Seberapa dan bagaimana hubungan timbal-balik budaya (culture) dan emosi (emotions)? Pertanyaan ini lah yang menjadi titik simpul dan titik kebingungan dari kajian-kajian yang mencoba menggeledah emosi termasuk antropologi, filsafat, sosiologi, komunikasi dan lingustik, psikologi, dan sebagainya. Emosi sebagai konsep teoretis psikologi telah jauh-jauh hari dikaji serius oleh banyak pakar, salah satunya Paul Ekman dan rekan-rekannya. Usaha menangkap dan meringkus definisi emosi dalam satu terminologi yang ketat sudah dilakukan sejak zaman Yunani, baik di bidang filsafat maupun psikologi. Perjalanan panjang ambil-buang ini, hingga saat ini hanya dapat memahatnya dalam pengungkapan aspek-aspek emosi saja baik bentuk maupun pengungkapannya.

Lev Semyonovich Vygotsky menjadi sosok yang dikenal luas dalam Psikologi Amerika sejak publikasi atas monografnya pada tahun 1962, yakni Thought and Language. Lima tahun yang lalu (1973), atas desakan seorang murid Vygotsky, Alexander Luria, kami sepakat untuk mengedit kumpulan esai Vygotsky yang mencerminkan karya teoretis umum yang mengkaji hubungan antara Pikiran dan Bahasa sebagai salah satu aspek penting. Luria mengerjakan terjemahan kasar untuk kami atas dua tulisan Vygotsky. Tulisan pertama, "Tool and Symbol in Children's Development" (1930) yang tidak pernah diterbitkan. Tulisan kedua, merupakan penerjemahan atas monograf yang berjudul “The History of the Development of the Higher Psychological Functions, yang muncul pada volume kedua tulisan Vygotsky yang diterbitkan di Moskow pada tahun 1960. Kajian sambil lalu atas esai ini secara cepat meyakinkan kami bahwa lingkup karya Vygotsky jauh melampaui Thought and Language. Terlebih lagi, kami mulai percaya bahwa citra Vygotsky sebagai “semacam neo-behavioris awal” bidang perkembangan kognitif−kesan yang dipegang oleh banyak rekan kami−sangat sudah terbantah lewat dua karya ini.

136 tahun silam, tepatnya tanggal 21 April 1879, lahir seorang bayi perempuan yang kelak tumbuh menjadi gadis kecil nan lincah. Ia kerap dijuluki sebagai “kuda Koree” (kuda liar), oleh karena ia enggan untuk berjalan seperti siput dan ketika tertawa sering membuka mulutnya lebar-lebar dengan menunjukkan gigi-giginya. Suatu hal yang jarang dilakukan oleh seorang yang bergelar Raden Ayu.

The aims of paper is digging beneath the ontological relations between human and technology. It is handled by drawing a inspiration from Martin Heidegger's thought, specifically the period of Heidegger II. This library research discusses two key of Heidegger’s texts against technology, namely: “Questions concerning Technology” and “Discourse about Thinking”. The paper provides some findings: 1) The Dasein reconstruction transforms toward Digi-sein as the only and one Questioner of Being that exist within a heart of digital culture; 2) Heideggerian destruction of gestell as a framed way of thinking that makes humans and technology relations become non-free relations. Heidegger calls calculative thinking as actually "flight from thinking". Gestell shackles us in exploitative ways of thinking that oppose disclosure the veil of human openness to the Being; 3) Heidegger employs gelassenheit as a simple and relaxed attitude, as releasement, that was not impermeable to nuance...

This paper aims to show at once critics and solutions for the logic of critical education, which has recently been sporadically appropriated by educational institutions and communities in Indonesia. This paper uses the method of library research with primary sources, namely: The Ignorant Schoolmaster: Five Lessons in Intellectual Emancipation by Jacques Rancière. Findings shed light on several things, namely: 1) Rancière's critics of critical education which perpetuates the paradox of equality; 2) The experience of “the teacher who did not know”, Josep Jacotot who accidentally found a way of learning that emancipated his students; 3) Rancière’s criticism of the explicative order which perpetuated the myth of pedagogy. Therefore, the world is divided into two: superior intelligence and inferior intelligence. So that, it made up the imaginary distance, thus it tied the domination relation between the master of explicator and the subordinated ones; 4) Rancière’s critics of the fund...

This is considered important that today, religious moderation is expected to be a mode of living together that able to reconstructs a just and rational moral grammar, instead of falling into a deficit of rationality.

This study aimed to reveal both the narrative identities of elderly masculinity and the psychological dynamics that accompanied the journey of life as an older man. Five older men, who live in a geriatric house in Yogyakarta, were participated in this study. This study used hermeneutic-phenomenological approaches, with critical narrative analysis developed from Paul Ricoeur’s hermeneutics for the data analysis. The results showed that the face of elderly masculinity is paradoxical masculinity. At the ideal level, the older men appropriated hegemonic masculinity and were in the marginalized masculinity position at the level of reality. Masculine subjects had been experienced the maturation effect of togetherness with their wife. Wife has been an important subject as a medium for growth and a medium to maintain traditional manhood. Paradoxical condition and their intersection with the complexity of the psychological dynamics made older men offer a wiser masculine attitude and transfor...

Selamat Datang, Mari Memulai Selamat datang dan tiba ke “rumah” Psychosophia: Journal of Psychology, Religion, and Humanity—sebuah jurnal peer-review—terbitan pertama. Edisi perdana ini mengambil judul “Psychology, Islam & Global Issues: Research, Approach, and Method”, dimana keputusan editorial ini menimbang bahwa epistemologi Psikologi Islam sendiri—sebagai suatu jalan baru (yang sedang meretas)—masih sangat muda dan “being becoming”. Oleh karenanya, pencarian “jati diri” ini dipandang sebagai sebuah core issue yang mau tidak mau mesti disinggung dan terus dipikirkan. Menggelisahkan, memang. Namun, bukankah kegelisahan intelektual merupakan ciri bahwa entitas tersebut hidup dan beraktivitas?

Today, the world is languishing in a patriarchal structure. This patriarchal domination not only harms women, but also men, children, the elderly, and marginalized groups. Gender mainstreaming extends its studies not only to femininity but to parenting (motherhood and fatherhood), early childhood. In addition, gender also extends to the realm of masculinity or male studies. In this case, the psychology of gender underlines this phenomenon with hegemonic masculinity discourse. Masculinity is seen from the dominance of the spaces of life both public and private. This paper examines the ideology of hegemonic masculinity as the most desirable theoretical response to Critical Men Studies (CSM). This elaboration of the Hegemonic Masculinity concept is useful as a 'binocular tool' that is operational for empirical studies of masculinity.
