ABSTRACT I propose an inquiry into performances (i.e. dance) dance within transnationalism as a space of transcending border and reconfiguring alignment. In this project, I try to locate performance— the embodiment of dance technique, a mastered bodily code—as a possibility of dissident feminist praxis. I aim through this presentation to engage the idea of examining local cultural disturbance and of so-called “injustice, especially with many extraction of natural sources” where the construction of marginality and representation requires [often] idea of universal. This space of transnationalism has become a competitive place, as “different” being constructed, the shared concern are limited to how language of necessity mediates and what was the one who make the concern able to cross borders, which I call the imagination of the transient border, through ritual, dance technique and performance spaces. In this Wednesday forum, I question the idea of feminism without borders, as Chandra Talpade Mohanty suggests, made possible through artistic performances and narratives taking place within the global aesthetic. Also meditation through Marta Savigliano’s conception on the issue of “world dance.” PRESENTER Rachmi Diyah Larasati Ph.D is Associate Professor of Dance, cultural theory and historiography at Theatre Arts and Dance & Feminist Studies (Gender, Women, and Sexuality Studies, Aff.)

Prof. Nawal Ammar
In her presentation about Are Islamic Thinking and Ecofeminism Possible, Prof. Ammar explained that it is not difficult to understand the ecological crisis in its apparent manifestations as polluted air, radiation, contamination of water, and the eradication of entire species of animals and plants.
However, as Foucault (1978) argued we do not live in an ecology but we live in a culture that influences ecology. A number of new episteme have been introduced regarding the relationship between culture and the environment in the past quarter of a century, Ecofeminism is one of those episteme that examines such a relationship.
Krisis besar memerlukan energi besar untuk menghadapinya. Memandang dahsyatnya tantangan yang diakibatkan krisis lingkungan di masa ini, tak mengejutkan jika agama kemudian terlibat dan dilibatkan. Dari banyak dimensi krisis itu, pembahasan buku ini terpusat pada salah satu persoalan lingkungan terbesar, yaitu konsumsi dan populasi. Konsumsi berlebihan dan pertambahan pendudukan yang tak terkendali adalah dua faktor utama yang membebani daya-dukung bumi secara berlebihan. Sampai kapan bumi mampu menanggungnya?
