Die Gesinnung der Verantwortungsethik
Authors: Ohly Lukas
Published: May 2017

Max Weber’s differentiation between ethics of responsibility and ethics of conscience plays a prominent role in political ethics until today, but this is no ethical differentiation. Additionally, based on a categorical mistake, this difference is false in meta-ethical respect. In normative respect, Weber’s rationale of an ethics of responsibility is (even) circular. Employing two examples from (recent) theological ethics, the present essay sketches consequences of these conceptual weaknesses within the present debate on the refugee crisis.
Der irdische Jesus und die Praxisbedeutung der Christologie
Authors: Theißen Henning
Published: May 2017

As ›high Christology‹ often appears incompatible with church practice, the present essay ana­lyses the most prominent Christological concepts promulgated since H. S. Reimarus under the keywords of the ›historical Jesus‹ (D. F. Strauß), the ›kerygmatic Christ‹ (M. Kähler) and, most recently, the ›earthly Jesus‹ (J. Schröter), all promising to give orientation for the entirety of theological subjects and church practice (I.). In combination with theories of memory (as proposed by J. Assmann), especially the ›earthly Jesus‹ seems to be influential today but, in view of the problems of ›posttruth‹ (English ›word of the year‹ 2016), to which prominent theories of memory do not offer any effective remedy, also in need of correction (II.). Finally the essay reconstructs the concept of an ›earthly Jesus‹ as developed by Hans-Georg Geyer (1929-1999) of Göttingen, offering the task of theological ›commemoration‹ over against theories of (collective) memory (III.).

From “The Rise of Southern Redneck and White Trash Writers”1
Authors: Bledsoe Erik
Published: May 2017

This chapter discusses the emergence of a new generation of southern writers who are giving voice to a different group of southerners, forcing their readers to reexamine long-held stereotypes and beliefs while challenging the literary roles traditionally assigned poor whites. According to Linda Tate, “traditionally, southern literature has been understood to be that written by white men and, on rare occasions, by white women—and, in almost all cases, by and about white southerners of the upper middle class.” This chapter looks at three new voices who write about the Rough South and the southern poor whites from within the class: Dorothy Allison, Larry Brown, and Timothy Reese McLaurin. The term “Rough South” refers to as the world of the redneck or white trash. The terms “redneck,” “white trash,” “cracker,” and “poor white” have all been used to describe certain white southerners.
Harry Crews: Progenitor
Authors: Jeffrey David K.
Published: May 2017

This chapter discusses the life and work of Harry Crews. Born on June 7, 1935, in Alma, a rural town in Bacon County, Georgia, Crews described the poverty and despair of his upbringing in A Childhood: The Biography of a Place (1979). In 1968 he published his first novel, The Gospel Singer. When Crews died on March 28, 2013, he had more than twenty-five titles to his credit: novels, chapter collections, screenplays, and novellas. He published his best works between 1974 and 1979. In addition to The Gospel Singer, Crews wrote Naked in Garden Hills, This Thing Don't Lead to Heaven, Karate Is a Thing of the Spirit, Car, The Hawk Is Dying, and The Gypsy's Curse.
Kaye Gibbons: Tough Women in a Rough South
Authors: Godwin Rebecca
Published: May 2017

This chapter discusses Kaye Gibbons's work, which portrays wise and hardworking women whose gumption improves the lot of the suffering lower class. Born Bertha Kaye Batts on May 5, 1960, Kaye Gibbons grew up in a Nash County, North Carolina, farming community named Bend of the River. When Gibbons was ten, her mother committed suicide by overdosing on sleeping pills; her father drank himself to death soon thereafter. Orphaned at age twelve, Gibbons lived briefly with an aunt and then in a foster home, before moving in with her married older brother. Gibbons learned early to love the written word, a key to her survival. Her first novel, Ellen Foster, was published in 1987, and its sequel, The Life All Around Me by Ellen Foster, in 2006. Gibbons's second novel, A Virtuous Woman (1989), features a character whose inner conflict highlights the tension between the Rough South and the working-class South her family represents. Gibbons's other novels include A Cure for Dreams (1991) and Charms for the Easy Life (1993).
A Country for Old Men: The South of Clyde Edgerton’s Early Novels
Authors: Donahoo Robert
Published: May 2017

