Abstract

Forum Lingkar Pena (FLP) Makassar is one of the organizations with Islam as its ideology. Its members come from various organization, and therefore this has influenced their perception on the practice of Islamic values in the context of hablumminannas. This article deals with how Islamic values are applied in the every day life of members of FLP and how members of FLP manage to deal with this. It was found that their understanding in the application of Islamic values regarding human relations vary, particularly in regard to the interaction between men (ikhwan) and women (akhwat). The variety of understanding is debated and influences the relation between members of FLP. Those whose background are from WahdahIslamiyahand Hizbut Tahrir Indonesia tend to be rigidly reacted to these differences, while others are more moderate. Some resists and follow the majority and still try to make a difference; others are disappointed, but keep themselves in FLP to respect others’ perception without being active in FLP activities; the rests are resisted and left FLP as a result. However, such differences are common as long as they have the basis of their responsesince FLP promotes unity and harmony among its members. Despite the fact, they basically have the same understanding on the basic principle on the aspects that related to hablumminannas, they are different in the way to practice them, such as, among others, shaking hand, being alone between ikhwan and akhwat, riding between ikhwanandakhwat, using hijab to separate between ikhwan and akhwat. It was argued in this article that their understanding in the application of Islamic values in the interaction between ikhwan and akhwat is greatly influenced by their background and the circumstances.

Abstract

The book review reveals the issue of modernity from James Ferguson’s Expectation of Modernity: Myths and Meanings of Urban Life on the Zambian Copperbelt, which is heartbreaking and heartbreaking.  This well-written and thick seven-chapter book is based on Ferguson’s ethnographic fieldwork in Copperbelt, Zambia, between the 1970s and 1990s. The book introduced what is called the ethnography of decline, a way of understanding people’s point of view about their own experience of social, cultural, and economic ‘advance’ and ‘decline’. It is a very hard task for ethnographers since they must deal with the situation instead of working with people. Related to that, Ferguson also explores a concept called ‘abjection’, a process of being thrown (down) aside, expelled, or discarded. Using this concept, he claims that modernity is quite similar to colonialism, which brings the dichotomy of ‘the West’ and ‘the rest’ where the West is ‘modern,’ and the rest is ‘savage’. Thus, the globalization of the economy brought about by modernization has been experienced as abjection and disconnection, concluding that modernity is no more than a myth that would never exist.

Abstract

This article explores the role of social networks in sustaining traditional retail businesses, with a focus on warung Bugis in Makassar City, Indonesia. The research aims to understand how these networks contribute to the growth and resilience of small enterprises. Through a qualitative approach involving case studies, observations, and interviews, the study examines the factors shaping social and economic interactions among retail traders. Findings reveal that social capital—such as trust, solidarity, and collaboration—is crucial in supporting business resilience. Social networks help traders access resources, share information, and reduce costs while fostering customer loyalty and adapting to modern practices like digital payments and social media marketing. These networks also play a key role in conflict resolution and cooperation among traders, enhancing economic stability. The study highlights the importance of social networks in maintaining competitiveness and offers valuable insights for policymakers to support traditional retail trade in urban areas.
