Abstract

Abstract: Indonesian history has been filled with many radical ideas and movements aiming to bring about radical changes in the direction of the nation state. Yet radicalism has created fear and angst amongst communities. This paper examines the narrative of radicalism and fear as constructed in an Indonesian Catholic document published in 1967. The document narrates the historical and political events from Indonesia’s independence to the early years of Suharto’s New Order regime, with a particular focus on the Madiun incident of 1948 and the Crocodile Hole tragedy of 1965. The paper argues that the document scrutinized is nothing but a fear text, and the fear narrative as constructed in the text is related to radicalism – namely the leftist radicalism represented by the Indonesian communists pre-1965, and the rightist radicalism represented by religious (Muslim) radicals post-1965. This main argument is explained with reference to Martin Heidegger’s philosophy of fear, and it concludes that the fear experiences concerning the communist past is paralelled with the experiences of fear in recent times in relation to religious (Islamic) radicalism. Keywords: radicalism, fear, communists, Muslims, Catholics, Heidegger Abstrak: Sejarah Indonesia dililiti banyak ide dan gerakan radikal yang bertujuan untuk membawa perubahan radikal ke arah negara bangsa. Namun radikalisme telah menciptakan ketakutan dan kecemasan di antara masyarakat. Makalah ini mengkaji narasi radikalisme dan ketakutan yang dibangun dalam dokumen Katolik Indonesia yang diterbitkan pada tahun 1967. Dokumen tersebut menceritakan peristiwa sejarah dan politik dari kemerdekaan Indonesia hingga tahun-tahun awal rezim Orde Baru Suharto, dengan fokus khusus pada insiden Madiun dari 1948 dan tragedi Lubang Buaya 1965. Makalah ini berpendapat bahwa dokumen yang diteliti tidak lain adalah teks ketakutan, dan narasi rasa takut yang terkonstruksi dalam teks ini terkait dengan radikalisme - yaitu radikalisme kiri yang diwakili oleh komunis Indonesia pra-1965, dan radikalisme kanan yang diwakili oleh radikal agama (Muslim) pasca-1965. Argumen utama ini dijelaskan dengan mengacu pada filosofi rasa takut Martin Heidegger, dan disimpulkan pengalaman-pengalaman ketakutan mengenai masa lalu komunis dilumpuhkan dengan pengalaman-pengalaman ketakutan belakangan ini dalam kaitannya dengan radikalisme agama (Islam). Kata-kata Kunci: radikalisme, ketakutan, komunis, Muslim, Katolik, Heidegger

Abstract

Abstract This paper explains an Islamic eschatology according to Shia, and suggests that []Shia eschatology always has two dimensions – religion and politics – and the two dimensions are inseperable. Discussion surrounding Shia eschatology in this paper is particularly focused on the Mahdism concept and the figure of Mahdi. This paper is thus not intended to make a generalisation about ‘Islamic eschatology’ as if there were only one type of Islam with a single understanding of eschatology. Most Indonesian Muslims are of Sunni type of Islam, and may not share the viewpoint of Shia at all concerning eschatology. The key purpose of this paper is rather to explore one version of understanding of eschatology within Islam in order to provoke further reflection on other perspectives on eschatology. Keywords: Eschatology, Islam, Politics, Religion, Shia, Sunni, Prophet Muhammad, Mahdism, Mahdi Abstrak Tulisan ini menjelaskan sebuah eskatologi Islam menurut Shia, dan mengusulkan bahwa versi eskatologi Shia selalu memiliki dua dimensi – agama dan politik – dan keduanya tak terpisahkan. Pembahasan mengenai eskatologi Shia dalam tulisan ini khususnya berfokus pada konsep Mahdisme dan figur Mahdi, menurut versi Islam Shia. Maka tulisan ini tak dimaksudkan untuk membuat generalisasi mengenai ‘eskatologi Islam’ seolah ada hanya satu jenis Islam dengan pemahaman tunggal mengenai eskatologi. Kebanyakan kaum Muslim Indonesian adalah penganut Sunni, dan barangkali samasekali tak sependapat dengan pandangan Shia tentang eskatologi. Tujuan utama tulisan ini sebetulnya untuk menjelaskan satu versi pemahaman eskatologi dalam Islam agar memprovokasi refleksi lebih lanjut tentang perspektif-perspektif lain terkait eskatologi. Kata-Kata Kunci: Eskatologi, Islam, Politik, Agama, Shia, Sunni, Nabi Muhammad, Mahdisme, Mahdi.

Abstract

This paper investigates how Indonesian Catholics living in outlying areas in eastern Indonesia experience fear in relation to the events that have arisen from the massacre of suspected Indonesian communists in 1965. It is concerned with why the Catholic Church created an image of communists as fear-inspiring beings, and how this fear was maintained after the communists had been largely eliminated through the state-sponsored killings of 1965/66. The object of inquiry is a historical document produced in 1967 by the Catholic Church that sought to explain events leading up to 1965. This paper analyses the forces that underlie this fear in terms of the secular fear of communism, the religious fear of Islamic fanaticism, and the supernatural fear of communist ghosts as a result of the killing of communists in 1965. It argues that the fear of 1965 is not a matter of the past but part of the present, an argument that is in accordance with Martin Heidegger’s contention that all fears are concerned with the present. Keywords: Ketakutan, Katolik, komunis, Islam, hantu, sekuler, agama, supranatural.