This chapter discusses Clyde Edgerton's early novels, whose characters define themselves and the essential nature of contemporary life in the South. If we accept Erik Bledsoe's description of the Rough South as “a world of excess—excessive alcohol, excessive sex, excessive violence,” the works of Edgerton hardly seem to qualify. Indeed, Yvonne Mason, in Reading, Learning, Teaching Clyde Edgerton, declares his work “infinitely suitable” for “young readers in the English Language Arts classroom”—an appraisal difficult to imagine for the fiction of Harry Crews or Larry Brown. Edgerton's first three novels—Raney (1985), Walking Across Egypt (1987), and The Floatplane Notebooks (1988)—offer a way to understand his South, a world that increasingly belongs to and is defined by aging and death. This chapter considers Edgerton's other works, including the novel The Night Train (2011), the memoir Solo: My Adventure in the Air (2005), and the nonfiction Papadaddy's Book for New Fathers: Advice to Dads of All Ages (2013).
Once a Paradise: Brad Watson’s Southern Afterlife
Authors: Newhouse Wade
Published: May 2017

This chapter discusses Brad Watson's 2002 novel The Heaven of Mercury, which lies squarely amid the matrix of evolving and competing Souths. It has recently become standard at conferences and in journals devoted to southern literature to ask whether southern literature itself is still a distinct category. For scholars in new southern studies, “southern” literature includes work produced as far from the old Confederacy as Caribbean and Central American nations, while critics have declared that novels as canonically New England as Nathaniel Hawthorne's The House of the Seven Gables (1851) unconsciously depend upon an antebellum southern agrarian ideal. A native of Mississippi who spent time in Florida, Watson is by rights a true southerner, without such common qualifiers as “adopted” or “expatriate” to dilute his pedigree.
Twenty-First-Century Writers: The Rural Southern Tradition Continues
Authors: Cash Jean W.
Published: May 2017

This chapter focuses on twenty-first-century writers who carry on the rural southern tradition in their work. Since 2000, several young southern writers, nearly all born after 1975 and from middle-class rural and lower-class backgrounds, have begun to publish fiction. Both portraying the areas where they were born and grew up and transcending those settings to address more universal themes, they have produced a significant body of praiseworthy work. Most were born into rural families but received the benefits of post-secondary education, but all seem committed to presenting the working-class South with realism and empathy. Among these new novelists are Joe Samuel Starnes, Peter Farris, John Brandon, Wiley Cash, Skip Horack, Barb Johnson, Michael Farris Smith, and Jesmyn Ward. Clearly, novels that address southern characters in southern scenes will continue to be written, whether of the Rough South variety from writers like Johnson or from writers like Ward, Horack, Brandon, Cash, and Smith.
Trash or Treasure? Images of the Hardscrabble South in Twenty-First-Century Film
Authors: Gaughran Richard
Published: May 2017

This chapter focuses on twenty-first-century films that depict the hardscrabble South. Divisive images of the American South have appeared throughout the history of film, for example, in D. W. Griffith's The Birth of a Nation (1915) or in Victor Fleming's Gone with the Wind (1939). However, there have also been benign, even sympathetic films on poor southerners, including Jean Renoir's The Southerner (1945) and Debra Granik's 2010 adaptation of Daniel Woodrell's Winter's Bone (2006). This chapter discusses films that portray the Rough South, such as George Washington (2000), Shotgun Stories (2007), and That Evening Sun (2009). The trend outlined by these and other filmmakers suggests that a conscious revision is underway: an attempt to bring the rough characters to the fore, to reexamine the conditions that give rise to “redneck,” “hillbilly,” and “white trash” stereotypes.
Prefiguring Postblackness
Authors: Davis Carol Bunch
Published: May 2017

