Abstract

Noorshahril Saat and Azhar Ibrahim (eds). 2020. Alternative Voices in Muslim Southeast Asia: Discourse and Struggle. Singapore: ISEAS Yusuf Ishak Institute.Many scholars in the national and international level have confirmed the conservative Islamic turn in the post of the New Order regime. Nevertheless, to examine this Islamic expression with the conservative interpretation without creating a comparison with the Southeast Asian countries is a problem. In the agency level, whether book translations and circulations, as well as both Islamic thinkers and religious authorities (ustadz), they shape the inter-referencing by looking at each other and referencing one and another as the part of exchange knowledge among the Muslim Southeast Asian. By examining the Southeast Asian countries (Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore), this book that consists of the thirteen writers, explains the wave of Islamic conservatism within Muslim societies. Unlike other works that are only describing the wave, this book offers the alternative voices of those subjects that could resist with their ways.

Abstract

Eva F. Nisa. 2023. Face-Veiled Women in Contemporary Indonesia. London and New York: RoutledgeMost studies of face-veiled Muslim women are placed in the stereotype discourse; a part of subordination or terrorist group affiliation. Many scholars also argue that those women’s bodies are exploited under the patriarchal structure and its religious interpretation with the dominant male’s perspective. Eva F. Nisa in this book has proposed a different perspective, employing ethnographic research and taking a case study of two women communities of Islamic revivalist backgrounds (Jamaah Tabligh and Salafi Movement) in Indonesia. Throughout developing from Saba Mahmood’s theory of the politic of piety mostly, Nisa found that the Islamic lifestyle is the firm argument among the cadari, in which they practice the term of taat, which is part of a discursive tradition in Islam, to strengthen their path in the true path of Islam.

Abstract

Scholarly inquiry into Islamic populism in Indonesia has distinctly bifurcated into two primary domains. The first is a comprehensive examination of political issues that explores various perspectives, including political identity, agency, and the influence of political figures. The second domain focuses on the impact of digital platforms, particularly how the proliferation of hoaxes and disinformation plays a critical role in shaping political identities during elections. Unlike previous studies, this article employs Gerbaudo’s concept of elective affinity to elucidate the interconnection between populism in political science and the dynamic realm of social media. These forces generate the political sentiments that shape Islamic populism in Indonesia. Specifically, this article conducts a nuanced analysis, utilizing the presidential elections of 2014 and 2019, as well as the 2017 Jakarta gubernatorial elections, as comprehensive case studies.

Abstract

Not only change the landscape of popular culture, but the presence of social media also reshapes the structure and the agency. Nowadays, social media can turn ordinary people to celebrities. Using Instagram and YouTube, Ria Ricis has become a piety celebrity who shows her Islamic identity through Islamic performance by wearing the veil in a casual way and earns money from her uploaded videos in social media. Based on a case study of this figure, this paper raises questions related to Islamic popular culture in Indonesia: How does Indonesian define their public sphere currently amid the growth of social media usage? How does Indonesian Muslim respond to social media as a part of digital technology amidst Islamization in the post of an authoritarian regime? What is the possibility of tension for that young Indonesian Muslim as micro-celebrity while facing the three factors related, Islamic identities, enjoyment, and economic benefits? This paper argues that the new media platform has not only affected Indonesian Muslims' lifestyles, but also the way in which they negotiate Islamic values, secular life, and economic interest.

Abstract

In the early years of Reform Era, Islam in Indonesia was portrayed as the representation of moderate Islam. While some scholars argue that Islam in Indonesia has strong ties with religious commodification, Indonesia also often presented as the best practice where Islam could work with democracy. At that time, even Islamist groups were never really considered as a real threat to Indonesian democracy, mainly because their activities were mostly described as fragmented and sporadic. In that context, the Jakarta election brings new dynamic as part of the discussion on Islamization in Indonesia after the fall of the New Order. The blasphemy case of Ahok has become a trigger for a series of demonstration that illustrates the strength of political Islam ideology in shaping current Indonesian public sphere. To discuss these recent developments the article revisits the discourse of Islamization in Indonesia. We argue that intertwine between commodification of religious symbols, the use of new media, and political interest serves as the background of the unholy alliances between religious elites and political entrepreneurs in Jakarta election. As a consequence, the event of the Jakarta election has become a critical juncture where the emergence of Islamic populism has threatened both the notion of Indonesian democracy and the existence of moderate Moslem as well.

Abstract

This article examines the concept of Islam Transformatif as espoused by Moeslim Abdurrahman, situated within the socio-political context of the Suharto regime. This period witnessed economic growth that overshadowed systemic poverty among Indonesian Muslims. To construct a social justice framework that advocates for the lower classes Abdurrahman reinterprets Marxist perspectives through Islamic lenses, resulting in a transformative Islamic theology known as Islam Transformatif. This study situates this concept within the broader discourse of Islamic liberation theology, emphasizing its response to economic inequality and structural class struggles that have been marginalized in Indonesian social science debates. Abdurrahman’s approach not only broadens the discussion of Islamic liberation theology but also critiques the dearth of political economy perspectives in the study of Indonesian Muslim societies. As a Southeast Asian thinker, Abdurrahman universalizes social science beyond the Eurocentric framework, discussing contemporary issues such as poverty amidst terrorism, redefining hijrah in the context of exploitation, and encouraging Muhammadiyah and Nahdlatul Ulama to adopt Islam Transformatif in combating oligarchical and predatory politics. This concept remains a relevant and important knowledge framework for addressing socio-political challenges in contemporary Indonesia.

Abstract

For the victims of atrocities, the past is not the past: it remains a trauma. The more they try to forget, the more entrenched their memories become. Hence, memory is a means for sustaining their quest for justice—a way victims and their advocates can keep faith in their pursuit of truth, accountability and legal restitution. Unlike the situation during the Suharto presidency when the Indonesian people were silenced, this paper is now able to examine the memories, now articulated, of the people affected by the Tanjung Priok tragedy, which have appeared since Suharto’s fall. This gives momentum to a new phase of political development in which Indonesians, particularly the victims of violence, may break their silence to pursue justice. The following questions need to be asked: what are the circumstances that have encouraged the victims to articulate their memories in the 17 years since Suharto’s departure? In what way have they kept their memories fresh? This paper argues that the main reason they articulate their memory is because of the traumas that always haunted them during the Suharto presidency. The trauma and injustices experienced; the torture, gaol, and the stigma attached to them by the Suharto regime’s propaganda, all ensured that the general Indonesian social memory of the events at Tanjung Priok was false and distorted. But those sites of memory, the rites, monuments, and memoirs served to strengthen the articulation of those memories to enable some redress after Suharto regime had ended.
