Abstract

The workshop invited each candidate to present her or his topic to colleagues. There followed debate and discussion about the topics, about conceptual complexities, and about the way in which the research of others shed light on each individual topic. Most of the students were at early stages of research (mostly in the first year of candidature), but three were at final stages (Syafi'i Anwar, Fatimah Husein and Saliy White). One candidate, Mohamad Hafiz, is working on the Syariah Court of Singapore. The discussions were vigorous and of great help to all participants.DOI: 10.15408/sdi.v10i1.642

Abstract

Developments in our understanding of Javanese history have displaced a previously influential paradigm about the role of Islam in Javanese society. The view that Islam was marginal was exemplified in Van Leur’s description of Islam as ‘a thin, easily flaking glaze’ or Geertz’s observation that ‘It is very hard … for a Javanese to be a “real Moslem”’.  This paradigm implicitly posited an authentic Javanese culture which was essentially pre-Islamic in origin which limited Islamization. Stereotypes of Javanese culture and of Islam underlay this paradigm. The previous paradigm was mainly formed during the period of abangan prominence. Subsequent developments in Javanese society and new historical research have led to a rediscovery of the important role of Islam in Javanese history, showing the older paradigm to be false and the stereotypes to be unsustainable.DOI: 10.15408/sdi.v21i3.1216