This book explores the tensions between cultural memory of the African American Freedom Struggle and representations of African American identity staged in five plays between 1959 and 1969 during the civil rights era. Through close readings of the plays, their popular and African American print media reviews, and the cultural context in which they were produced, the book shows how these representations complicate narrow ideas of blackness, which often limit the freedom struggle era to Martin Luther King's nonviolent protest and cast Malcolm X's black nationalism as undermining the Civil Rights Movement's advances. These five plays strategically revise the rhetoric, representations, ideologies, and iconography of the African American freedom struggle, subverting its dominant narrative. This revision critiques racial uplift ideology's tenets of civic and moral virtue as a condition of African American full citizenship. The dramas also reimagine the Black Arts Movement's restrictive notions of black authenticity as a condition of racial identity, and their staged representations construct a counter-narrative to cultural memory of the freedom struggle during that very era. In their use of a “postblack ethos” to enact African American subjectivity, the plays envision black identity beyond the quest for freedom, anticipating what blackness might look like when it moves beyond the struggle. Finally, the book discusses recent revivals, showing how these 1960s plays shape dimensions of modern drama well beyond the decade of their creation.
“One for Whom Bread—Food—Is Not Enough”: Beneatha Younger, Uplift Ideology, and Intellectual Freedom
Authors: Davis Carol Bunch
Published: May 2017

This chapter offers a reading of Lorraine Hansberry's 1959 play A Raisin in the Sun, arguing that it foregrounds the necessity for racial uplift ideology in the Younger family's pursuit of the American Dream, culminating in the occupancy of their new home in the all-white enclave of Clybourne Park. Hansberry also sketches the postblack ethos in her representation of Beneatha Younger, the younger sister of the play's protagonist, Walter Lee Younger, and her allusion to intraracial debates about the false opposition between intellectual and corporeal freedom. In her interrogation of racial uplift ideology and the patriarchy that often underwrites it, Beneatha offers an alternative mode of self-representation built upon the pursuit of intellectual freedom. The chapter highlights the issue at the core of Hansberry's representation: race-based oppression and how it impacts concerns of equal housing access, economic enfranchisement, and African American identity politics.
Broadcasting the Stigmatized Self: Positioning Functions of YouTube Vlogs on Bipolar Disorder1
Authors: Holtgrave Darcy
Published: May 2017

YouTube, the free Internet video-sharing platform, is home to an active community of people who performatively share personal experience narratives about mental illness. Many individuals in this group heed YouTube’s early call to “Broadcast Yourself” in order to publicly “put a face” to mental illness, particularly in the form of vlogs that document and share their experience. In chapter 8, “Broadcasting the Stigmatized Self: Positioning Functions of YouTube Vlogs on Bipolar Disorder,” Darcy Holtgrave engages this phenomenon through a selection of vloggers who discuss bipolar disorder and the folk groups surrounding them. The parameters of YouTube inherently define and influence users’ exchanges, which are mediated by digital devices and take the form of videos, video responses, text responses, the prefabricated categories of likes and views, and/or interaction with other forms of social media. Using narrative theory, Holtgrave analyzes the strategies that speakers use to negotiate their place in relation to their audience as well as their mental illness.
Introduction

Abstract and Keywords to be supplied.
Octavia Butler’s Vampiric Vision
Authors: Robinson Timothy M.
Published: May 2017

Octavia Butler’s Fledgling (2005) chronicles the story of Shori Matthews, a 53-year-old vampire who looks like a 10-year-old black girl. Shori awakens with amnesia and physical scarring as a result of an attack from unknown assailants. While healing, she is hunted by clandestine factions of white-skinned vampires called the Ina. Shori later discovers that she is a product of amalgamated Ina and human blood. This chapter argues that Shori is a tragic mulatto figure in the vein of characters in novels like Iola Leroy, Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl,Our Nig, and Clotelle but written in the genre of science fiction and fantasy. The novel seems especially concerned with effects of familial and cultural devastation, trauma, miscegenation and xenophobia. While these are primary concerns of the slave narrative, these elements are also reflective of oppressive forces in modern societies that continue to play out master-slave relationships, often in concealed ways.
Vampiros Mexicanos
Authors: Borgia Danielle
Published: May 2017

