Abstract

The article discusses the narratives of “Islamist” intolerance in two cities of Yogyakarta and Solo in the post-Suharto era. It aims to elucidate the multiplicity of intolerance acts and the complexity of underpinning factors to intolerance. It argues that Islamist intolerance has manifested in various forms, ranging from the ideological, instrumental, and symbolic form. However, these categorizations of ideological, instrumental, and symbolic are not clear-cut and permanent one, but there is always some possible overlap between them. There is also the possibility that the form of intolerance can change in different times and occasions. This study is based on fieldwork research taken during 2014-2016 in both cities. Methodologically, this research-based article used Extended Cased Method (ECM). The data was collected by employing indepth interview and participant observation with secondary sources such as local media and government documents.[Tulisan ini membahas narasi Islam intoleran di dua kota, Solo dan Yogyakarta, pasca rezim Soeharto. Selain itu juga menjelaskan sejumlah aksi intoleran dan kompleksitas faktor-faktor yang berkelindan dalam peristiwa tersebut. Tulisan ini mengajukan argumen bahwa Islam intoleran mempunyairagam bentuk, mulai dari ideologis, instrumentalis hingga simbolis. Meskipun demikian, kategori tersebut tidak bersifat kaku dan permanen, tetapi terkadang bersifat saling overlap satu sama lainnya. Ada kemungkinan juga bentuk intoleran berubah seiring dengan perubahan waktu dan kondisi. Kajian ini berdasarkan pada studi lapangan di dua kota pada rentang waktu 2014-2016. Secara metodologi kajian ini menggunakan pendekatan Extended Cased Method (ECM). Data dikumpulkan melalui serangkaian wawancara mendalam dan observasi partisipatif dengan didukung data sekunder dari arsip daerah dan sejumlah media surat kabar lokal.]

Abstract

This article analyzes the life of young millennial Salafi-niqabi in Surakarta and their strategies in dealing with power relations in their everyday lives. Studies on Salafi in Indonesia have focused more on global Salafimovements, power politics, links with fundamentalist-radical movements, state security and criticism of Salafi religious doctrine. Although there are several studies that try to portray the daily life of this religious group, the majority of previous studies focused on formal institutions and male Salafi. Very few studies have addressed the lives of Salafi women. This is likely due to the difficulty of approaching this group because of their exclusivity, and their restrictions on interacting with the outside world. Using Macleod’s theory of ‘accommodating protest’ within the

Abstract

This article argues the important roles played by women either in the act of violent extremism or in its countering by focusing particularly on the issue of regeneration. Through their traditional roles as a mother and wife, women can affect, manage, or even to a certain extent shape the choice of a family either to keep or to discharge violent extremism ideology in the family circle. The study was carried out in Poso, a small town in Central Sulawesi, Eastern Indonesia, which has experienced communal conflict between Muslim and Christian communities that eventually been transformed into violent extremism acts by jihadi-terrorist actors. Through conducting fieldwork in 2019 and continuing with an ‘in-distance study’ using communication technology in 2020, the study employed a qualitative method by interviewing 30 women in Poso. Following Vigh (2006) and Sjoberg & Gentry (2011), it contends that woman as agency carries out social navigation in dealing with uncertainties and socio-political crises as the consequence of protracted violent conflict in the area. This study concludes that despite being situated in the circles of jihadism which are more dominated by masculine character, women’s agency emerges in two forms: first, in nurturing and maintaining the ideology of violent extremism through inheriting revenge narratives, choosing a school, and involving children in extremism activities. Second, some women opt to leave violent circles off in their families by disclosing the spaces for dialogue and opening reflective personal communication with their children to provide broader viewpoints and non-violence values. The article closes with a reflection on the dynamic relations between mother and children as a pivotal factor in the regeneration process of violent extremist groups based on biographic narratives of mother and children in jihadi-terrorist family.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the primary concerns of emerging adulthood in Bandung, Indonesia, and the psychological dynamics that occur in their lives during this stage. Using a three-phase approach, a survey was conducted among 1034 participants (mean age = 20.4) to identify their current concerns. A grounded approach was employed in the second phase to determine the recurring themes of concern. The findings indicate that the primary concern of emerging adults is related to potentially toxic romantic relationships. To gain a deeper understanding of the psychological dynamics associated with these relationships, in-depth interviews were conducted with 11 emerging adults who had experienced toxic relationships. The results revealed five critical areas within toxic relationships, including: 1) reasons for initiating the relationship; 2) the "something is wrong" phase; 3) adverse outcomes of the relationship; 4) strategies for ending the relationship; and 5) expectations that emerge and develop as the relationship ends. In conclusion, this study provides insights into the primary concerns of emerging adulthood regarding toxic romantic relationships. The findings have important implications for the development of interventions and more effective approaches to help emerging adults manage their romantic relationships.

