Abstract

One of the key factors shaping the religious landscape in Indonesia is the strategic policies implemented by the New Order Government. This article examines how these policies influenced the geographic distribution of mosques and the subsequent religious dynamics in West Java. Additionally, it investigates the impact of government policies on the formation and development of religious organizations and Islamic communities across different regions, with a specific focus on West Java. This study employs a historical method by analyzing government archives, historical documents, and mosque establishment data. Spatial analysis is used to correlate mosque locations with centers of social, economic, and political activity. The findings indicate that the New Order government's mosque construction policy directly shaped the spatial distribution of mosques in West Java. The placement of mosques during the New Order era prioritized areas with concentrated Muslim population, aligning with the government's strategy to monitor religious organizations. By strategically placing mosques, which often serve as the center of life for Muslim communities, the New Order aimed to control Muslim activities. This article contributes to a deeper understanding of the complex interplay between state power, religion, and spatial politics in Indonesia.

Abstract

This article explores President Sukarno’s cultural politics in shaping the ideological framework, mobilizing tradition, and fostering national unity in the early Republic of Indonesia (1945–1965). Sukarno’s articulation of Pancasila went beyond a mere political manifesto by embedding the five principles in cultural performances, state-sponsored rituals, and heritage initiatives. Through major exhibitions, architectural projects, and mass media campaigns, Sukarno mobilized folklore, traditional arts, and popular culture to construct a shared national narrative. Furthermore, the Nasakom doctrine exemplifies his efforts to integrate nationalism, religion, and communism into a cohesive cultural narrative, reducing ideological divisions and formalizing pluralist discourses. Using qualitative research with discourse analysis of speeches, policy decrees, and contemporary media reports—and grounded in Gramscian cultural hegemony theory—this study unpacks the mechanisms of cultural governance under Sukarno. Findings suggest that these cultural strategies played a significant role in consolidating state authority, fostering a sense of collective identity, and leaving a lasting imprint on Indonesian civic culture beyond Sukarno’s presidency. This article contributes to scholarship on postcolonial nation-building by bridging political history and cultural studies, offering new insights into the performative dimensions of early Indonesian statehood.

Abstract

The Tolak Balak ritual is an important tradition performed by the Sabu tribe in East Nusa Tenggara to ask for protection and safety from evil spirits. This ritual has been going on for a long time and is an important part of the Jingitiu religious beliefs. However, the impact of modernization has caused some major difficulties. This article looks at how the Tolak Balak ritual is adapting to the rapidly evolving social, cultural, and technological changes in Sabu society. Although modernization and technological advances make it easy, they also affect the way this tradition is performed and how the younger generation perceives it. This study shows that Savunese people can maintain the essence and meaning of the Tolak Balak ritual by changing and updating its implementation even though the changing times are destroying it. In addition, the article links this tradition to broader conversations about the preservation of local cultural heritage amidst modernization and globalization. This article provides insight into the importance of the Tolak Balak tradition for the people of Savu and shows how local traditions can survive and thrive in the face of today's challenges.