This chapter contrasts best-selling and critically acclaimed twenty-first century Mexican novels about vampires, exploring their conflicting messages about gender and sexuality and comparing this continuum to the history of vampire literature in English and its contemporary influences, such as the Twilight series. It argues that the recent surge of vampire novels in Mexico stems from contemporary struggles to redefine gender and sexuality in the wake of the country’s legalization of abortion in the capital, its LGBT movement, and the strong mandates of the Catholic Church and state governments. The examples of Vampyr (2009) by Carolina Andújar, Amantes de Sangre (2009) by Ramón Obón and La sed (2001) by Adriana DíazEnciso illustrate both the dominant conservative discourses on sexuality and the more recent acceptance of previously marginalized behaviors and identities.
Hybridity Sucks
Authors: Mueller Monika
Published: May 2017

This chapter argues that in his 1929 novel The White Witch of Rosehall Herbert G. de Lisser relies on Haitian voodoo combined with European vampirism to present the murderous “white witch” Annie Palmer—who is based on a historical figure—as an emblem of gender transgression and abuse of power. In addition to imbuing her with extraordinary, supernatural female power, de Lisser casts Annie Palmer as a European-Jamaican Creole. She is bolstered in her evil machinations both by the social status bestowed upon her by her white heritage and her acquired knowledge of African Caribbean culture. Thus, she also becomes a larger symbol of the colonial presence in the Caribbean. In the context of the period the novel was written in, Annie Palmer’s fusion of cultural traditions results in an evil hybridity that she cleverly uses to her own murderous advantage.
Revamping Dracula on the Mexican Silver Screen
Authors: Serrano Carmen
Published: May 2017

This chapter explores Mexican vampire movies of the 1950s and follows the vampire’s journey from the Americas to Europe and back in order to analyze the ways in which the monster is articulated in each cultural context. The specific Mexican articulation of the vampire in Fernando Méndez’sEl vampiro is modeled after Hollywood films, yet the film carries nuanced meaning having to do with national identity and borders. In this film, the vampire is a menacing figure that arrives seeking to infect, invade, and conquer. At the same time, he is potentially a subversive other that transgresses borders and threatens stability, an agent that expresses certain cultural fears at very specific social and political crossroads.
Disruptive Corpses
Authors: Hand Richard J.
Published: May 2017

Before the establishment of the Code of the Comics Magazine Association of America (1954), American horror comics were violent and explicit. In the vast body of pre-Code horror comics, the living dead are used in various ways. Some stories are authentic to the Haitian origins of zombie folklore, some use distinctly historical or gothic settings for tales of the living dead, while the zombies in other stories crawl from the grave into a contemporary USA to exact their revenge or retribution. This chapter analyses the presentation of the living dead in 1950s horror comics before exploring subsequent and more recent comic achievements in underground, countercultural and mainstream contexts in an attempt to establish and evaluate the mythology, meaning and resonance of this most disruptive construct of post-war and contemporary popular horror.
Coal, Charcoal, and Chocolate Comedy: The Satire of John Killens and Mat Johnson
Authors: Norris Keenan
Published: May 2017

This chapter compares two depictions of Harlem, John Killen’s The Cotillion and Mat Johnson’s Hunting in Harlem. The latter novel criticizes the Afrocentric Ideology embraced by the former. Although both novels employ satire as a means of social critique, their comparison demonstrates the change in attitude and ideology of the Post-Soul generation from that embodied by the Civil Rights generation.
The Upheaval: Interposition and Moderation
Authors: Day John Kyle
Published: May 2017

This chapter narrates the dramatic socioeconomic changes occurring in the former states of the Confederacy after World War II. The changes culminated with the Supreme Court decision Brown v. Board of Education (1954), which declared public school segregation unconstitutional, as well as the early events in the American Civil Rights Movement, including the Emmitt Till Lynching and the Montgomery Bus Boycott. The chapter then analyses the response of white southerners to these transformative events. The white South’s response channelled into two recognized programs. Southern leaders either outright refused to implement Brown, which became known as Interposition or, called for a gradual or piecemeal implementation, which became known as moderation.
The Racial Politics of the 1956 Elections
Authors: Day John Kyle
Published: May 2017

