I employed an example of Mumbai’s street foods to examine consumption, production, and distribution practices and compared the cities of Mumbai, India, and Phoenix, United States. Rigorous qualitative analysis of the data gathered from fourteen Indian immigrants in Phoenix suggested that consumption declined when street foods’ core identity shifted in Phoenix. I discovered that the differences in having street foods in sit-down settings or the lack of a public street food culture might never be bridged in Phoenix. However, specific production and distribution strategies rooted in nostalgic memories from Mumbai may boost consumption.

The ATUMICS approach is carried out to review the transformation of tradition in the Sundanese script. The ancient Sundanese script and the modern Sundanese script will be compared with ATUMICS approach. the results of this study were to determine the change or transformation of tradition in the Sundanese script. Transforming tradition is a way to create a new product derived from traditions, with adjustments to the six elements contained in the ATUMICS theory. Transformation of tradition is an effort to maintain tradition in the modern era which is adjusted to the times.","PeriodicalId":156044,"journal":{"name":"Cultural Syndrome","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-02-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121263360","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They focus on patterns found in many traditional buildings repeatedly across the Nusantara. These patterns, taken from flora and fauna of the region, recall how woodcarvers, artisans and builders were inspired by the living beings which they found surrounding them. The paper highlights that these nature-related motifs represent a ‘regionalising’ aesthetic strategy, which vary in terms of location, and which builders and patrons of architecture used to regionalize and ‘localise’ their buildings and cases. The hand-drawn motifs in the study were thenrelated to the symbolic and spiritual meaning of them, highlighting that these meaning could be again re-instated in modern architecture. The motifs could represent a spiritual and regional means of re-infusing the built environment with a ‘soul’ and meaning, in the midst of modernization and urbanization.

Aside from its aesthetic values, Cirebon glass painting also contained the symbol and message behind its ornaments. Figurative calligraphy with Arabic script is frequently used by glass painting artisans to make Cirebon glass painting. The resulted figurative calligraphy can take form resembling those of human figure, plants, animals, wayang, and the imaginary entity or particular symbols. As it is, Cirebon is one of the busiest port city in Java island. Therefore, many cultural exchanges happened by the interaction of many nationalities visiting Cirebon which later on assimilated to the local culture. This makes Cirebon glass painting unique since it was influenced by a mixture of cultures. This research focused on the elements that are contained on the Cirebon glass painting based on the artistic, magic, and religious aspect. The result in this research has an implication to expose the symbols, message and meaning behindCirebon glass painting and its synergy with the artistic, magic, and religious aspect that makes Cirebon glass painting survived and still doing well in Cirebon society nowadays.","PeriodicalId":156044,"journal":{"name":"Cultural Syndrome","volume":"64 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129508978","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the era of information technology like today, the spread of Islamic teachings can be done in various ways, including through memes. For millennials who are proficient with technology, Islamic memes are an alternative media for da'wah. This is due to the power of memes in conveying messages through image visualization and humour-style text. Islamic memes are generally distributed via the internet and messaging applications on smartphones. Most Islamic memes are designed using illustration styles. To understand the visual language of memes, this study formulates the question: how to read visual signs in Islamic memes as da'wah media, because the types of da'wah in memes are not only in the form of written text but also in the form of images? This study uses a combination method, which combines quantitative and qualitative approaches. Quantitatively, this study collects data about the views of the millennial generation on the attractiveness of illustration-style Islamic memes. Whereas qualitatively, an analysis of samples of illustration-style Islamic memes uses semiotic theory to see the structure of design elements as the visual language of da’wah messages. The results of this study are expected to be a reference for the scientific field of visual communication design, as well as encourage the creation of more productive and communicative Islamic memes as da'wah media for millennial generations.","PeriodicalId":156044,"journal":{"name":"Cultural Syndrome","volume":"92 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127043537","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
