“…Basically, the belief in primbon in the Javanese ethnic community sooner or later experiences a shift and change as a result of the growth and development of a culture that is called by the current generation a "super organic" culture which is the creation of the community itself and they become followers of the culture (McGee & Warms 2013). They are mostly hardly controlled, but humanistic reactions will quickly react to these changes.…”

There is a phenomenon among the Javanese ethnic population, in which many wedding ceremonies are held whenever the Javanese calendar points to particular months such as Besar, Rejeb, and Ruwah, because marrying in those months is believed to bring good fortune. This study aimed to analyze the influence of wedding date determination through pitungan and feeling safe on birth variations of first-born and the number of children the wife gives birth to. The research was conducted in Blitar City, Blitar Regency, and Surabaya City with 193 married couples. Linear Regression and Chi-square were the statistical tests used in this research. Chi-square and Linear Regression tests proved that pitungan affects the birth variations of first-born (p = 0.004; p = 0.004) and the number of children a couple has (p = 0.007; p = 0.002). Both Chi-square and Linear Regression proved that feeling safe (roso slamet) does not have any significant effect on birth variations of first-born (p = 0.162; p = 0.767) and the number of children in household (p = 0.863; p = 0.680). The conclusion is that there is an important relationship between pitungan and birth variation in which the more pitungan is done, the sooner first-born is given birth to and the more children a married couple has.

“…28 This realisation clearly seems to move in our direction by crossing the boundaries related to the activation of the AR devices. However, we cannot take it as an intersubjective object because it does not have the other elements of the mundane intersubjectivity such as it does not provide any "resistance" to the action of the subjects.…”

The aim of this work is to provide the elements to design an intersubjective augmented reality in order to make the augmented objects part of our everyday world. This work will analyse intersubjectivity from a phenomenological point of view using the works by Husserl and Schutz. Thanks to these two authors it will be possible to understand how our intersubjective world is constituted by highlighting its constitutive elements. Therefore, it will be possible to make the inverse process and to create an intersubjective augmented world. While phenomenology starts from an intersubjective world and it analyses how such an intersubjectivity it is possible, this work will start from the constitutive elements of intersubjectivity in order to apply them in augmented reality and to create an intersubjective augmented world.This work will be divided in two main parts. The first part of the work will focus on intersubjectivity from a phenomenological point of view and the second part will focus on the application of these elements on augmented reality.It will show how it is mandatory to create objects which could make us scream "Ouch!" while bumping into them and augmented presences which resist to us.

“…While scholars uncovered a discrepancy between the thick and relatively tolerant same-sex tradition in dynastic China (Hinsch, 1990; Zhang, 2001) and the homo-suppressive culture in the 20th century (Leung, 2010; Li, 2006), they often attribute China’s transition into sexual conservatism to Westernization that brought in heteronormativity during the 19th and 20th century when China’s door was forcefully opened by the West through invasion. Indeed, as sexuality became a defining trait of personal identity in the Western world during the 18th and 19th centuries (Foucault, 1976; McGee and Warms, 2011: 53), same-sex practices were increasingly homosexualized in Maoist China under such institutionalized regulating forces that had never happened before, considering: first, homosexuality was subject to ‘the arbitrary imposition of administrative penalties and Party disciplinary sanctions’ (Li, 2006), and second, a subjectivity beyond the system of heterosexual structures began to seek articulation in social discourses but could not be articulated, ‘turn[ing] into a ghost living nowhere’ (Zhang, 2011). It seems undeniable that Westernization prepared China for a more homo-suppressive culture through its export of concepts like heteronormativity, sexualized identity and homosexuality per se , though it is not until the Maoist period that these imported concepts found best alliance with and expression in the red revolutionary culture and socialist ideologies.…”

Sexuality and the official construction of Occidentalism in Maoist and early post-Mao China

In Occidentalism, Xiaomei Chen observes that the West was employed by the opponents of official institutions as a liberating force against the Chinese government in the post-Mao period. As her arguments are premised on the basis that the government views the West as the contrary, the book briefly delineates ‘official Occidentalism’ that serves for domestic oppression of its citizens, and occasionally cultural imperialism toward its socialist brother. Nevertheless, this observation, as she admits, does not intend to totalize all cultural aspects and diversities. Encapsulating highly controversial and contested categories, as well as complicated or even contradictory sentiments, sexuality broaches a new subject matter on the study of Occidentalism. Situated in the genealogy of representing the West in Maoist and early post-Mao China by the official newspaper of the Communist Party of China, the People’s Daily, this article argues that, while sexuality had been silenced and suppressed under administrative penalties and Party disciplinary sanctions, it was powerfully embedded within and stereotyped by socialist ideologies, serving as a tool for the government to construct socialist superiority and capitalist inferiority, by means of which ‘new China’ gets healed from historical trauma, the socialist regime is justified, Western cultural imperialism is resisted, political allegiance is sustained, sino-centrism is re-established within the domestic sphere and the identity of the party-state is mediated. In doing so, the article aims to provide a theoretical construction of ‘official Occidentalism’ from the multiple lens of sexualities in Maoist and early post-Mao China.
