Abstract

The prevalence of urban spiritualism is on the rise among residents of major cities.One observable manifestation of urban spiritualism is the growing number ofdiverse social recitation gatherings. The present research looks into four distinctprofiles of assemblies that have emerged in the urban areas of Yogyakarta andSurakarta. The four assemblies comprise Muslim United and Teras Dakwah. InSurakarta, it is worth noting the presence of two prominent organisations, namelyMajelis Ar-Raudhah, established by Habib Novel Alaydrus, and Majelis BusytanulAsyiqin, founded by Habib Syech Assegaf. This study elucidates the techniquesemployed by the aforementioned four assemblies to disseminate moderatereligious knowledge within urban circles, as well as their respective reactions tothe evolving spiritual dynamics observed within urban communities. The presentstudy employs a qualitative methodology, specifically a field study approach. Thefindings of this study suggest a shift in the dominance of religious authority amongrenowned ustadz and habaib figures. By endorsing the dissemination of widelyrecognised da’wah conducted by these prominent individuals, it contributesto the enhancement of religious literacy among urban populations. The studyfindings also interpret the santrinisation and piety activities observed in urbancommunities as a tangible expression of the veracity of religious teachings.

Abstract

Coffee, as one of the world’s principal commodities, has long been connected with Western culture in the beverage industry. This study explores the reasons of the stated phenomenon, why it arose, the social significance and meanings of consuming coffee, and lastly, the influences of coffee culture on individuals' lifestyles through coffee consumption in Brunei. This study employed a qualitative technique, including interviews via an online conferencing platform Zoom, which involved 11 respondents aged 17-47 years-old occupying various professions such a manager, clerks, teachers, and officers as well as graduate students. This original article discovered that consumers consumed coffee leading to particular social meanings, including prestige and productivity, symbolism, personal recollections and nostalgia, and social features attributed to coffee consuming activities. Coffee was also consumed as a lifestyle habit and daily routine, as well as connoisseurship from establishing an acquired taste and social identity constructs. It is worth-noting that the shift in social meaning about coffee consumption in Brunei is dynamic, complexed, and obviously inseparable from one another. Our interview accounts also unfold that there is a sensuous juxtaposition within these socio-cultural elements of coffee emanating from subjective experiences of regularly consuming specific coffee brands in selected cafes, which also embody pivotal ambiences.