This chapter discusses how the emerging Civil Rights Movement and the controversy over Brown’s implementation played out in American partisan politics. Specifically, the United States Senate’s Southern Caucus, under the leadership of Senator Richard Brevard Russell, Jr., led a concerted regional program to subvert Brown. In turn, President Dwight D. Eisenhower’s response to the controversy over Brown and the Autherine Lucy riots proved to be the driving force of American politics in the 1956 national elections, determining Ike’s own decision to seek reëlection/. The Civil Rights Movement also set the course for the Democratic Presidential Primaries in that election year, almost becoming definitive issue in American politics.
The Declaration of Constitutional Principles
Authors: Day John Kyle
Published: May 2017

This chapter treats the Southern Manifesto as a document in and of itself. It employs a narrative analysis to show how and why the authors struggled to produce a document that satisfied all of the members of the Southern Congressional Delegation, but also their constituents. The final draft of the statement also satisfied the national Democratic Party, and the most of the American polity.
The Promulgation
Authors: Day John Kyle
Published: May 2017

Chapter Six narrates the Southern Congressional Delegation’s promulgation of the Declaration of Constitutional Principles, popularly known as the Southern Manifesto. Led by Sen. Walter George of Georgia and U.S. Rep. Howard Smith of Virginia, the Southern Manifesto produced a widespread national reaction the permeated every aspect of the American political discourse. From both national political parties, the media, and civil rights leaders themselves, this chapter assesses the national response, and its consequences for the legal fight for civil rights in the Hall of Congress, the President’s enforcement of Brown, and the struggle for eual citizenship for all Americans.
What the Ladies Were Saying
Authors: Pfeffer Miki
Published: May 2017

This chapter describes the reactions to the selection of Julia Ward Howe as president of the Woman's Department of the World's Industrial and Cotton Centennial Exposition in 1884. Southern women were ready to showcase their skills and talents during the six months of the Cotton Centennial in New Orleans. However, they were unhappy with the decision of southern men to select a northern woman as president of the Woman's Department. By choosing Howe, the Board of Management insulted and confounded local women. The choice compelled them to suppress their sectional allegiance in order to be the welcoming ladies they were expected to be. It assigned them roles of help-maidens rather than leaders. Despite obvious umbrage, however, they extended gracious hospitality to Howe during her six-month stay in New Orleans.
The Principals
Authors: Pfeffer Miki
Published: May 2017

This chapter presents profiles of some of the women who played key roles during the Cotton Centennial Exposition. Among them was Julia Ward Howe (1819–1910), who was sixty-five and a well-known activist of women's causes by the time she came to New Orleans in 1884. She was neither the first nor the only nineteenth-century woman to escape domesticity by becoming a zealous clubwoman, but she had polished the role to a fine art. Another was Martha Reinhard Smallwood Field (1855–1898), who wrote for the Picayune using the pen name Catharine Cole. Her skills were on display during the World's Exposition as she covered all things of interest to women.
An Immense Responsibility
Authors: Pfeffer Miki
Published: May 2017

This chapter first describes how impoverished women in New Orleans and elsewhere looked to the Cotton Centennial Exposition as a potential employer. Many of these women carried the “immense responsibility” of helping support their families. However, most were disappointed when they did not land a job. The Exposition expected to hire approximately fifty clerks at fifty dollars a month, a handsome salary, but the weekly tabloid Mascot contended that positions were going to friends of the heads of departments rather than to those who needed work and had the right skills. The remainder of the chapter describes Julia Ward Howe's tendency to rankle.
Work, the New Gospel of Womanhood
Authors: Pfeffer Miki
Published: May 2017

