Still yet solid discourse ethics and philosophical approaches
in the development of science communication today makes communication studies increasingly worried about outbreaks of "epidemic" of dehumanization in the development of communication media. Who dared to give a solution?
Since the era of ancient Greek rhetoric to communication era of micro-electromagnetic-based technologies, the growth of scholarly communication continues to invite the awe and admiration. Ti kiwari ka marine tug, the community continues to be pampered various achievements in the realm of communication technology advances. But then, modern communication technologies have received a strong reaction from many people that gave rise to neo-colonialism discourse analysis of the media industry which is considered the phenomenon of media practice leads to dehumanization.
In a number of studies on the sociology of media, for example, how the practice of mass communication through "the magic box" (miracle box) benama Television is very influential on the quality of human degradation. Impressions of sadism, sex, excessive mystical program, as well as commercials and soap operas are not formulated in such a way to educate a kind of opium for the people. Of course, snarled "kill your TV" poet Afrizal Malna not necessarily make a "century of television" in Indonesia that has been present in the form of a gigantic fan of the sudden loss.
Television remains a prima donna, but at the same time behind the political-media business continues to bring sophisticated impressions-impressions without consideration of good and bad for society. The phenomenon has been described how the media industry is so ambitious to serve the market advertisers, regardless of the prophetic message humanization values, liberation and transcendence that held true for the development of media taguh media industry is more positive and ethical manner.
In this context, Iswandi Syahputra, a former media practitioner-reflection process and the experience and trying to put forward new ideas about the concept and humanize the approach of human communication (humanization), release (liberation) and is always oriented to God (transcendence). This is a new study about communication prophetic, prophetic communication is important to give the portion of the value and ethics. In this case, the prophetic is a sociological awareness of the prophets in history to uplift humanity and bring people to faith in God.
Prophetic communications proposed in this book is indeed a new term in the realm of science communication. This term is the fruit of development of the concept of Social Sciences Prophetic (ISP) that never go out of ideas Kuntowijoyo, an Islamic scholar who also inspired by the spirit that carried Prophetic Reality Muhammad Iqbal and Roger Geraudy. By mentioning the prophetic sciences (as well as prophetic communication), we only get the substance, not form. Prophetic science found expression in the form of integrative science that unites the revelation of God and the human mind (Kuntowijoyo, 2005: 103).
In this case, prophetic communication filed in the new framework of Islamic practice of science communication that combines the study of science concept of communication that have been previously developed. This is arguably an attempt "shots" for the development of communication technology today, such a rule apply the principles of prophetic communication of science communication dynamic role in the arena of accelerated social change. Furthermore, it can put the user's communication, consumer and communications media so have "immunity" ethical considerations in a variety of communication practices.
In this book, also described the development of science communication in historical perspective by using various approaches, including the historical development of communication in Indonesia: the relationship between science, religion and the media; teoantroposentris as scientific understanding of the scientific method, and discuss critical theory in the context of the television industry; conceptualizationprophetic communications; public sphere and prophetic personal communication; and propaganda in the discourse.
The present book is expected to prove the essential contribution of Islamic perspectives in the development of science communication, and the extent of the practice of Islam through various prophetic provide solutions to the problems of development of the "moral" today's world of media communications. New ideas in this book should be welcomed, without forgetting to keep scrutinized, debated and even repeated. []
