Abstract

This study examines the representation of religious minorities in Indonesian public discourse using a critical hermeneutics approach integrated with critical discourse analysis. The scope of this study includes mass media discourse, public officials’ statements, policy documents, and popular religious discourses circulating in the public sphere. The objective of this study is to reveal patterns of representation of religious minorities, identify the ideologies and power relations underlying these representations, and explain their social implications for the position of religious minorities. This study employs a qualitative method with a critical-interpretative design, in which data are collected through documentary analysis and examined textually, contextually, and ideologically through hermeneutic reflection. The findings indicate that religious minorities are predominantly represented as social threats, deviations from majority norms, objects of state regulation, and passive subjects with limited discursive space. These representations function as symbolic mechanisms that reproduce majority dominance and structural injustice. The study concludes that critical hermeneutics is an effective approach for uncovering the relationship between meaning, ideology, and power in Indonesia’s religious public discourse.

Abstract

Islamophobia has emerged as a global issue shaping public perceptions of Muslim communities through knowledge construction and narrative dominance. This study aims to analyze how Islamophobia is produced as a global narrative through mechanisms of religious knowledge and its epistemological implications. The research employs a qualitative approach with a critical case study design, involving 12–15 informants, including academics, media practitioners, and community leaders. It utilizes in-depth interviews, media and document observation, and archival documentation. Findings indicate that Islamophobia is constructed through selective information, epistemic bias, and the politicization of knowledge; global media emphasizes conflict and extremism, while political and ideological interests influence religious epistemology. The study’s novelty lies in applying a philosophy-of-science perspective to examine knowledge production. Practical implications include the need for media literacy, critical education, and intervention strategies to reduce negative stereotypes and strengthen interfaith dialogue.
