"In Modernism, Narrative and Humanism, Paul Sheehan attempts to redefine modernist narrative for the twenty-first century. For Sheehan modernism presents a major form of critique of the fundamental presumptions of humanism. By pairing key modernist writers with philosophical critics of the humanist tradition, he shows how modernistssought to discover humanism’s inhuman potential.Heexamines the development of narrative during the modernist period and sets it against, among others, the nineteenth-century philosophicalwritings of Schopenhauer, Darwin and Nietzsche. Focusing on the major novels and poetics of Conrad, Lawrence,Woolf and Beckett, Sheehan investigates these writers’ mistrust of humanist orthodoxyand their consequent transformations and disfigurations of narrative order. He reveals the crucial link between the modernist novel’snarrative concerns and its philosophical orientation in a book that will be of compelling interest to scholars of modernism and literarytheory."

"Sebagaimana diketahui, persoalan pembangunan suatu masyarakat, baik di negara-negara berkembang maupun di negara-negara maju, hingga saat ini masih berada dalam suatu proses yang tak kunjung selesai dilalui. Di Indonesia, di kawasan negara Asia Tenggara, bahkan di Amerika Serikat-pun sebagai negara superpower yang saat ini dilanda krisis ekonomi global, masalah pembangunan menjadi suatu problem penting dan menarik. Krisis multidimensional yang secara tiba-tiba menyerbu dunia sejak tahun 1997-an membuktikan kegagalan paradigma pembangunan yang selama ini dibangun dan diterapkan."

"Louise Williams explores the nature of historical memory in the work of five major Modernists: Yeats, Pound, Hulme, Ford and Lawrence. These Modernists, Williams argues, started their careers with historical assumptions derived from the nineteenth century. But their views on the universal structure of history, on the abandonment of progress and the adoption of a cyclical sense of the past, were the result of important conflicts and changes within the Modernist period. Williams focuses on the period immediately before World War I, and shows in detail how Modernism developed and why it is considered a unique intellectual movement. She also revisits the theory that the Edwardian age was a difficult period of transition to the modern world. Finally, she illuminates the contribution of non-Western culture to the literature and thought of the period. This wide-ranging and inter-disciplinary study is essential reading for literary and cultural historians of the modernist period"

"The decision of Supreme Court of Justice as the formal legal system should have been strongly applied to solve legal matters such as the problem of inheritance. Among the social life of Karo, a sub-ethnic group of the Batak of North Sumatera, the national legal system which should be applied to all citizens in Indonesia, has not yet been able to be fully accepted due to the discrepancies of the nature of legal system with the nature of cultural system of the people and their customary law."
