It is evident from the fact that there are still institutions and students who ask questions about Indonesian language courses at INCULS. In this regard, INCULS offers online learning for foreign speakers who want to learn Indonesian for foreign speakers (BIPA).

It’s been 4 months we have lived side by side with the corona virus pandemic and a bunch of information about the plague. world’s statistical data and the Government of Indonesia show how the pandemic continues to this day, there are no signs except in some countries where the people and governments are very disciplined. However, at the end of June, the public’s attitude towards the pandemic became very slack. The concept of “new normal” which was implemented by the Government in various countries was responded as “back to normal”. This situation is in stark contrast to the first two months of the pandemic, where many people took extra measures to deal with the pandemic, now people seem to have no problem. How can we understand all this?

This FIB webinar will explore the diversity of this “new normal” experience that seems too early in a comparative manner between regions through archaeological, historical, linguistic, literary and ethnographic perspectives.

Will be held on August 10, 2020 13.00 – 15.00 WIB

Nowadays is a rare time for social researchers to feel ” experience-near ” (Geertz, 1983): “what he or his fellows see, feel, think, imagine, and so on, and which he would readily understand when similarly applied by others ” live under the stress of the pandemic. Socially, pandemic or attacks of infectious diseases in a wide area and affecting a high number of populations are not experienced, and felt equally by all members of the community. This happens because the stresses that arise during the pandemic are filtered by various ecological, physiological, economic, social, political and symbolic relations that operate in society, and citizens do not occupy the same position in these relations.

The webinar on pandemic organized by FIB-UGM will explore various life experiences during an pandemic from archaeological, historical, ethnographic, linguistic and literary perspectives. This webinar can also be an opportunity for a methodological exploration of the extent to which close experiences influence reading, reflecting on, or analyzing humanities facts.
