Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze how the phenomenon of Pop Sufism on Instagram represents the process of commodification of religion while simultaneously forming a new construction of religious lifestyle through visual, symbolic, and narrative strategies in the digital space. This study uses a netnography method to observe the culture and behavior of Instagram users in representing Sufism through digital content, with the researcher positioned as an observer as a participant. The research object focused on two accounts, @arahbatin and @alfilosufiyah_institute, with data in the form of posts, captions, and user interactions analyzed using the theory of commodification and Islamic Lifestyle. The analysis aims to understand the paradox of pop Sufism which simultaneously opens access to Islamic spirituality and shows the process of commodification of religion in modern digital culture. This study found that pop Sufism on Instagram is the result of the transformation of culture, media, and religion in the digital era, which changes Sufism teachings from deep spiritual practices to popular knowledge in the form of quotes and aesthetic visuals. This phenomenon demonstrates the process of commodification of religion, where spiritual values ​​shift into social exchange values ​​through likes, shares, and online religious images. The two accounts, @alfilosufiyah_institute and @arahbatin, represent two faces of pop Sufism one cosmopolitan and universal, the other contextual and everyday as expressions of a modern religious lifestyle.

Abstract

Crop raiding by monkeys is one of the problems faced by corn farmers in Dusun Ngudal, Pagerukir, where agricultural land is located near forest and hilly areas. Local farmers have developed an adaptive strategy by utilizing guard dogs as part of the field-protection system. This study aims to describe the pattern of monkey attacks and analyze the use of local wisdom through guard-dog management in controlling crop raiding. This study used qualitative field research with a descriptive approach. Data were collected through interviews, observation, and documentation involving corn farmers, and were analyzed inductively using the perspectives of local wisdom and traditional ecological knowledge. The findings show that monkeys can attack at uncertain times and tend to target corn more frequently than other crops. Farmers keep dogs near the fields because barking and chasing responses can alert farmers and deter monkeys from approaching. Existing evidence also indicates that barking dogs and the presence of dogs can function as non-lethal deterrents to crop-raiding primates, although their effectiveness may decline when monkeys become accustomed to them. Therefore, guard dogs are most appropriately understood as part of a combined strategy with direct human vigilance rather than as a stand-alone solution.
