Abstract

The phenomenon of "war takjil" involving non-Muslim participation in the hunt for takjil (fast-breaking food) during the month of Ramadan is an interesting object of research. This reflects the social, cultural, and perhaps economic dynamics that occur in a pluralistic society. The objectives of this research can vary, depending on the perspective that is to be taken. The following is the formulation of the research objectives, Identifying how the Muslim community views this phenomenon, whether they see it positively, neutrally, or whether there is social tension that arises. Exploring social aspects and cultural perceptions related to this phenomenon. This perception will reflect the values of tolerance, religious exclusivity, and social dynamics in a multicultural society. Using the theory of Social Tolerance to understand how religious differences are managed in the same public space. Some research questions that can be asked include How does the Muslim community interpret the participation of non-Muslims in war takjil activities? Is this phenomenon considered a form of tolerance, just a trend, or a violation of religious values? Are there differences in perception among Muslim communities based on age, education level, or religious background that are more conservative compared to moderate?With these questions, it is hoped that this study can provide deeper insights into interfaith social interactions during the holy month of Ramadan.

Abstract

In post-pandemic era, prejudice remains an important theme in public issues. Tensions between cultural, social, and even religious elements are still triggered by prejudice, especially religious prejudice. Even though conflicts occur due to a variety of factors, religion is frequently a significant factor. Religious issues frequently create religious intolerance. Religion is considered paradoxical (a paradox of faith) because it generates religious excitement (creating and even preventing prejudice formation) as well as moral and ethical decline. The imaginative world (literary works) is transformed into a communicative and contemplative medium, as well as a critical and reflective medium toward socio-cultural phenomena from/to the world of reality. Imaginary works become a medium of communication and peace-building for the development of religious tolerance through imaginary narratives that are able to present a diversity-oriented dialogue. This paper discusses on how Saddam Hussein’s novel ‘Ukhruj Minha Ya Mal’un’ reflects prejudice reduction. The texts shared a discourse on socio-cultural contact, inter-religious dialogue (inter-group friendship), inclusive theology, opposing prejudice, conflict resolution, individual personality, religious experience, and religious attitudes, which play important roles in the reinforcement of religious tolerance. Data on religious values (Islam) were collected from the novel’s text using the qualitative-interpretative method and Gordon Allport’s perspective on the nature of prejudice, and then explored using the technique of explication du texte. This paper argues that reinforcement of religious tolerance can be carried out continuously by discovering the fundamental values of religion and producing inclusive theological images so that they are more appreciative of diversity. The Implications of the findings of this study are expected to refute the assumption that religion is a final frontier (and/or has the potential prejudice) of personal prejudice, stereotype, and discrimination, with attitudes to faith driving negative perceptions more than ethnicity or nationality.

Abstract

This research examines Sundanese traditional proverbs as culturally embedded oral artefacts that embody aesthetic values, local wisdom and intangible cultural heritage within West Java’s Sundanese communities. Departing from conventional folkloristic and literary approaches that often treat proverbs as static texts, this study adopts a Barthesian semiotic framework, drawing on Roland Barthes’s theory of myth to analyze proverbs as dynamic signifying systems that naturalize cultural ideologies and encode inherited worldview. Through participatory ethnography over eighteen proverbs were collected through community interviews, oral storytelling and archival triangulation. Each proverb was examined not only in its linguistic form but as a mythic structure in Barthes’ sense, a second-order semiological system that transform cultural values into self-evident truths. Findings highlight that Sundanese traditional proverbs function as aesthetic-cultural systems, conveying harmony with nature, intergenerational respect, communal balance and resistance to cultural homogenization. By examining how these proverbs operate both semantically and ideologically, the study shows how they act as mythic speech that reinforces local identity and moral consciousness, while simultaneously adapting to contemporary cultural contexts. This re-framing challenges the treatment of proverbs as inert folklore and instead presents them as living, semiotic practices that play an active role in the negotiation of meaning, memory and cultural continuity. Ultimately, this study offers a novel methodological contribution by integrating aesthetic analysis with Barthesian semiotics to interrogate oral traditions within endangered linguistic communities. It argues for the urgent preservation and revalorization of such oral artefacts as part of broader efforts in cultural sustainability and intangible heritage protection. In doing so, the findings contribute not only to Sundanese cultural studies but also to wider interdisciplinary dialogue on language preservation, the aesthetics of local wisdom and the politics of representation in intangible heritage discourses.
