Abstract

This article aims to discuss genealogy as an analytical tool and methodological framework for understanding the history of exegesis. This article poses two research questions: What are the key perspectives and ideas of the genealogical tradition in the study of the history of interpretation exegesis, and how does the genealogical tradition reconstruct the study of the history of exegesis. The analysis is conducted using the deconstructionist approach proposed by Jacques Derrida. This article presents several findings: First, genealogy conceptualizes the historical study of exegesis through the continuity of exegetical forms (genres) and the analysis of the historical configuration of Islam shaped by ideological, theological, discursive, and scholarly conventions; Second, genealogy encompasses five key concepts: the reliance on primary sources of exegesis, the recontextualization and adaptation of exegesis, exegetical quotations, exegetical summaries, and interpretive affinities; Third, these core concepts can function as methodological reconstruction tools in the historical study of exegesis through four analytical instruments: archaeological analysis, philological analysis, historical criticism, and ideological criticism. Genealogy provides an approach to the historical study of exegesis by emphasizing an integrative analysis that connects exegetical works with activities beyond them, allowing for an objective understanding of exegesis’s existence and a careful examination of how it produces meaning.

Abstract

This study explores the shift of script and the endurance of the Minangkabau language in the Qur’anic exegesis tradition of Minangkabau scholars during the twentieth century as a historical and cultural phenomenon. The transition from Jawi to Latin script represents not only a technical change in writing but also an epistemological transformation from the exclusive surau tradition to the modern madrasa and print-based public sphere. The study aims to explain the process of this script shift, the persistence of Minangkabau linguistic elements in Latin-script tafsir, and its implications for reading traditions, interpretation, and religious authority. Employing a qualitative, descriptive-historical approach through library research, the analysis focuses on five primary tafsirs: al-Burh?n, al-Qaul al-Bay?n, al-Da?wah wa al-Irsy?d, Tafsir Qur’an Karim, and Tafsir al-Azhar. Findings reveal that the Jawi script symbolized the scholarly authority of traditional ulama, while the Latin script expanded public accessibility and transformed intellectual authority into a more inclusive form. Despite the shift in medium, Minangkabau diction and idioms persisted as local expressions of Qur’anic understanding, maintaining the continuity of Islamic values within a cultural framework. In conclusion, Minangkabau Qur’anic exegesis reflects a dialogue between tradition and modernity, emphasizing language and script as markers of Islamic intellectual identity in the Indonesian archipelago.
