The Iconography of Pop Culture in Ghana: Black Sherif’s Music in Perspective
Full text linkGhanaian tradition, like other African traditions, revolves around cultural values and beliefs. These cultural values and beliefs vary as a result of the different cultural contexts in Ghana. One of the most popular traditions in Ghana is the use of songs as a form of entertainment and a mouthpiece for satirizing society’s ills. Mohammed Ismail Sherif Kwaku Frimpong, popularly known as Black Sherif, is a musician who employs the oral genre of Ghanaian music to unveil some of the pertinent issues in Ghana. This study uses the lyrics of the selected songs as data, which are transcribed and textually analyzed to situate Black Sherif’s music as a pathway through which the young people divulge critical issues confronting them and the vulnerable in the country. The study explores how the artiste presents entertaining yet thought-provoking songs as a manner of expression and foregrounds the culture of Ghana through the use of diction, imagery, and symbolism. It argues that the young people play constitutive roles in nation-building by promoting the Ghanaian culture through the songs they write, so society should grant them an audience and heed what they say. The findings reveal that the economic situation of the country has rendered young people jobless and frustrated and that the ghetto lifestyle has emerged as a popular culture in Ghana
Translation Criticism: Implementation of House’s TQA Model on “Sweet Hour of Prayer” into Indonesian
Full text linkThe article examined the quality of the translation of the hymn “Sweet Hour of Prayer” (1845) into the Indonesian lyric “Inilah Jam Ku Berdoa”. The study used a qualitative method with an inductive orientation. The primary data were collected from the American Seventh-day Adventist Hymnal (1985) and the Indonesian hymnal Lagu Sion (2013).

Furthermore, it was discovered that the translation of “Sweet Hour of Prayer” from English to Indonesian was not adequate in quality due to manipulations that reduced the lyric to a covert version

Full text linkIn vitruvius principles, a successful applied design should comply with 3 basic needs. Those are venusity (aesthetic), utilities (function), and firmities (structure). As the bones of the building, structures are often unseen, covered, and considered last by most interior design students. Columns and beams are often taken as a nuisance in creating the perfect canvas of blank space ready to design. Thus, it creates a fragmentation within the building development process to create a well performing building. Conventional approach to deliver the understanding and basics of physics in construction classes had struggled long before google image and pinterest came to flood the students with visual information in decorative manners. The presence of covid 19 then forced the construction teachers to think of appropriate teaching methods to keep increasing interest in learning on this less desirable subject. This study was conducted in a quantitative experimental method in 4 consecutive years of construction and statics class.
