    IAS Journal of Localities

    IAS Journal of Localities is an international journal published by the Yayasan Irwan Abdullah Cendekia. The journal dedicates a perfect-bound issue of localities to a contemporary problem or theme and includes descriptive, analytical, and critical writing on topics such as trans-locality, multiculturalism, hybridity, and in-betweenness, as well as theoretical papers on fundamental theories and methodologies of locality or trans-locality. The journal also accepts papers from interdisciplinary studies, with a focus on the variety of local responses to transnational and trans-local movements, as well as their potential to generate locality not only as a site of resistance against globalization, but also as a site of alternatives, such as alternative theories, alternative communities, and alternative spaces. IAS Journal of Localities has frequently incorporated design elements and conceptual details that are specific to the nature of the current theme (such as global trends and local concerns), resulting in distinct issues that contribute to a collective vision and exploration of a theme and make each issue a self-contained and enduring reference.

    Elegentia: Journal of Arts, Media, and Technology

    ELEGENTIA: Journal of Arts, Media, Technology is an international, peer-reviewed, open access journal  published by the Irwan Abdullah Cendekia Foundation, a space for theoretical and practical conversations about the world of art that develops dynamically in a changing space and time. Two major contexts accommodated in this journal are the shift from local to global and the process of technological disruption, both of which not only provide space for artistic expression but also structure the creative process and artistic value. This journal invites ideas and research results on art in the development of a dynamic global and technological space, apart from art science as well as from various disciplines such as history, philosophy, anthropology, sociology, politics, economics, and administration. These disciplines can be an approach that sharpens the analysis of the art world. At the same time, the journal also emphasises the development of the art world itself as a force for solving national and human problems. Art is believed in this journal not only to balance human life but also to provide solutions to increasingly complex life problems.
