Perubahan berjalan semakin cepat dan akan melibas apa saja seperti logos menggantikan mitos dan secara tegas menelanjangi tabir mitologi. Pada era itu timbul reaksi para penganut status quo sontak menyebut sebagai era “the death of god” (“crisis of theology”). Perubahan yang begitu cepat ini menyebabkan “culture shock” bagi orang yang sulit berkompromi dan m […]
Tokoh postmodern, Jean Baudrillard, menyatakan media terutama televisi mampu menampilkan simulasi/model yang demikian intens memenuhi ruang kehidupan sosial, sehingga mengaburkan batas antara citra dan fakta. Citra menjadi lebih real dibanding realitas sebenarnya sehingga cenderung dijadikan kriteria. Ini disebut hyperreal yang menjadi ciri dunia postmodern, […]

”Sejarah ditulis oleh yang menang”, demikian kalimat ini disusun. Seorang sejarawan menyatakan bahwa para penguasa selalu berusaha menguasai tafsir sejarah guna melegitimasi kekuasaan, seperti dilakukan Ken Arok ketika mendirikan Singasari dan membuat silsilah yang menerangkan bahwa dia keturunan Raja-raja Mataram. Dalam konteks ini, sejarah memainkan perana […]

This year's LA Auto Show is buzzing with real-life and concept hybrid and all-electric cars. But in the clean diesel corner, the crickets were chirping. Will Americans ever be ready for clean diesels?
For the most part, auto makers have learned from their mistakes: At the 2009 LA Auto Show, there were very few cars you would classify as design faux pas. In other words, there wasn't a Pontiac Aztek in sight. But that doesn't mean every car looks right.
Every year the L.A. Auto Show organizers ask transportation designers to imagine how cars will look in the distant future. For 2009, the challenge focused on cars that will appeal to teenagers in 2030.
