Abstract

This article is a literary research and preliminary examination to a unique interaction between Jews and Sufism that taken place in medieval Islamic ruling. In the face of the present antagonistic posture of Jews and Muslims relationship that dominates the public sphere, in history, there are some examples of interaction of the two people beyond confictual narrative. One of them is Jewish mysticism that adopted Sufism into their spiritual ideal, which took place in the medieval era. We might call the phenomenon tentatively as “Jewish Sufism.”

Abstract

This article is an attempt to revisit the problem of history and memory  in the construction of  Indonesian violent past, notably the 1965 putsch and its aftermath. The engagement is based on the understanding that history , as a product of scientific discipline, is mainly seeing the past prospectively, while the memory of people, particularly those who are affected by the traumatic event, is seeing it retrospectively. In these two tendencies, generally the standard account champions the historian version, by sacrificing the ordinary people’s account. Contrary to this, by taking Bakhtinian dialogical reading of history, the article gives an ample space to the many-voicedness of historical account , to the complexity of historical struggle, and to seeing the dynamic of the past beyond the stereotypes of “victim” vs.”perpetrator”
