Abstract

A structural transformation of the public sphere in contemporary Aceh is marked by the monopoly over religious interpretations by the state and ulema through the enactment of Islamic sharia. This article examines the performance of Aceh’s public sphere with reference to non-Muslim discourses in practising Islamic politics. The data were collected through observations, in-depth interviews, and literature study. Based on the concept of multiple public spheres, this paper argues that the government’s attempts to restrict the performance of public space based on Islamic values and identities is not only unsuccessful but also triggers a counter-public sphere to emerge. The counterpublic sphere has become an arena where its proponents promote their valuable ideas, negotiate identity, or being resistant to in realising aspirations. This study finds out that the visibility of public space is in layers and there may be no connections between one contingent and another, or they even contest. Although they may have similarities in being resistant to dominant narratives, the proponents of public space have many ways, perspectives, or strategies to share their ideas and increase their participation in the more prominent public space.

Abstract

Tulisan ini membahas pengalaman negosiasi identitas mahasiswi Kristen berjilbab pada universitas di Aceh. Tulisan berfokus menganalisa pembentukan ruang ketiga (third space) dan identitas hibrida (hybrid identity) dengan studi kasus empat mahasiswi Kristen pada dua universitas umum negeri di Aceh. Sumber data diperoleh melalui observasi dan wawancara semi terstruktur pada 2013 dan 2014. Melalui teknik penyajian life story, tulisan ini memperlihatkan ruang publik kampus menjadi arena kontestasi kuasa yang tidak seimbang antara Muslim dan mahasiswi Kristen selaku kelompok minoritas dalam reproduksi identitas. Implementasi syariat Islam di Aceh mendorong munculnya hybrid cultural identity pada mahasisiwi Kristen berjilbab. Identitas hibrida tersebut lahir dari hasil negosiasi rumit antara jatidiri sebagai mahasiswi, pemeluk agama Kristen, sekaligus warga Aceh seiring penerapan syariat Islam.

Unlike other Indonesian Christian in different parts of archipelago, the Christian women in Aceh are experiencing the life that regulated by the sharia. Based on the experience in Langsa, some of them (especially teachers, employee, and students) were appealed to wear headscarf (hijab) in their appearance in Islamic public sphere. Those who reside in Aceh Singkil experienced difficulties in establishing church, beyond any difficulties that experienced by Christians in other part of Indonesian region. However, in Southeast Aceh, the Christian live the life of religious harmony among the Muslim majority who implement the Islamic sharia.

This article aims to highlight some issues that experienced by Christians who live amid the Muslim majority who implement Islamic sharia. Data were collected during ethnographical studies conducted in the year 2013-2015 in Langsa, Aceh Singkil and Southeast Aceh. Finally, this article proposes significant policy options for managing Muslim-Christian relations in Aceh, Indonesia. Education is crucial for promoting interreligious harmony, religious freedom, and respect for people of different traditions and religion.

Abstract

Most studies discussing about interfaith marriage and religious conversion are ignoring woman's autonomy in selecting spouse as well as choosing religion. This paper examines the agency of women who converted due to marriage based on the experiences of four women in two areas in Aceh, the South East Aceh, and Aceh Singkil. Data was collected through observation and semi-structured interviews of four converted women, her husband, and her relatives. The phenomenon of religious conversion on the reason of marriage is placed in the feminist poststructuralist discourse, especially the concept of pious agency and critical piety agency. This paper challenges the view that says religious conversion on the reason of marriage will give the result to those who converted that religion to them is merely administrative matters and they lose their focus on building personal piety. Instead, this article argued the possibility of people who convert to other religion represent their religiosity after conversion as well as before conversion.

Abstract

This article deals with the search for the recognition and legality of customary marriages on believers of the Suku Asli Anak Rawa in Siak, Riau. The article argued that although the Constitutional Court ordered the writing of identity credentials on the residence documents of citizens of trust holders, it could not be realized because they did not have a trust organizations or holders of trusts. This resulted in a number of Suku Asli Anak Rawa convert to one of the state-recognized religions in order to obtain a document of identity. Ethnographic data was collected through in-depth interviews, semi-structured observations as well as document studies. First, the author explores the indigenous population of the Anak Rawa who still embrace their beliefs and compares them to citizens who have converted to one of the official religions. Second, the researchers explored patterns of strengthening the external social networks of Suku Asli Anak Rawa, both government agencies and relevant social organizations as part of identity strengthening and search for recognition over indigenous marriages. Third, the researchers explored the efforts made by the Suku Asli Rawa in filing a registered status application to have the legality of issuing a marriage certificate. In conclusion, this paper indicates that policy on religious minority groups cannot be implemented immediately because of the limited capacity of citizens to meet administrative demands and bureaucratic processes in government.

