Abstract

MUI's fatwa in the case of blasphemy and insulting clerics by Ahok is a complex event. It not only signifies the rise of political Islam in the arena of contestation but also symbolizes the presence of identity representation. MUI through its fatwa seems to confirm the presence of sectarian identity based on religion. This refers to Johnson's concept that the media text leads to something behind it. By analyzing the fatwa, it becomes clear that through its text, MUI not only shows itself as an affirmation of Islamic identity as the dominant but also as a binary differentiator in the cultural representation of Indonesian society in various other dimensions. By using a text analysis approach and also a literature study, the author concluded that MUI has opened political identity in the electoral arena. The issuance of MUI fatwa text in Ahok's case has opened a new level of cultural representation dynamics, through religious identity that goes hand in hand with electoral contestation.

Abstract

Instagram has become a major tool in shaping tourism representation and constructing cultural identity. This research analyzes how the Tomb of the Mataram Kings in Yogyakarta is represented on Instagram @kratonjogja and its impact on tourists' interpretations. Using a critical phenomenology approach, the study argues that Instagram is not merely a promotional platform but also an instrument of symbolic domination that aestheticizes and commodifies cultural heritage. Through digital content analysis, in-depth interviews, and participatory observation, this study reveals that tourists' experiences are increasingly mediated by digital expectations, diluting the historical and spiritual significance of the sites. Consequently, this study underscores the necessity for a critically informed tourism management strategy to mitigate the symbolic dominance of digital platforms while safeguarding the historical-spiritual integrity of cultural sites within contemporary tourism promotion dynamics.