Abstract

This article described the discourse on ethnoreligious identity in electoral politics in NTT from the perspective of post-structuralism. The discursiveness of identity is important because it helps with how ethnoreligious identity is constructed to become hegemonic in electoral politics. Using Laclau and Mouffe’s discourse theory, this study found three articulations constructing ethnoreligious identity in electoral politics to become hegemonic, namely first, the historical articulation of enemy and ally; secondly, the institutionalization of representation of ethnoreligious identity in candidate pairs; and third, the daily socio-political practices of political actors. Reflectively, even though the three articulations have different working logics, they are ultimately absorbed in the “nodal point,” namely the hegemony of ethnoreligious identity in electoral politics. This study aims to raise citizens’ critical awareness that the hegemony of ethnoreligious identity in electoral politics is not taken for granted but is a social construction. By gaining this awareness, the citizens are expected not to be trapped in the essentialism of identity in electoral politics. This study contributes to the discourse study of the hegemony of ethno-religious identity in electoral politics.

Abstract

This study investigates the trends of workcation in Indonesia, and the motivations and expectations of workcationers. Workcation is a new way of working that has gained momentum globally, including in Indonesia, particularly since the COVID-19 pandemic. However, research on the workcation trend involving Indonesian workers is limited, if not non-existent. Thus, this study aims to identify the profiles of those who adopt this work style, their motivation, preferences, and experiences. The data in this paper were drawn from an online survey and interviews with workcationers. We use a mixed method and adopt the New Ways of Working (NWW) approach to the sociology of work to provide new insights into the emerging workcation trend in the digital age. The findings show that Indonesian workers who adopt this work style are mostly millennials employed in the formal sectors and earn above the regional minimum wage. They believe that workcation can improve well-being and productivity. However, this trend has drawbacks for workers, such as alienation due to a low sense of belonging, depression, and work-life imbalance. Based on these findings, we propose some relevant social policy responses.

Abstract

This article examines the complex entanglements between state security forces and Islamic non-state actors in the dynamics of security and insecurity in post-conflict Poso, Indonesia. Drawing on and expanding the notion of “security blurs” proposed by Diphoorn and Grassiani, we investigate how Islamic religious discourses, authorities, and practices are inextricably woven into the fabric of security governance in this post-conflict context. The article reveals that policing against religious terrorism in Poso fundamentally involves engagements and collaborations with diverse Islamic non-state security actors, ranging from former jihadist combatants and ex-convicted terrorists to local Islamic religious leaders and community networks. This study argues that the entanglement of Islamic religious actors with state security forces simultaneously produces both security and insecurity. This form of “religious policing”—shaped significantly by Islamic norms, discourses, and actors—challenges the prevailing assumption in modern policing scholarship that security governance must necessarily be secular and impartial.[Artikel ini mengkaji keterkaitan kompleks antara aparat keamanan negara dan aktor-aktor Islam non-negara dalam dinamika keamanan dan ketidakamanan di Poso, Indonesia, pasca-konflik. Dengan mengacu pada sekaligus mengembangkan konsep “security blurs” yang dikemukakan oleh Diphoorn dan Grassiani, kami menyelidiki bagaimana wacana, otoritas, dan praktik keagamaan Islam terjalin erat dalam struktur tata kelola keamanan dalam konteks pasca-konflik ini. Artikel ini mengungkapkan bahwa penegakan hukum terhadap terorisme bermotif agama di Poso pada dasarnya melibatkan interaksi dan kolaborasi dengan berbagai aktor keamanan non-negara Islam, mulai dari mantan kombatan jihad, mantan terpidana teroris, hingga pemimpin agama Islam lokal dan jaringan masyarakat. Studi ini berpendapat bahwa keterkaitan antara aktor-aktor agama Islam dengan pasukan keamanan negara secara bersamaan menghasilkan keamanan dan ketidakamanan. Bentuk religious policing (penegakan hukum berbasis agama) yang secara signifikan dibentuk oleh norma, wacana, dan aktor Islam ini menantang asumsi yang berlaku dalam kajian penegakan hukum modern bahwa tata kelola keamanan harus bersifat sekuler dan imparsial.]
