Abstract

This research attempts to investigate an intermingled relationship of political interest and religious issues, particularly in the Jakarta's Gubernatorial Issues in 2017. Basuki Tjahaya Purnama or Ahok, one of the governor candidate and also the former governor was accused of blasphemy issues after his speech in the Pramuka Island becomes viral. Although this case ended with a court, which ruled that he was guilty and received a sentence of 2 years in prison, this has become an unforgettable fact of Indonesian democracy. The proposed inquiry is how far religious issues influence political tension for based non-religion countries such as Indonesia. By using approach of hate Spin, within the combination of hate speech (vilification or offense-giving) and indignation of the offense-taking framework, this paper focuses on the entanglements of a political campaign and religious issues in the election period. This issue is significant for the reason that the tension of religious and political issues put both democracy and multiculturalism in Indonesia. Indeed, there is still a good opportunity for maintaining diversity through producing tolerance view, and enforcing the law for the actor of hate speech and hate spin.

Abstract

In spite of the fact that Islamic identity politics is not a new theme in Indonesia, this phenomenon is increasing in the public sphere after the 1998 reform. This is marked by the frequent use of religious issues in the political contestations such as the 2017 DKI Jakarta Gubernatorial election and the 2019 Presidential election. In the DKI election, certain Islamic groups demanded Basuki Tjahaya Purnama, who from the double minority group, as a subject due to blasphemy issue. However, in 2019 Presidential election which Joko Widodo and Prabowo Subianto rematched for the second candidacy, religious issues were also raising. Political contestation continued despite the fact that the two presidential candidates are Muslim. This interesting fact certainly raises the question of the phenomenon of national politics which leads not only to the strengthening of Islamic identity politics but also the identity politicsbetween Islamic groups in Indonesia. Based on field studies, literatures and interviews, this study will discuss the construction process of the identity politics of Islamic groups against social and political reality nowadays, moreover in the 2019 Presidential Election. In contrast to the other researches that still focuses on why identity politics arises, this research will examine the construction process, moreover in the 2019 Presidential election.

Abstract

Water pollution, caused primarily by mining and palm oil plantation, contributed to the water crisis in North Morowali, Central Sulawesi, Indonesia. It has impacted the Mori Indigenous community, which are among the largest and the oldest communities in the area. They have their own ecological knowledge that reveals a strong connection to the water, but the extractive industries, which pollute their historic Tiu Lake, threaten others water resources, and disconnect them from nature. This study examines Mori Indigenous religious narratives of water and how they perceive and cope with the water pollution. This study applies the qualitative research methodology, using in-depth interview and direct observation to collect the data. Employing Indigenous religion paradigm and the theories of sacred natural sites, this study finds that the religious narratives of water are: Tiu Lake Legend, Imbu-the water protector myth, and the sacred place of water resources. They reveal the inter-subjective relationship of the Mori Indigenous community to the water with religious principle such as: the responsible dimension, how they protected Tiu Lake and water resources as sacred place; the ethics dimension is about the rules on water resources; and the reciprocal dimension where they try to maintain a balance and harmony between human and nature. All this ecological knowledge will be used for water resource preservation in North Morowali, Central Sulawesi.

Abstract

The body of literature on environmental studies suggest that sustainability in agricultural sector is not only a matter of technical agricultural management, but also the ideas, norms, or values that farmers hold, including those from religion. This cannot hold true more than the Indonesia context of religious society. Indonesia is an agricultural country where most of the population’s livelihood is agriculture, as demonstrated by the fact that 37.5% of the total land area is used for farming. Through an empirical study in Blora, Central Java, this article aims to examine and identify the norms, practices, and motivations of faith-based organic farming by Nahdlatul Ulama Agriculture Development Institute (LPPNU) Blora in promoting environmental and food sustainability. This study is based on a qualitative study using the theories of lived religion and religious creativity. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews with 13 individuals, including spiritual leaders, NU administrators, and NU organic farmers, and participant observation for three months. This article has two main findings. First, the religious norms and practices developed by LPPNU in organic farming in Blora express the principles of worship, stewardship of the earth, compassion for nature, self-reliance, and sustainability by making nutrient-rich organic matter fertilizer. Secondly, the primary motivations for farmers to switch to organic are personal health, soil health, and religiosity. Other motivations are influenced by institutional authority and religious reasons.
