Abstract

This study explores the representation of religious identity in the public sphere to express religious beliefs and strengthen social cohesion through interfaith interactions. Drawing on Erving Goffman’s dramaturgical theory, this study examines how religious identity is performed to foster social harmony. Using a descriptive qualitative and phenomenological design, the research was based on observations, in-depth interviews with religious and community leaders, and document analysis. The findings indicate that religious groups use the front stage to promote tolerance through interfaith rituals, community service, and symbols of peace. At the same time, the backstage enables religious leaders as mediators of tolerance. These performances are shaped by social scripts grounded in tolerance narratives and local cultural values. Impression management strategies include inclusive language, interfaith symbols, and adaptive behavior to create a positive public image. Audience responses vary, reflecting appreciation for harmony-building efforts and criticism of representations viewed as symbolic or insufficiently inclusive.   Keywords: Dramaturgy; Religious Tolerance; Urban Society; Public Sphere

Abstract

The tafsir (Qur’anic commentary) is one of the essential tools for explaining and deepening the understanding of the teachings of the Qur’an within the community. Besides serving as a religious instrument, tafsir often reflects cultural richness by integrating Islamic aspects with local cultural values. This study aims to explore how the cultural identity of the Sundanese people is reflected in the Tafsir Raudhatul Irfan fi Ma’rifatil Qur’an, written by K.H. Ahmad Sanusi from Sukabumi. The research method used is descriptive-analytical with a qualitative approach. The findings of this study indicate that the cultural identity in the Tafsir Raudhatul Irfan is evident in several aspects of local wisdom, particularly in the field of language. The Sundanese language used in this tafsir is the daily language of the mufassir (commentator). Thus, the writing of this tafsir was primarily intended for the students in Islamic boarding schools and the Sundanese community who understand the language rather than for a broader audience. Furthermore, the cultural identity is also reflected in the writing system, where the mufassir utilizes the Pegon script to convey his tafsir. The Pegon script, which is a writing system that uses Arabic characters for the Sundanese, Javanese, and Madurese languages, is employed in this tafsir as a means to preserve and maintain local literary traditions while still conveying Islamic teachings.

Abstract

Religious and ethnic diversity in multicultural urban contexts often produces complex social dynamics, particularly in the formation of social stratification. This study examines these dynamics in Gang Luna Tolerance Village in Bandung City by explicitly applying Pierre Bourdieu’s theoretical framework—habitus, forms of capital, and social fields to analyse how religion and ethnicity structure everyday interactions and status hierarchies. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews with community leaders, residents from diverse religious and ethnic backgrounds, and local policymakers, as well as participant observation and document analysis. The findings reveal that religious habitus and the distribution of social and cultural capital play a significant role in shaping stratification patterns, while the arena of intergroup interaction in Tolerance Village encourages the negotiation of status positions. Although hierarchical differences exist, practices of religious tolerance embedded in community habitus strengthen harmonious relations and facilitate social mobility by expanding access to social capital. This study contributes to the sociology of religion by demonstrating how Bourdieu’s concepts explain the interplay between diversity and stratification in urban multicultural settings and offers insights for social policy development aimed at fostering inclusive, tolerant, and socially mobile communities in Indonesia.
