Bukan hal mengherankan jika pada akhirnya hukum Islam memainkan peran penting dalam pembangunan hukum di Indonesia. Dalam historiografi, hukum Islam telah menjadi dasar pengaturan masyarakat dalam rentang lama, setidak- tidaknya dimulai ketika Kesultanan Perlak berdiri pada 840. Di masa Hindia Belanda, hukum Islam hidup dengan beragam corak yang berkonstelasi dengan hukum adat dan hukum kolonial. Ketika deklarasi kemerdekaan Indonesia pada 1945, hukum Islam tetap menempati posisi strategis dan itu bisa dilihat dari kontestasi penentuan dasar negara. Pada hari ini, hukum Islam dihadapkan pada situasi yang lebih kompleks. Kita hidup dalam suatu—meminjam abstraksi McLuhan—“global village” yang membuat kita tak bisa menghindar dari impresi kesejagatan. Kehidupan di negara-negara lain, terutama yang lebih maju, kerap memengaruhi kita dengan cepat dan membuat batas antara diri “kita” dan “mereka” menjadi begitu sama

What makes hundreds of listeners cheer ecstatically at the same instant during a live concert by Egyptian diva Umm Kulthum? What is the unspoken language behind a taqsim (traditional instrumental improvisation) that performers and listeners implicitly know? How can Arabic music be so rich and diverse without resorting to harmony? Why is it so challenging to transcribe Arabic music from a recording? Inside Arabic Music answers these and many other questions from the perspective of two "insiders" to the practice of Arabic music, by documenting a performance culture and a know-how that is largely passed on orally. Arabic music has spread across the globe, influencing music from Greece all the w...
Beyond Training examines the nature of second language teacher development and how teachers' practices are influenced by their beliefs and principles. It seeks to move discussion of language teacher development beyond the level of "training," which reflects a technical view of specific teaching practices. Instead, it takes a more holistic approach to teacher development built on the notion of the teacher as critical and reflective thinker. The argument pursued throughout is that teacher education needs to engage teachers not merely in the mastery of techniques, but in an exploration of the knowledge, beliefs, and attitudes that underly their teaching practices.
This book argues that political Islam (represented by its moderate and militant forms) has failed to govern effectively or successfully due to its inability to reconcile its discursive understanding of Islam, centered on literal justice, with the dominant neo-liberal value of freedom. Consequently, Islamists' polities have largely been abject, often tragic failures in providing a viable collective life and sound governance. This argument is developed theoretically and supported through a set of case studies represented by the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt (under President Muhammad Morsi’s tenure), Hassan Turabi's National Islamic Front in Sudan and The Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS). It is ideal for audiences interested in Regional Politics, Islamic Studies and Middle Eastern Studies.
Issues in Materials Development provides readers with theoretical foundations and practical aspects of designing materials for EFL/ESL contexts. It starts with discussing some basic and preliminary principles of materials design followed by scrutinizing critical issues in materials development in an objective and systematic way. This ranges from considering learners’ needs, adopting, adapting, selection, and gradation of materials to the specific focus of the book on developing various types of materials for the four language skills, pronunciation, ESP vocabulary, and computer assisted language learning materials. Authenticity of materials to be designed and the inclusion of affective factors to develop motivating materials to engage language learners, in addition to features of materials design at a universal level are other areas to read about. This book finally tries to open new horizons and possible futuristic approaches to improve today’s ELT materials.
