Living in a Broken World: Prophetic Anger and Public Compassion

Wednesday Forum – 16 March 2022

We are living through dangerous times. Many of us are unaware of the times we live in except for a few days when global mainstream media decide to feature it before another feel-good news takes over. We face critical problems, globally and locally, across the board. While a sense of urgency should govern our behaviour, most of us are quite relaxed and go in a ‘business-usual’ manner: even as our global eco-footprint gets larger and larger every year, as we break eco-planetary limits, as we lose species after species every day, and as over 500 of our below 15 young olds face death every hour. The list is long. All these ‘going-ons’ do not show that compassion governs much of our private and public life. At present, we face the danger of global temperature, increasing the danger the future will have on all life on Earth. I believe the only way to turn this around in the long term lies not in ‘technology-infatuation’ and ‘GNP-seduced economic performance’. It lies in our local and global sense of urgency guided by prophetic anger and public compassion.

A M P A T Baru kemarin, pemerintah YTTA melakukan A M P A T
Baru kemarin, pemerintah YTTA melakukan aksi simsalabim dengan mencabut empat konsesi tambang di salah satu gugusan Red Line. Aksi "heroik" itu terlihat janggal ketika perusahaan yang paling bermasalah dalam perusakan lingkungan, bahkan yang menjadi pusat viral, justru dilindungi. Tentu bukan karena cocokologi dengan nama Raja Ampat sehingga hanya empat perusahaan yang dicabut konsesinya. Bukan cocokologi juga ketika Raja Ampat akan menjadi lokus tesis yang akan diuji esok di CRCS UGM. Berkebalikan dengan aksi badut jahat di Raja Ampat, @patricia_kabes akan bercerita bagaimana komunitas masyarakat di Aduwei mengelola laut dengan lestari melalui sasi. Berangkat dari negeri timur, peraih beasiswa LPDP ini justru menjadi yang pertama di angkatannya untuk menambahkan dua huruf pada akhir namanya.
For people who learn religious studies, it is comm For people who learn religious studies, it is common to say that "religion", as a concept and category, is Western modern invention. It is European origin, exported globally through colonialism and Christian mission. Despite its noble intention to decolonize modern social categories, it suffers from historical inaccuracy. Precolonial Islamic Malay and Javanese texts in the 16th and 17th century reflect a strong sense of reified religion, one whose meaning closely resembles the modern concept.

I N S P I R A S I Secara satir, penyandang disabil I N S P I R A S I
Secara satir, penyandang disabilitas baru mendapatkan sorotan ketika dia mampu berprestasi, mampu mengatasi segala rintangan dan kekurangan. Singkat kata, penyandang disabilitas kemudian menjadi sumber inspirasi bagi nondisabilitas. Budi Irawanto menyebutnya sebagai "inspirational porn". Simak ulasan lengkapnya di situs web crcs ugm.
Human are the creature who live between the mounta Human are the creature who live between the mountain and the sea. Yet, human are not the only one who live between the mountain and the sea. Human are the one who lives by absorbing what above and beneath the mountain and the sea. Yet, human are the same creature who disrupt and destroy the mountain, the sea, and everything between. Not all human, but always human. By exploring what/who/why/and how the life between the mountain and the sea is changing, we learn to collaborate and work together, human and non-human, for future generation—no matter what you belief, your cultural background.
