Abstract

This study explores the dynamics of ecological colonialism in West Kalimantan through the intersecting lenses of Michel Foucault's genealogy of power and Sean McDonagh's ecotheological discourse. Drawing upon a critical-theoretical framework, the research investigates how historical and contemporary environmental domination, often justified through state-corporate development narratives, constitutes a form of colonial violence against both nature and indigenous epistemologies. By employing Foucault's concept of power relations and discursive formations, the study deconstructs the mechanisms through which ecological control is normalized, particularly in extractive economies such as palm oil and mining. Simultaneously, McDonagh’s ecotheology offers a normative theological response that reframes the relationship between humanity, creation, and justice, providing a counter-narrative rooted in ecological ethics. The local resistance of communities in West Kalimantan is examined as a site of epistemic contestation, where indigenous cosmologies and spiritualities challenge dominant ecological paradigms. This research contributes to the broader discourse on political ecology, postcolonial theology, and environmental justice by bridging critical theory and contextual theology. It underscores the need to rethink environmental governance through plural epistemologies that honor both ecological integrity and sociocultural sovereignty.

Abstract

Artikel ini membahas fenomena eksistensi manusia dalam dunia digital kontemporer dengan menyoroti platform TikTok sebagai ruang performatif yang dibentuk oleh algoritma, viralitas, dan estetika kurasi diri dalam lensa pemikiran Jean-Paul Sartre. Tujuan utama artikel ini adalah untuk menganalisis bagaimana kebebasan, tanggung jawab, dan kontruksi makna sebagai tema sentral dalam eksistensialisme Jean-Paul Sartre ditantang oleh struktur teknologis TikTok. Melalui metode pendekatan kualitatif-filosofis, artikel ini mengeksplorasi bagaimana pengguna TikTok kerap mengalami kondisi mauvaise foi ‘ketidakjujuran terhadap diri sendiri’, ketika tindakan dan identitas digital lebih ditentukan oleh algoritma dan ekspektasi eksternal daripada pilihan sadar dan reflektif. Argumen utama yang diajukan adalah bahwa TikTok menciptakan bentuk baru dari krisis makna di mana kebebasan eksistensial terancam oleh siklus performa instan, pencitraan yang seragam, dan validasi algoritmik. Meski demikian, artikel ini juga menunjukkan bahwa TikTok bukanlah ruang yang sepenuhnya meniadakan eksistensi otentik sebaliknya ia menyimpan potensi sebagai medan pencarian makna jika digunakan dengan penuh kesadaran reflektif dan ditopang oleh nilai-nilai etis. Kebaruan yang ditawarkan artikel ini terletak pada penerapan langsung konsep-konsep kunci Sartrean—seperti kebebasan, tanggung jawab, mauvaise foi, dan kontruksi makna dalam melakukan analisis kritis terhadap dinamika media sosial, secara khusus TikTok.

Abstract

Digital literacy is crucial for enhancing communication skills in the technology era. Through digital literacy, Pasionis "Gen Z" are encouraged to improve their communication abilities by becoming adept in digital media. However, based on the initial situation analysis conducted by the Community Service Team (2023), it shows that Pasionis "Gen Z" still lack awareness of the importance of digital literacy. The issues faced by Pasionis "Gen Z" include a lack of awareness about the importance of digital literacy, weak digital communication skills, minimal facilities supporting digital literacy programs, insufficient knowledge on how to enhance communication intelligence through digital media, and a lack of guidance in digital communication. Solutions to these problems involve conducting outreach and workshops to raise awareness about the importance of digital literacy, providing training on how to communicate through digital media, supplying facilities and infrastructure to support digital literacy programs, enhancing knowledge in developing communication intelligence through digital media, and offering guidance in digital communication training programs. The methods used include socialization, training, technology application, guidance, evaluation, and program sustainability. The community service activities were successfully and smoothly carried out, involving responsive Pasionis "Gen Z". The results of the digital literacy seminar demonstrate an improvement in understanding and skills among Pasionis "Gen Z" in becoming proficient in digital media communication.

Abstract

The focus of this research is to present the contribution of the missionaries of the Passionist Congregation in the Nusantara, specifically the West Kalimantan region. The Congregation of Passionists is an institute of consecrated life with papal status in the Roman Catholic Church founded by Saint Paul of the Cross. Missionaries who came to Indonesia came from two provinces, namely Mater Santae Spei from the Netherlands and Pieta from Italy as evangelists in the West Kalimantan region, precisely in Ketapang and Sekadau regencies with an analysis based on the history of the mission. The presence of missionaries in West Kalimantan has made a very extraordinary contribution, related to the development of the faith of the people. The methodology used in this research is a qualitative literary method of documents related to the history of the mission of the Passionist Congregation in Kalimantan. The result to be shown in this study is that the Dayak people in Ketapang and Sekadau Districts in particular were fortunate because of the presence of the Passionist Missionaries where their presence was not only as evangelists but also directly involved in the effort to educate the lives of the Dayaks by establishing schools and scholarship program for children who can afford to go to school.