This chapter describes how Julia Ward Howe became a dedicated soldier for the good of the Woman's Department and the entire Exposition. Almost immediately, while women busily arranged exhibits, Howe began to give speeches as their representative at special events all over the fairgrounds. She was also a willing and popular lecturer around town. She made numerous extemporaneous and formal comments during her stay and raised money for several local charities. Her favorite subject was the work of her beloved New England Woman's Club, where she had first found the comradeship of women. It was a topic women wanted to hear, and Howe drew large audiences. Howe also began to preach that work was “the new gospel of womanhood,” and she employed the lexicon of motherhood to persuade women that they need not usurp men's role or reject gender responsibilities when they shifted from a domestic domain to a professional, industrial, or scholastic one.
Opening at Last
Authors: Pfeffer Miki
Published: May 2017

This chapter details the opening day program of the Cotton Centennial Exposition on March 3, 1885. In his speech, Colonel Franklin C. Morehead, commissioner-general of the Exposition, said that when he first envisioned the Exposition from his cotton office in Vicksburg, he knew he wanted it to include a Woman's Department. He also declared himself a “Woman's Rights man.” Julia Ward Howe's speech sought to bring women together in mutual support as well as rebut critics who suggested there had been divisiveness among them. The final section of the chapter discusses how the official opening of the Woman's Department was a formality, a chance for Howe to ceremoniously transfer it to the Board of Management.
Final Battles
Authors: Pfeffer Miki
Published: May 2017

This chapter describes the continuing internal conflicts of the Woman's Department. Contrary to the official Resolution from Lady Commissioners in support of Julia Ward Howe in mid-April 1885, declarations of peace had been illusory. Some predicaments seemed unintentional; the blows came with the territory of leadership. Others seemed of Howe's own making. In any case, her vulnerabilities were beginning to show. Director-General E. A. Burke also quit his post, citing the demands of “duty in other quarters.” In addition, the women's money had not arrived from Congress in time to pay many Lady Commissioners' expenses back to their home states. And there would be a question about how the money was to be divided. It was beginning to look like the Woman's Department might end in furor, as it had begun.
Resisting Paradise
Authors: Nixon Angelique V.
Published: May 2017

Resisting Paradise asserts the importance of both tourism and diaspora in shaping Caribbean cultural and sexual identity. It examines Caribbean cultural producers who contend with the region’s overdependence on the tourist industry and address the many ways that tourism continues the legacy of colonialism. The book explores the relationship between culture and sex within the production of paradise and investigates the ways in which Caribbean writers, artists, activists, and other cultural producers respond to and powerfully resist this production. Forms of resistance include critiquing exploitation, challenging dominant narratives of history, exposing tourism’s influence on cultural and sexual identity in the Caribbean and its diaspora, and offering alternative models of tourism and travel. Resisting Paradise offers an intriguing emphasis on Caribbean and Caribbean diaspora subjects as travelers and as cultural workers contributing to alternative and resistant understandings of tourism in the Caribbean. Through a unique multi-disciplinary approach to comparative literary analysis, interview material, and participant observation, Angelique V. Nixon analyzes the ways Caribbean cultural producers are taking control of representation and sustaining subjectivity. While focused mainly on the Anglophone Caribbean, the study covers a range of geographical territories including Antigua, The Bahamas, Grenada, Haiti, Jamaica, and Trinidad and Tobago. Overall, the book utilizes a transnational feminist postcolonial framework in order to theorize “resisting paradise” and the sexual-cultural politics of tourism. This research posits an intervention within tourism and diaspora studies by making gender and sexuality the center of inquiry and analysis.
Living and Imagining in Paradise: The Culture of a Tourist Economy
Authors: Nixon Angelique V.
Published: May 2017

After establishing the neocolonial relations of tourism and the various forms of resistance alternative models as represented in Caribbean literature, chapter four offers a case study of a tourist economy by analyzing the production of culture and tourism in the Bahamas (one of the most tourism-dependent countries in the region). It engages how Caribbean writers and cultural workers in local spaces work to resist the power of tourism and myth of paradise. This chapter combines an analysis of selected literary works by Marion Bethel and artistic works by Dionne Benjamin-Smith, the national festival Junkanoo, interviews conducted with workers in tourism and culture. Bahamian artists and cultural workers, including workers in the tourist and culture industries and artists, acknowledge the powerful role of tourism in shaping identity and national culture, but they have different strategies of negotiating tourism depending on their relationship to the tourist industry.

