Abstract

The Bulusan Tradition in Hadipolo Village, Jekulo Subdistrict, Kudus Regency is a local cultural heritage that remains preserved and is rich in religious, social, customary, and moral values. This study is important to examine the values contained in the Bulusan Tradition and its relevance to Islamic Guidance from the perspective of Islamic Guidance and Counseling studies. The research hypothesis is that the Bulusan Tradition aligns with the principles of iman (faith), Islam (practice), and ihsan (excellence), making it relevant as a media for culturally- based Islamic guidance. The study employed a qualitative approach using ethnographic methods through participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. Data analysis was conducted descriptively-interpretatively using Koentjaraningrat’s cultural theory and Anwar Sutoyo’s Islamic Guidance concept. The results show that the values of the Bulusan Tradition are internalized in seven elements of culture and support the strengthening of faith, social care, and moral development. These findings highlight the importance of the Bulusan Tradition as a medium for cultural da’wah and non-formal Islamic guidance that is contextual and sustainable.

Abstract

Amid the growing production of religious horror films, questions arise regarding the availability of this form of popular culture as a medium of da'wah (Islamic preaching). Previous studies suggest that such films convey Islamic messages; however, other research indicates a process of desacralization of Islamic values. Between these perspectives, two questions emerge: (1) how do Generation Z audiences, particularly university students, interpret the symbols presented in these films? and (2) how does ideology, operating through educational apparatuses as proposed by Louis Althusser, influence this reception process? This study employs a qualitative descriptive approach using reception analysis, drawing on Stuart Hall's encoding/decoding model and Althusser's theory of Ideological State Apparatuses. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with 14 informants from two educational backgrounds: formal religious education and general education. The data were categorized into three reception positions: dominant-hegemonic, negotiated, and oppositional. The findings reveal that religious horror films do not function universally as a medium of da'wah; rather, their meanings vary depending on the ideological frameworks shaping the audience. Students from religious education backgrounds tend to interpret the films within moral and theological frameworks, while those from general education backgrounds approach them from rational, cultural, and aesthetic perspectives. These findings demonstrate that the meanings of religious symbols and values are actively constructed through the interaction between media texts, ideological formation, and lived experience. In the context of Indonesia’s plural society, religious horror films function as cultural arenas where competing understandings of piety, morality, and religious authority are continuously negotiated and reinterpreted by young audiences.
