Abstract

Local religions in Indonesia are generally perceived as culture, not religion. The local religious tradition that existed before the world religion was seen as something with a profane dimension, not sacred. As a result, the divine dimension of local religion is denied. This ethnographic research aims to reveal the divinity dimension of local religion by taking a case study of the local religion of Sunda Wiwitan in Cigugur, Kuningan, West Java. The divine dimension of Sunda Wiwitan can be found in a special way in the entire series of Seren Taun ceremonies, namely the thanksgiving ceremony for the harvest as well as the Sunda Wiwitan religious holiday. In prayers, sacred places and times, ritual materials, music, songs and mantras, ceremonial clothing, performers, and sacred figures all manifest the existence of a supernatural figure (God). The dimension of divinity depicted in the local Sunda Wiwitan religion is very relevant and significant for developing an inclusive and appreciative attitude towards the diversity of religious traditions in Indonesia. With it, the promotion of peace and inter-religious harmony is also possible to construct.

Abstract

Abstract The stigma against local religions as heretical teachings and non-official state religion has resulted in their existence being always faced various existential challenges.  It is the experience of the local religion of Sunda Wiwitan in Cigugur, Kuningan, West Java, the case study of this research. It was forced to disband twice in the past. It was a tragic event that Sunda Wiwitan did not expect again. Therefore, the local religion which was formerly known as the Javanese Sundanese Religion (ADS) must find the appropriate strategy for its existence in order to survive. This ethnographic study describes the significance of the Sérén Taun ceremony for the existence of Sunda Wiwitan. The thanksgiving ceremony for the harvest, for Sunda Wiwitan, is not just a cultural representation of the Sundanese agrarian society.  It is mainly as a strategy for survival, a medium for criticism and resistance, as well as a form of public communication regarding its existence. The ceremony, which is full of moral and cultural values from the Sundanese ethnic community, is a way of how Sunda Wiwitan is inclusive of the socio-cultural life in which it is located. The state's appreciation of Sérén Taun by making it an Intangible Cultural Heritage and the involvement of the community in every Sérén Taun ceremony is a sign that Sunda Wiwitan is increasingly being recognized and appreciated. Now the Sérén Taun ceremony is a prototype of how other local religions can survive by exploring and strengthening their roots, namely culture.

Abstract

This paper examines human integrity from the perspective of local religion of Sunda Wiwitan in Cigugur, Kuningan, West Java, Indonesia. We collected research data  using qualitative research strategies through in-depth interviews, participant  observation, and literature research. The complexity of humanity is explored and  internalized by various groups, including indigenous peoples. Human integrity occurs when there is unity between the physical and spiritual aspects. The physicaland spiritual aspects of a healthy and harmonious human being are a marker for humanity that is human (homo humanum) and even has a divine dimension (homo religious). The core of the construction of human integrity in the Sunda Wiwitan Religious Ethics is when there is an attitude of “silih”, or “saling”, i.e, reciprocated acts of kindness toward each other. This attitude is further described as an attitude or behavior of making each other fragrant or silih wangi. This means that humans (must) protect each other’s reputation and do well to others, and that they are motivated to eliminate each other’s weaknesses or shortcomings; humans show themutual behavior of silih asah (meaning that humans educate one another, are willing to share knowledge, understanding, and skills); humans show a mutual caring behavior or silih asuh (humans protect one another, give to each other, help each other in need and distress); humans love one another or showing the behavior of silih asih. This local wisdom related to Sunda Wiwitan humanism is increasingly relevant for today’s global society in reflecting on the meaning and essence of humanity.