Keterbatasan fisik alam yang berbukit dan rawan bencana longsor membuat konversi lahan di areaberkembang Kecamatan Gunungpati menjadi perihal yang penting untuk ditinjau pengaruhnyaterhadap kondisi lingkungan. Padahal fungsi dari Kecamatan Gunungpati itu sendiri adalah sebagaikawasan konservasi dan daerah resapan air. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mengkaji bagaimanapengaruh perubahan guna lahan atau konversi lahan tersebut terhadap kondisi lingkungan (lahan, air,dan udara) di sana. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian, area berkembang Kecamatan Gunungpati mengalamikonversi lahan menjadi lahan terbangun sebesar 28,02 Ha, atau bertambah 39,5% dalam 11 tahunterakhir. Pengaruhnya terhadap lahan yaitu terjadinya longsor di permukiman warga. Berdasarkanhasil overlay peta kesesuaian lahan dengan lahan terbangun, sekitar 129 ha (24%) lahan permukimanberada di kawasan penyangga. Konversi lahan tersebut juga berpengaruh pada berkurangnya daerahresapan air yang berakibat pada berkurangnya debit air bawah tanah, yaitu dari 36 warga yangmemiliki sumur, 22 warga mengatakan bahwa permukaan air sumur mereka mengalami penurunan.Selain itu, berkurangnya daerah resapan air berarti juga terjadi peningkatan debit air permukaan. Danperkiraan kenaikan air larian sebesar 37,5% dari 186.273,48 m3/hari-hujan. Oleh karena itu,pembangunan nantinya harus mengutamakan aspek kesesuaian lahan dan daya dukung lingkunganuntuk keberlanjutan lingkungan binaan maupun lingkungan alam.Kata kunci: perkembangan pembangunan, konversi lahan, pengaruh terhadap lingkungan

Published: May 2017

Konversi lahan pertanian berdampak permanen dalam artian lahan yang terkonversi cenderung sulituntuk menjadi lahan basah kembali. Konversi juga memiliki pola berantai yaitu alih fungsi lahan akanselalu diikuti dengan berkembangannya infrastruktur setempat sehingga lahan-lahan disekitarnyamenikmati keuntungan akses yang dengan sendirinya meningkatkan nilai dan harga lahan. Dalamupaya mengontrol tingkat konversi lahan pertanian, banyak aturan dan regulasi telah dikeluarkanPemerintah Republik Indonesia, termasuk yang terbaru UU No 41 Tahun 2009 tentang PerlindunganLahan Pertanian Pangan Berkelanjutan. Penelitian ini mengkaji relevansi regulasi ini terhadap dinamikapembangunan perkotaan serta menganalisa pengaruh pendekatan insentif terhadap keinginan petanimempertahankan lahan. Hasil analisa menunjukkan bahwa, model insentif yang dimandatkan dalamUndang-Undang no 41 Tahun 2009 bukanlah sebuah gagasan baru khususnya dalam menjawabdinamika pembangunan perkotaan. Kebijakan insentif ini sangat bergantung pada anggaranpemerintah daerah yang mana hal ini berpengaruh pada distribusi insentif yang tidak merata. Lebihjauh, skema insentif ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan produktivitas yang mana dalam konteksKabupaten Badung, nilainya cenderung menurun sebagai akibat dari fragmentasi lahan oleh systempewarisan. Hasil analisa regresi menunjukkan bahwa kontribusi lahan bagi ekonomi keluarga, sertatingkat kepuasan terhadap skema insentif tidak berpengaruh pada keputusan mempertahankan lahan,dimana keputusan ini secara umum dipengaruhi oleh faktor harga lahan.Kata kunci: konversi lahan pertanian, kebijakan publik, insentif
