Abstract

This study examines the rise of BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) and its impact on the global political economy through Hardt and Negri’s concept of “Empire.” BRICS has challenged Western dominance by leveraging economic globalization to build influential networks, reflecting trends of deterritorialization and decentralization. Key strategies include China’s push for internet sovereignty and Russia’s market realignment under Western sanctions. The recent expansion of BRICS to include Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE underscores its growing influence in reshaping global governance. However, the study also identifies elements of “Empire” within BRICS, such as the use of economic leverage and biopower to exert control. These findings reveal a complex interplay between power and resistance, where BRICS, while challenging Western hegemony, also replicates some control mechanisms. This research contributes to the theoretical discourse on globalization and provides practical insights into the evolving multipolar world order.

Abstract

This study explores the impact of tarekat (Sufi orders) on the religious culture of Nyatnyono Village, a rural community in Semarang Regency known for its rich Islamic traditions and emerging religious tourism. The village is home to several tarekat, including Qadiriyah wa Naqsyabandiyah (TQN), Naqsyabandiyah, Syattariyah, and Syadziliyah, all of which are intricately woven into the community's social and spiritual fabric. Insights gathered from interviews with local followers reveal that tarekat practices cultivate personal piety through spiritual guidance while fostering social solidarity and ethical behaviour. Under the mentorship of murshids (spiritual leaders), followers participate in dhikr, wirid, fasting, and communal gatherings, activities that facilitate spiritual development and strengthen communal relations. The findings indicate that tarekat practices play a vital role in shaping the cohesive religious culture of Nyatnyono Village, enhancing its resilience in times of crisis, such as during the COVID-19 pandemic. This research underscores the enduring significance of Sufism in Indonesia’s rural Muslim communities, particularly in its capacity to integrate religious tourism with spiritual and social unity.

Abstract

Focusing on the works of Tulus, Hindia, and Kunto Aji, this study explores how themes of anxiety, healing, and self-reflection are articulated through the intertwined logics of late capitalism and metamodern sensibility. Employing perspectives from affect theory, gender studies, and political economy, the analysis reveals that these emotional narratives, while intimate and seemingly subversive, often reproduce neoliberal norms by transforming vulnerability into a consumable aesthetic. The emergence of “affective masculinity” complicates dominant gender expectations by embracing softness and introspection, yet it remains entangled in capitalist modes of emotional labor. Ultimately, Indonesian pop music becomes a site where sincerity and commodification, rebellion and resignation, continuously oscillate. This article argues for deeper critical engagement with how affective expression in youth culture both reflects and regulates emotional life under capitalism.
