Abstract

The lack of research on literary elements in "babad" is in line with the limited study of Islamic elements within this genre. This research aims to analyze the Javanese poets' depictions of Islam in "Babad Tanah Jawi" and "Babad Giyanti." The study operates under the assumption that "babad" as literary works can allegorically create a contested space where Islam interacts with other traditions. A qualitative paradigm with a comparative structural approach is employed in this study, focusing on the narratives that shape the author's understanding of Islam in the 18th century. The findings of this research reveal that the court poet's portrayal of Islam in "Babad Tanah Jawi" shares similarities with another work in the same genre, "Babad Giyanti." These commonalities encompass the utilization of Islamic verses in the "bhabuka" text and "asmaul husna," the depiction of "walisongo's" role, the practice of "tawajjuh," moral Islamic teachings, and the political positioning characterized by ambivalence and negotiation among different traditions.

Abstract

This paper is to figure out R. Ng. Yasadipura I’s poe(li)tical imagination of Islam in Babad Tanah Jawi. The ‘politics’ is defined not merely as instrumental utility, but intertwined with ‘poetics’, an aesthetic strategy which allegorically unveils an interpretation of the undecidability of  Islam as central Islam or peripheral Islam, as Arabia Islam or Javanese Islam. Based on the biographical and structural approaches, this article attempts to analyze textual, ideological, and religious traces of this 18th century Javanese Muslim bhujangga and its relation to the way he describes Islam in Babad Tanah Jawi. Yasadipura I is a political subject, since he describes Islam not merely as a religious consensus, but also dissensus to other identities. This dissensus is partly a logical consequence of—using Jacques Rancière’s term—Yasadipura I’s ‘class migration’, ranging from Muslim student (santri) from Kedu, royal advisor (menteri) of Surakarta court, to prolific writer and translator of Hindu-Buddhist kakawin and Islamic Malay suluk.

Abstract

This study examines the relationship between Islam and Javanese in the illustration of the Serat Ambiya manuscript in the collection of the Sonobudoyo Museum with collection number L 12 PB A. 180. This manuscript is a pesantrenan category manuscript made in 1844 AD. This research uses a phenomenological approach. The material object of the research is the illustration of the female figure in the manuscript. The research focus focuses on 12 selected illustrations which are felt to represent illustrations of human figures in the manuscript.The results of the study show that the illustration of the human figure in Serat Ambiya shows elements of Islam and Java. This can be seen from the depiction of figure illustrations adapted from wayang characters. The female characters are depicted in kemben, like Javanese wayang, but some of these figures have green faces. The use of green color on the face in the illustration of the green color script reflects the piety of a character, in contrast to the meaning of the green face in wayang. While the position of the protagonist and antagonist is in accordance with the wayang stage, namely the main protagonist is always on the right side of the audience, while the antagonist is on the left side. This causes the human figures in the illustrations of the Serat Ambiya manuscript to contain Islamic and Javanese visual elements.