Abstract

The Church believed that her faith had social relevance. God, who is believed in, is responded to in concrete cultural and political situations. Therefore, the Church is no longer an isolated religious institution but integral to people's life experiences. Currently, the Indonesian nation is not only in a political crisis but also a crisis of political behavior. This crisis is exacerbated because the political elite has no shame in politics. Empirically, it is effortless to find examples of how there is no sense of shame because they have been guilty in society, and most prominently in the attitudes of political elites. It is no secret that many leaders and political elites are guilty of causing various crises, but when appearing in public, they do not show that they are guilty. Thus, this study aims to find the ethical values of the passion story of Jesus based on the Gospel of John. John presents the story of Jesus' passion for showing Jesus' empire as King through His "exaltation" on the Cross. Through this reading, leaders and public officials know and behave as leaders in front of the people. This research is a critical reading of the story of the passion of Jesus so that ethical points are found on how the political elite should act in the public sphere.

Abstract

This article seeks to investigate Martin Heidegger’s ontological philosophy in connection with the symbols of suffering present in the Passionist Congregation and their significance for Christian faith. The article follows a structured literature review approach, examining a range of sources such as Karl Rahner’s Foundations of Christian Faith: An Introduction to the Idea of Christianity, Louis-Marie Chauvet’s Symbol and Sacrament, as well as other works discussing Heidegger’s ontological philosophy like Armada Riyanto’s Relasionalitas and F. Budi Hardiman’s Heidegger and the Mysticism of Everyday Life: An Introduction to Sein und Zeit. Through this analysis, it is revealed that the symbols of suffering within the Passionist Congregation function as a "living body" that allows individuals to engage in contemplation and participation in the suffering of Jesus, ultimately facilitating the internalization of the Gospel’s teachings. Additionally, these symbols play a crucial role in enabling Christians to cultivate a close relationship with God through the suffering experienced by Christ.

Abstract

The main focus of this article is to analyze the role and dominance of elites in the government system in Indonesia in the light of Gaetano Mosca's concept of the "ruling class". The current government situation in Indonesia is dominated by elite groups. The role of elites in determining policy is very dominant. Various policies and decisions are determined by elites who have important status and roles in the government arena. This phenomenon has an impact on the reality of people who do not have a role in government.   Thus, it is the elite who dominate or have power. This is exactly what Gaetano Mosca, an Italian-born sociologist and philosopher who pays attention to politics, calls for. In order to overcome problems arising from the domination of elite groups, there needs to be a reform mechanism. The mechanism is carried out through democratic processes such as elections or through social and political pressure from the masses. Effective reform can bring in more competent individuals into the ruling class, while overthrow can stop the cycle of oppression that is detrimental to the state. The aim of this research is to analyze the role of elites in government in Indonesia, and to see how elites maintain and utilize their power. The method used is literature study using Gaetano Mosca's The Ruling Class as a primary source. This research finds that the dominance of political elites in Indonesia plays a central role in policy formation and determining decisions taken in the government system.

Abstract

Abstrak: Penelitian studi ini memiliki tujuan menelaah pendidikan karakter sebagai fondasi atau titik tolak terwujudnya politik simpatik. Politik simpatik dalam hal ini merujuk pada bagaimana kekuasaan itu diolah dengan baik. Dewasa ini politik seperti itu sedang mengalami degradasi. Fenomena banyaknya kasus korupsi, sikap apatis dan intoleransi di lingkaran para pejabat atau pemimpinan negara mencerminkan situasi melemahnya “roh” politik simpatik tersebut. Tentu saja ada begitu banyak asumsi yang menggarisbawahi alasan dibalik fenomena itu muncul. Menurut penulis peningkatan pendidikan karakter mendesak untuk diimplementasikan. Pendidikan karakter sedapat mungkin dikenal dan didalami setiap masyarakat, terutama generasi muda. Riset ini dilakukan dengan menggunakan metode penelitian kualitatif yakni studi pustaka dengan pendekatan fenomenologis dan ditinjau dari perspektif Filsafat Politik Armada Riyanto. Dari riset ini, penulis menemukan titik dasar apa yang menjadi penopang keberhasilan sebuah politik simpatik yakni melalui pendidikan karakter. Melalui mutu Pendidikan karakter yang baik dan efesien, anak bangsa akan mampu mengaktualkan semangat politik simpatik ini.
