Abstract

Tulisan ini bertujuan mendiskusikan agama di era postmodern, dengan fokus pertanyaan bagaimana menjadi muslim dan memahami Qur’an di era post-modern. Memakai pemikiran Don Cupitt, dalam beberapa karyanya, tulisan ini berargumen bahwa mengandaikan Tuhan telah mati merupakan jalan alternatif memahami Qur’an agar lebih kontekstual diaplikasikan dalam kehidupan masyarakat muslim di era postmodern. Signifikansi utama tulisan ini adalah memberikan kontribusi alternatif dalam dimensi filosofis kerangka berpikir kontekstualisasi Qur’an.  ---------------This article aimed to examine the Cupitt’s conception in the light of Islamic paradigm. It is done by identifying negative impacts of postmodernism toward the existence of religion. Religion, in Don Cuppit view is alive in the term of “value”, “private realm”, “personal faith” and “counterculture”. Although Islam came from hundreds centuries ago, it does not mean that authentic Islam is Islam in the past. Islam in the past, Islam in the present and Islam in the future are different. Islam is not timeless doctrine, but changeable expression. Time is running; and Islam demanded to contextualize itself dynamically.

Abstract

The political dynamic of village in Indonesian New Order has two faces. On onehand, it is conditioned by the feudalism of village’s leader which is monopolizedfrom one generation to other generations. On the other hand, religion can be analternative to challenge this feudalism. I explore this condition through an examinationof the role of kalebun (the village’s leader) and kiai in a non-pesantrenvillage in Madura, Indonesia. In Madura society, kiai and its pesantren take importantrole in the process of Islamic institutionalization. Yet, in this case, theabsence of pesantren enforces the kiai to be counter-balance of the feudalism ofthe kalebun. And, the kiai claims that this counter-balance is on behalf of democracy.This article concludes with a discussion of the requirement of democracy in “Islamic” local politics as well as in search of good local governance in postIndonesian New Order.Dinamika politik desa pada masa Orde Baru menghadapi dua realitas antagonis.Di satu sisi, pemerintahan desa dimonopoli oleh generasi tertentu yang melahirkanrezim feodal. Seorang Muslim, di lain sisi, berpotensi menjadi elan vital perlawananterhadap feodalisme tersebut. Tulisan ini berupaya menggali dua kenyataantersebut melalui analisis kepemimpinan kalebun (kepala desa) dan kiai di sebuahdesa non-pesantren di Madura, Indonesia. Pada jamaknya, dalam masyarakatMadura, kiai dan pesantren memiliki peranan penting dalam prosesinstitusionalisasi Islam. Namun, dalam studi ini, ketiadaan pesantren, membuatkiai (dengan langgarnya) berusaha membendung arus feudalisme kalebun. Sebuahtemuan menarik bahwa perlawanan sang kiai tidak atas nama Islam, tetapi demitegaknya demokratisasi di desa.
