Abstract

The shariatization of customs and regional regulations on women form an interdependence between morality, sexuality, and the nation. Currently, there are at least fifteen Shari’a regulations in West Sumatra that target women's bodies and expressions. This study employs a reflective approach, drawing from personal experience in the Minangkabau context, and critically examines the concept of sumbang duo baleh—a set of twelve female characteristics deemed inappropriate according to custom. Aiming to trace the roots of these regional regulations or Shari’a policies in West Sumatra, especially those regulating women's activity and expression, the analysis focuses on three key issues: First, custom-discursiveness and shariatization of the body and morals of Minang women nowadays. Second, the portrait of women in the sumbang duo baleh, critical factors, and how women’s characters are projected into custom ideals. Third, moral construction through the gaze mechanism and its implementation in the Shari’a regulations. This systematic analysis reveals underlying gender injustice in the way individuals are positioned within the framework of sumbang duo baleh.__________The original draft of this article has been presented at the 23rd Annual International Conference on Islamic Studies (AICIS), February 1-4, 2024 at Universitas Islam Negeri Walisongo Semarang, Indonesia.

Abstract

Ismail Fajrie Alatas. 2021.  What Is Religious Authority? Cultivating Islamic Communities in Indonesia. Princeton & Oxford: Princeton University Press.This book discusses the authority of the source of knowledge of the saints in the archipelago. The stories and cases in this book show how the diversity and uniqueness of the previous saints crossed and merged into the complex culture of the archipelago while opening up new channels for transmitting the teachings of the Prophet. The main argument is the ethnographic and anthropological proof of how hard work of translation, mobilization, collaboration, and political competition are the key elements that shape the strength and diversity of the understanding of Islam in Indonesia. There is a close connection between the prophetic past and every life’s cultural particularity, which transcends regional boundaries. Thus, instead of reinforcing the view that Islam is a “finished religion” and monolithic, this finding shows us that Islam is a “religion that has always become” and pluralistic.

Abstract

The ecofeminism movement in Indonesia is generally territorial and intersectional but tends to be secular. This study shows the emergence of ecofeminism ideas integrated with Islamic values in the form of pesantren. Unlike other ecofeminisms—which were generally born as a response to women and environmental issues an sich, pesantren ecofeminism was an effort to rise from the mental-class and economic-class trauma of peasant society. I used a subsistence perspective, which led me to the Pesantren Ekologi Ath-Thaariq in Garut, West Java, Indonesia. I combined Harvard and Longwe frameworks to analyze pesantren’s activity, access, control, and equivalence level. This article contains the pesantren ecofeminism concept in viewing the environment through faith, local wisdom, and piety. This study further examines the ability of pesantren to break unequal power relations between humans and between humans and non-humans, instead of continuing the patriarchal tradition and its kiai-centric system.
