Abstract

This study analyzes the construction of the “white skin” beauty standard in Indonesia through a postcolonial perspective and examines the pastoral opportunities of the Catholic Church as a driving force in the discourse. This beauty standard is understood as a form of symbolic domination rooted in the legacy of colonialism, issues of race and gender, and socio-economic-capitalistic interests that are reproduced through the media and the cosmetics industry. The research uses a literature study method utilizing books and scientific journals. This method is enriched with structured interviews with young Catholics to explore critical awareness and the potential for transformative action. The interview process began with the preparation of questions, the search for respondents, the interviews themselves, and the recording of the interview results. The results of this study indicate that a single beauty narrative causes discrimination, feelings of inferiority, and lack of self-confidence in dark-skinned women, so that discursive criticism of the hegemony of colonial beauty standards is very necessary through critical education, strengthening local cultural identities, and developing diverse beauty standards. In this context, the Catholic Church, through its theology of inculturation and pastoral accompaniment, has a strategic role to play in promoting respect for diversity, human dignity, and social justice. Thus, the Church can function as a prophetic agent that dismantles the hegemony of colonial beauty standards and affirms the pluralistic and dignified identity of Indonesian women.

Abstract

Artikel ini menelaah transformasi simbolik dan teologis dalam ritus Menre Bola Baru pada masyarakat Bugis, Sulawesi Selatan. Tradisi ini memadukan tiga lapisan peradaban: unsur prasejarah berupa cap tangan di Leang-Leang, warisan pra-Islam yang meliputi kosmologi I La Galigo dan kepercayaan kepada Dewata SuwaE, serta ekspresi religius Islam yang masuk sejak abad ke-17. Penelitian ini menggunakan kerangka teori Harry J. Benda tentang kontinuitas dan diskontinuitas pengaruh Islam terhadap budaya di Nusantara, yang membedakan antara kontinuitas struktural dan diskontinuitas ideologis dalam proses Islamisasi. Pendekatan hermeneutik diterapkan untuk membaca simbol-simbol ritus serta dinamika reinterpretasinya lintas zaman. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa simbol-simbol budaya Bugis dalam upacara Menre Bola Baru, yang meliputi rumah panggung, cap tangan, narasi sakral, dan peran sanro bola, mengalami kesinambungan kultural sekaligus pergeseran makna teologis yang fundamental. Cap tangan tersebut merupakan warisan prasejarah dan dibaca sebagai akar simbolik yang diwariskan dan diartikulasikan dalam prosesi ritus rumah panggung. Perubahan terjadi dari sakralitas kosmos-leluhur menuju sakralitas transenden dalam Islam. Islamisasi tidak menghapus simbol budaya Bugis, melainkan menafsirkannya ulang sehingga menghasilkan identitas religius yang berakar pada budaya lokal sekaligus terbuka terhadap ajaran Islam.