Abstract

Artikel ini membahas survey perilaku pemilih dalam politik elektoral Indonesia kontemporer. Tulisan berfokus pada dinamika diinternal Partai Golkar terkait pemberlakuan mekanisme survey opini publik dalam rekrutmen calon kepala daerah berdasarkan studi kasus di tiga kabupaten/kota di Riau, yakni Kota Dumai, Kabupaten Bengkalis dan Kabupaten Indragiri Hulu. Tulisan saya menganalisa respon elite dan kader partai di daerah terhadap kebijakan baru tersebut serta dinamika konflik yang ditimbulkannya. Selain itu, tulisan juga menganalisa faktor yang menyebabkan kemenangan dan kekalahan calon yang diusung Partai Golkar di Dumai, dan faktor kemenangan calon di Indragiri Hulu.  Sumber data berasal dari kombinasi data yang diperoleh melalui teknik kuantitatif maupun kualitatif. Hasil penelitian menemukan bahwa kebijakan pimpinan pusat Partai Golkar menerapkan survey sebagai pertimbangan dalam rekrutmen calon kepala daerah, secara institusional diterima dan dipahami pimpinan partai di Riau. Namun, kader di daerah yang memandang survey kurang menguntungkan bagi penerapan strategi pemenangan partai di daerah, ataupun menghambat kesempatan kader mencalonkan diri dengan menggunakan perahu Partai Golkar; sehingga merespon kebijakan tersebut secara kritis. Mekanisme rekrutmen terbuka yang memberi kesempatan setara antara kader internal partai dan calon dari luar partai dinilai kurang menghargai kontribusi kader internal di daerah yang selama ini sudah bekerja keras untuk membesarkan partai.

Abstract

Tulisan ini mempresentasikan etnografi razia penegakan syariat Islam di Langsa, Aceh. Studi berargumen bahwa razia syariat Islam merupakan salah satu bentuk perayaan kuasa agama oleh negara yang berkontribusi terhadap reproduksi intoleransi dan kekerasan dalam beragama. Data yang digunakan bersumber dari studi etnografis di Langsa pada semester kedua tahun 2012. Pertama-tama saya akan menyajikan tinjauan umum tentang Dinas Syariat Islam (DSI) dan Wilayatul Hisbah (WH) serta posisinya sebagai institusi yang memiliki otoritas tidak hanya untuk mendefinisikan moralitas publik, tetapi terkadang juga bertindak represif melalui razia syariat Islam di Aceh. Pemaparan menunjukkan represi tersebut melalui catatan etnografis tentang razia khalwat dan pakaian ketat di Langsa. Tulisan pada akhirnya memperlihatkan gosip sebagai salah satu bentuk resistensi kreatif terhadap represi yang dilakukan negara dan elite agama di Langsa dengan mengatas-namakan penegakan syariat Islam. This paper presents the ethnography of Sharia’ enforcement raids in Langsa, Aceh. It presents the argument that Sharia’ enforcement raids is one of religious power celebrations by the state that contribute towards intolerance reproduction and violence in religion. Ethnographic data were obtained from field reseach in Langsa in the second half of 2012. First of all, I presented an overview on the State Shari’a Agency (Dinas Syariat Islam) and the “Shari’a Police” (Wilayatul Hisbah) as well as their positions as institutions which had not only the authority in defining public morality, but also repressing Sharia’ enforcement raids in Aceh. Exposure of this study showed there was repression through ethnographic records about the roadside WH inspection on khalwat and dress code as the enforcement of Shari’a norms of public morality in Langsa. Finally, this paper highlighted that gossip was a form of creative resistance against repression by the State and the religious elites concerning Sharia’ enforcement in Langsa.

Abstract

This study examines the public sphere and the formation of counterpublics based on the narratives of former Muslims from Aceh who converted to Christianity on YouTube. This study argues that in addition to strengthening the distinct attributes of Islamic identity in the public sphere, YouTube enables Acehnese former Muslims, as a subaltern community, to negotiate new social identities and share religious experiences after conversion. It also explores how Acehnese former Muslims challenge the dominant culture and restrictive regulations in Aceh, which perceive religious conversions as heresy and unlawful conduct. Data were collected using the digital ethnographic technique from four of the YouTube narratives of twelve Acehnese former Muslims who had converted to Christianity. The findings indicate that the online public sphere enhances the autonomy and their capacity to negotiate their Acehnese social identity, which is closely constructed with Islam. The presence of YouTube content thus contributes to strengthening the development of democracy and freedom of religious practice in Indonesia.
