Abstract

This article examines religious practices in contemporary performance through a sociological approach grounded in the Eastern cultural context of Indonesia. The study focuses on how monologue theatre Amir Nasution, Topeng Monyet (the monkey show) performances, theatrical livestreams of online commerce, and digital stages within WhatsApp groups function as social arenas where religious values are produced, negotiated, and reflected. Religious experience is not understood as fixed doctrine but as a social construction that is symbolic, theatrical, and performative. The sociology of religion provides the framework to interpret how rituals, symbols, and religious practices emerge within the everyday life of Indonesian society, which is shaped by collectivist values and the spiritual ethos of Eastern culture. The meaning of religiosity in performance is layered and dynamic, shaped by social interaction, local traditions, and symbolic actions that emphasize harmony and solidarity. WhatsApp groups, as digital spaces of interaction, are understood as spontaneous forms of metatheatre that embody dramatic structure, performative awareness, and fluid spiritual moments, reflecting religious practices in Eastern communities in the digital era. This article argues that theatre—whether conventional, digital, or metatheatrical—constitutes a social space relevant to contemporary life and offers religious experiences that resonate with the inclusive, collective, and tradition-rooted character of Indonesian Eastern culture.

Abstract

Meningkatnya tekanan psikologis, fragmentasi spiritual, dan kebingungan karier pada Generasi Z merupakan isu kontemporer yang berdampak besar pada dunia pendidikan global, termasuk pesantren. Penelitian ini mengkaji Metode Holistic Spiritual Qur’ani (HSQ) sebagai model dakwah irsyad yang mengintegrasikan simbolisasi al-Qur’an dengan pendekatan spiritual-psikologis dalam membantu santri membentuk identitas, arah hidup, dan kesiapan karier. Menggunakan desain kualitatif fenomenologis, data diperoleh melalui wawancara, observasi, dan dokumentasi terhadap konselor, pendiri HSQ, dan santri di Pondok Pesantren Integritas Qur’ani Bandung. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa HSQ memberikan pendekatan multidimensi yang mencakup PQ (Physical Quotient), IQ (Intellectual Quotient) , EQ (Emotional Quotient), dan SQ (Spiritual Quotient) melalui teknik penakwilan simbologi Qur’ani dan struktur Mushaf Utsmani. HSQ terbukti memperkuat resiliensi spiritual santri, mengurangi kebingungan eksistensial, serta membantu perencanaan karier yang selaras dengan nilai Qur’ani. HSQ merupakan model dakwah irsyad inovatif yang relevan menghadapi isu-isu kontemporer dan berkontribusi bagi pengembangan studi agama serta bimbingan dan konseling Islam.

Abstract

The Hajj and Umrah rituals are central acts of worship in Islam, containing intertwined spiritual, social, cultural, economic, and political dimensions. In the context of globalization and advanced modernity, these rituals have undergone significant transformation, from traditional spiritual pilgrimage practices to global religious phenomena mediated by digital technology, the travel industry, and transnational market logic. This study aims to analyze the dynamics of this transformation through the religious studies approach developed by Hillary Rodrigues and John S. Harding, which rejects the reductive dichotomy between insider perspectives (faith, religious experience, and theological commitment) and outsider perspectives (critical academic analysis). This study uses an interdisciplinary qualitative approach with a library research design. Primary data sources include the Qur'an, hadith, and the theoretical works of Rodrigues and Harding, while secondary data sources include scientific journal articles, academic books, and contemporary studies on the Hajj, Umrah, and religion in the digital age. Data analysis is conducted through concept reduction, contextual interpretation, and theoretical synthesis by integrating theological, phenomenological, and sociological perspectives. The results of this study indicate that the Rodrigues–Harding approach allows for a more holistic understanding of the Hajj and Umrah as ritual practices that are simultaneously sacred and social. This study also finds that the commodification and mediatization of rituals in the contemporary era creates a paradox between the ideal of spiritual simplicity and the reality of material splendor, but at the same time opens up new spaces for the formation of global Muslim solidarity, including through digital media. The contribution of this study lies in strengthening the interdisciplinary analytical framework in the study of Islamic rituals that bridges faith and science, and offers a critical reflection on the spiritual meaning of the Hajj and Umrah amidst modern socio-cultural changes.

Abstract

This article explores how religiosity is expressed, negotiated, and commodified within digital spaces, focusing on the case of Roblox as a manifestation of the platform society. Using a critical-theoretical approach, it integrates Jürgen Habermas’s (1984) theory of communicative rationality, Nick Srnicek’s (2017) concept of platform capitalism, and a critique of Heidi A. Campbell’s (2012) notion of digital religion, further expanded through José van Dijck, Thomas Poell, and Martijn de Waal’s (2018) framework of the platform society. The analysis reveals that the expression, negotiation, and commodification of religiosity in digital environments represent a dialectical tension between communicative action and systemic rationality, where faith is mediated, structured, and governed by the technological and economic logic of platforms. Roblox functions as a microcosm of digital society, demonstrating how faith simultaneously thrives and is constrained under algorithmic control and data capitalism. The article contributes to religion and media studies by proposing the concept of platformized religiosity, a form of faith lived under algorithmic governance that nonetheless retains its reflective and emancipatory potential in modern digital life.

Abstract

The phenomenon of the commodification of religion in digital media signifies a fundamental shift in the ways spiritual values are produced, represented, and consumed in contemporary society. Digital media no longer function merely as channels for religious communication, but also as arenas of symbolic economy governed by algorithmic logic and platform capitalism. In this context, religion tends to shift from a transcendental experience toward a visual performance measured by popularity, attention, and exchange value. This study aims to analyze the commodification of religion in digital media by emphasizing the perspectives of gender and children as socially vulnerable subjects. Employing a critical-interpretative qualitative approach, the research draws on literature review, qualitative observation of digital religious content, and thematic-critical analysis grounded in the philosophy of communication, critical theory, and ethical studies. The findings indicate that representations of women and children in digital religious content often function as visually effective symbols of piety, yet they are prone to symbolic reduction and objectification. Furthermore, the study reveals that algorithmic logic encourages the simplification of religious messages and reinforces religious performativity, thereby marginalizing the reflective and ethical dimensions of faith. Nevertheless, digital media also provide new opportunities for more inclusive religious participation and expression, provided that such practices are accompanied by critical awareness and moral responsibility. This study underscores the urgency of developing an ethical framework for digital religious communication that prioritizes human dignity, particularly that of women and children, amid the dynamics of digital capitalism.
