Ludovico Baterma Travel to Mecca 1503

Image
Orang Barat pertama yang pernah ke Mekah dan Madinah adalah Ludovico Bartema pada 1503. Ludovico menerus pengembaraan ke beberapa negara dan akhirnya pulang ke Rome dan meninggal dunia pada 1517. Petikan akhbar indonesia ( link ): Kita dapat membaca pengalaman Ludovico Bartema, “tuan terhormat dari Roma” yang bepergian ke Mekah pada tahun 1503, sebagaimana dicatat oleh Augustus Ralli di dalam bukunya Christians at Mecca (1909). Bartema mengungkapkan bahwa perjalanannya ke Mekah ditemani oleh ”rasa lapar dan haus, cuaca dingin dan panas, peperangan, tawanan, dan ketakutan-ketakutan”. Akan tetapi, ia tetap melakuni perjalanan panjang itu karena didorong oleh “hasrat membara untuk mengetahui”. Dari Venesia, Bartema menuju Alexandria lalu mengunjungi Mesir, Berynto, Tripoli, Antioch, dan Damaskus. Di Damaskus, secara kebetulan ia bertemu dengan ”salah seorang pemimpin pasukan Mamluk”, lalu memutuskan untuk pergi ke Mekah dengan menyamar sebagai seorang Mamluk. Bartema bergabung dengan kafi...

The Sign of the Burger

Image
A very interesting book "The Sign of the Burger" was published by Temple University Press. Read the chapter on Introduction  here . [Link no longer available]. The Sign of the Burger So begins a complicated journey into the power of one of the most recognizable signs of American capitalism: The Golden Arches.  The Sign of the Burger  examines how McDonald's captures our imagination: as a shorthand for explaining the power of American culture; as a symbol of the strength of consumerism; as a bellwether for the condition of labor in a globalized economy; and often, for better or worse, a powerful educational tool that often defines the nature of culture for hundreds of millions the world over. While many books have offered simple complaints of the power of McDonald's, Joe Kincheloe explores the real ways McDonald's affects us. We see him as a young boy in Appalachia, watching the Golden Arches going up as the - hopeful - arrival of the modern into his rural world. A...

Membaca Sedikit Tentang Bani Khuzaah

Image
Khuza'ah dikaitkan dengan asbabun nuzul at-Taubah 14. Apakah sejarah Khuzaah? Jawapannya adalah mereka punya sejarah dengan penjagaan Ka'abah. Seperti mana yang kita tahu sejarah Ka'abah bermula dengan Hajar dan Ismail sebagai penjaganya. Kemudian mereka bersama menjaganya dengan Puak Jurhum. Nabi Ismail telah berkahwin dengan seorang wanita puak Jurhum. Dalam artikel Inggeris mereka ditulis Gorrhamite ( wiki ). Puak Jurhum adalah terdiri dari Bani Bakr dan Bani Khuza'ah. Bermakna kedua-dua Bani ini telah bersaing untuk menjaga Ka'abah sejak zaman silam lagi. Bani Khuza'ah dipimpin oleh Amr' bin Rabiah (atau Luhay). Beliaulah yang pernah membawa pulang idol berhala Hubay dari negeri Syam. Beliau berbuat begitu kerana terpegun apabila sembuh penyakit yang dirawat oleh mereka yang tinggal di Syam yang mengamal penyembahan berhala. Penjagaan Ka'abah berikutnya diserah kepada kaum Quraisy yang dipimpin oleh Qusay bin Kilab. Qusay telah berkahwin dengan Hubay...

McD Tutup Perniagaan

Image
Bukan semua perniagaan McD berjaya. Ada juga negara di mana McD menutup kedai kerana gagal dalam perniagaannya. Negara tersebut ialah Iceland, Bolivia, Jamaica, Paraguay dan Trinidad – baca  time  dan  nytimes . McD menutup perniagaan mereka di Bolivia sejak tahun 2002 setelah tujuh tahun beroperasi. Bolivia dihuni oleh ramai penduduk pribumi iaitu sekitar 60%. Statistik menyebut bahawa perniagaan McD di sana hanya bertumpu kepada 40% penduduk lain yang bukan pribumi.  Artikel mengenai penutupan McD di Bolivia boleh baca di sini –  latinamericastudies . Di Jamaica McD menutup kesemua lapan restoran mereka pada Oktober 2005. McD berada di Jamaica hanya untuk tempoh sepuluh tahun. Menurut laporan satu sebab kenapa ia gagal bertahan di Jamaica ialah kerana saiz burger McD masih tidak cukup besar untuk warga Jamaica. Burger King masih bertahan di sana kerana saiz burgernya lebih besar dari McD!.  Artikel penutupan McD di Jamaica boleh baca di sini –  qsrma...
