Abstract

This paper explores the social life of smell in the early period of Islam. It is part of the efforts to awaken the historical awareness of the senses in the discipline of Islamic history and to contribute to the emerging field of sensory studies in which the senses are incorporated into our understanding of the past. The study applies the sensory history technique in investigating the context in which Muslim noses smelled in the past; in particular, their use of aromatic materials. The main question of the study is: how did fragrance function in religious practices, and the daily lives of early Muslim society? After analyzing the Quran and the hadith as the primary sources, the study finds that religious rituals and practices have encouraged the massive use of fragrance products such as musk, ambergris, camphor, and saffron. Fragrance became one of the most needed commodities in early Muslim markets. The status of fragrance also shifted from luxury goods afforded only by the aristocrat classes as simply necessity goods due to the increase in demand by ordinary Muslims. However, the use of fragrance is also gendered. The study finds discrimination and restriction for men and women in applying perfumes. The prohibition against women from wearing strong fragrance in public was for protection, because the Arabian tribal society in the seventh century associated women with lower status, and they were more frequently subjected to sexual harassment. This initial research of the smell of fragrance is expected to broaden our horizon of how early Muslim societies lived and what their world smelled like in the past.

Abstract

The Korean Wave refers to South Korean popular culture (pop culture), which has expanded throughout Asia, Europe, and America. This Korean Wave is being propagated through the entertainment sector, including music, movies, dramas, cosmetic goods, food, and so on, and is also being aided by the increasing flow of globalization. The goal of this study is to discover what variables impact the behavior of certain UIN Ar-Raniry students who like the Korean Wave and how the conduct of some UIN Ar-Raniry students who are influenced by the Korean Wave is affected. This study employed a qualitative method, with data collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The acquired data was then examined using data analysis software. Data reduction, data presentation, conclusion drawing, and verification were used to examine the obtained data. The findings revealed that the effect of friends, families, and South Korean dramas presented on Indonesian private television channels influenced certain UIN Ar-Raniry students' liking of the Korean Wave. Some UIN Ar-Raniry students who were impacted by the Korean Wave may be noticed in their open conduct, use of language, style of dress, make-up and skin care, eating and food etiquette, and usage of social media. Their restricted conduct, methods of thinking and envisioning, growing knowledge or understanding, and developing self-confidence all have a shape.

Abstract

Before independence, during the Dutch era, ethnic Chinese first appeared in Langsa. Originally from the Toko Rear Area, or Chinatown Area, they are now dispersed around the city on streets such Jenderal Ahmad Yani Street, Aggusalim Street, Teuku Umar Street, Pasar Hugs, and others. The goal of this study was to learn more about the tactics used by ethnic Chinese traders in Langsa as well as the impact of their commerce on the local populace. By merging data from the literature with field research data, this study employs qualitative research. Interviews, documentation, and non-participant observation were the methods employed in this study. Data reduction, data presentation, and data verification are all types of data analysis techniques. The study's findings demonstrate that elements like religion, culture, (tradition and kinship), education, trade structure, and a suitable environment also have an impact on the habits, capital, and work ethic of the Chinese ethnic group in Langsa. This increased, increased, and advanced the ethnic Chinese trade, which had a significant impact on Langsa's trade growth sector. On the other hand, the influence of ethnic Chinese trade on local communities also had a positive effect, such as the lack of competition between Chinese and local traders; rather, the presence of Chinese traders makes local traders feel profitable because they can buy goods at low prices from Chinese stores. The service system is effective and welcoming, the stock is complete, and the newness of the items is assured. Many locals have also found employment in ethnic Chinese stores. A lot of local community activities, including as weddings, funerals, social meetings, and other events are also attended by ethnic Chinese. In addition to trade contacts, relationships with their surroundings are also firmly formed. To this day, the Chinese continue to uphold the ideals of harmony between the ethnic Chinese and the local community by remembering to give food or ampau to the local children when they celebrate festivals like Chinese New Year.

Abstract

The implementation of the Sabang Free-Trade Zone (FTZ) has implications for the increasing distribution of illegal cigarettes in the mainland areas of Aceh. It exacerbates state financial losses, community health problems, and the workload on customs to conduct control and supervision. This qualitative study aims to explore how the Free-Trade Zone in Sabang was managed as an instrument for political concession in the Aceh conflict and its quota decision mechanism on illegal cigarettes. Using a grounded qualitative research design, we conducted 12 in-depth interviews with key stakeholders. Four important findings are reflected in this study. First, the management of the Sabang-Free Trade Zone is highly influenced by political aspects and a lack of managerial competence. Second, there is a dilemmatic perspective of the conflicting parties regarding the Sabang FTZ. Third, the quota mechanism related to the distribution of imported cigarettes is not regulated and merely relies on importers’ requests. Lastly, the control and supervision system at the Sabang FTZ is weak. These findings are expected to serve as the foundation for policy recommendations and lessons on the illegal cigarette trade in Indonesia and other post-conflict countries, as well as free trade zones in neighbouring countries like Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore, and the Philippines.
