Abstract

Modernism believes that reason will eventually push over religion. Knowledge is considered capable to answer various mysteries that have enforced human to rely on religion. Modernism then is marked by the world that is more unified for the exchanging information stream and economical material. The transnational company and information technology play a pivotal role in shaping into global village. In this circumstance, religion deals with such unbelievable challenge. Religion which claims as the savior of human life is finally replaced by media. But, since 70s decade, a kind of new religious movement tries to challenge this modernization flow. This is what so called religious fundamentalism. This movement leans everything on the holy scripture as the only truth; therefore, it has exclusive and militant character. If modernism is suspected as the one that has thought out any kind of human crisis, then, does religion provide the solution? Although religion is expected to answer all crisis of modernity, its irrationality and exclusivism do not fit with modernism. Religion that is needed by modern society is religion that could be heard by modern ear and in the same time could affirm the affection to human being. Rationalism without love will drag people in a tragic humanism.

Abstract

This article is aimed to assess the progress of Islamic and religious studies at State Islamic University (UIN) Sunan Ampel Surabaya throughout the view of new paradigm on Islamic studies. It attempts to seek whether there is a shifting paradigm from parochial Islamic studies to dialogical Islamic studies that could accommodate contemporary social scientific instruments. It is based on one core question, “is the Islamic studies at UIN Sunan Ampel—especially the Department of Comparative Study of Religions—still based on normative-doctrinal studies or based on historical critics?” This paper took four undergraduate theses as a sample, starting from 2011 back to forty years before. Each thesis represents one-decade period. In order to analyze religious studies at the Department of Comparative Study of Religions will be a strategic stage to observe methodological perspective, namely insider-outsider perspective. Having examined all of these theses, this article concludes that Islamic religious studies at the Department of Comparative Study of Religions have not changed at all. It shows signs of stagnating after four decade of teaching religious studies in this department.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the reasons why violence and religious conflict occurred in Bojonegoro district do not lead to radical actions. Departing from the fundamental question, “why does violence and religious conflict not extend into radical actions even though the potential for religious radicalization exists and even explode into destructive social conflict?”, this study found that there are two main factors that make religious life among believers in Bojonegoro keep running in balance and harmonious way, namely cultural and structural factors. The most important cultural factor is the existence of cross-cutting affiliation where there are neutral social spaces that make people from different backgrounds meet without being troubled by their primordial identity. Meanwhile, structural factors that prevent radical action and religious conflict are the presence of the State as a neutral and decisive party; institutionalization of assurance of freedom of faith; and the activeness of the State in early prevention and conflict mediation. [ Studi ini bertujuan untuk melihat mengapa di wilayah Bojonegoro kekerasan dan konflik keagamaan nyaris tidak pernah meledak secara berarti. Berangkat dari pertanyaan mendasar, faktor-faktor apakah yang menyebabkan tidak terjadi proses radikalisasi keagamaan, sekalipun terdapat beberapa potensi konflik yang sebetulnya bisa meledak menjadi kekerasan atau konflik sosial yang destruktif, penelitian ini menemukan bahwa ada dua faktor penting yang mampu menjaga kehidupan keagamaan masyarakat Bojonegoro tetap seimbang, yaitu kultural dan struktural. Faktor kultural terpenting adalah bekerjanya cross-cutting affiliation. Terdapat ruang-ruang sosial netral yang mempertemukan orang-orang dari latar belakang berbeda, tanpa dibebani oleh identitas-identitas primordial. Sementara, faktor struktural yang mencegah radikalisasi dan konflik keagamaan adalah hadirnya negara sebagai pihak yang netral dan tegas; institusionalisasi jaminan kebebasan berkeyakinan; dan keaktifan negara dalam melakukan pencegahan dini dan memediasi konflik.]