Abstract

Tulisan ini adalah respon kritis dan reflektif terhadap situasi implementasi hukum di Indonesia yang cenderung digunakan demi kepentingan politik partisan. Pancasila sebagai nilai filosofis dan ideologi negara Indonesia tentu menjadi dasar dan sumber nilai pelaksanaan hukum, namun dalam beberapa kasus yang terjadi belakangan ini, prinsip tersebut tampak terkikis. Fenomena tersebut tampak dalam hukum yang cenderung digunakan sebagai fungsi instrumentalisasi dan pragmatis untuk mengalahkan lawan politik atau juga melanggengkan dominasi kekuasaan. Fenomena tersebut berpotensi menciptakan apatisme masyarakat terhadap proses penegakan hukum sehingga kehilangan kepercayaan terhadap aparat penegak hukum. Tulisan ini dikaji dengan menggunakan pendekatan filosofis, mengkaji aspek yuridis normatif dengan analisis dan respon terhadap kebijakan dan keputusan hukum, dan pendekatan kritis dengan mempertimbangkan dimensi historis, ideologis, dan sosiologis dalam struktur hukum Indonesia Melalui studi literatur. Penelitian ini penting untuk memperluas wawasan literasi dan diskusi mengenai evaluasi ideologis dalam praktik hukum Indonesia khususnya yang berkaitan dengan nilai Pancasila. Selain itu, untuk memperluas wawasan demi menegaskan marwah nilai hukum yang mempunyai ruh dan integritas dalam nilai Pancasila.

Abstract

Artikel ini mengkaji representasi tubuh perempuan dalam tiga sinema horor Indonesia karya Joko Anwar, yaitu Pengabdi Setan (2017), Perempuan Tanah Jahanam (2019), dan Ratu Ilmu Hitam (2019) yang menempatkan tubuh perempuan dalam dimensi honour (pesona) dan horor (teror). Dalam perspektif fenomenologi agama (Eliade, Otto), teori monstrous feminine (Creed), dan maternal horror (Winda), artikel ini mendeskripsikan bagaimana tubuh perempuan berperan sebagai hierofani yang memunculkan mysterium tremendum et fascinans, simbol pengorbanan, manifestasi kekuatan gaib, dan representasi ambivalensi dalam kosmologi Jawa. Kajian tekstual dan sinematografi mengungkapkan dialektika antara patriarki, trauma kolektif, dan resistensi. Relevansi kajian ini terletak pada kontribusinya pada studi gender dan kultur di Indonesia, di mana narasi horor dalam sinema Indonesia merefleksikan dan membentuk persepsi publik mengenai jati diri perempuan. Tubuh perempuan ditarik dalam dua kutub paradoksal, antara yang sakral dan profan; antara honour dan horor.

Abstract

This study examines the moral and philosophical messages of two ancient Sundanese manuscripts, namely Amanat Galunggung and Sanghyang Siksa Kandang Karesian, then relates them to Unpar's Spirituality and Basic Values ​​known as SINDU. Data were collected using a qualitative research strategy through in-depth interviews and literature studies. Then, they were analyzed based on the theory of intertextuality, namely by examining the messages of each manuscript, comparing them, and seeing the correlation or interdependence between the two. The results of the study show that the two ancient Sundanese manuscripts above are full of humanitarian messages that remain relevant and significant for modern human life. The concept of SINDU, which was born more recently, finds its basis and foundation in the teachings that have long existed in the two ancient manuscripts. This study also reveals the existence of basic human needs for humanitarian values ​​throughout their lives, whether in the past, present, or future. Moral and philosophical values ​​are needed by humans in an effort to make themselves humane and divine. Contribution: It underscores the persistent human need for moral and philosophical guidance across time, enriching both academic understanding and practical applications in promoting humane and divine human development.

Abstract

This article aims to analyze religious moderation within the context of Indonesia’s plural society and to examine the limits of tolerance in religious life. This study originates from the persistence of intolerance amid constitutional guarantees of religious freedom and the growing discourse on religious moderation as a public policy agenda. This study employs a qualitative approach through a literature study and critical-normative analysis. The study integrates constitutional-legal analysis with John Rawls’ theory of reasonable pluralism, Jürgen Habermas’ theory of communicative action, and Karl Popper’s paradox of tolerance. The study analyzes various scholarly works, regulations, and theoretical concepts related to religious moderation, tolerance, and pluralism in democratic societies. The findings show that religious moderation cannot merely function as a moral appeal or an administrative instrument of the state in managing religious diversity. Religious moderation also functions as an ethical-critical framework that regulates the limits of tolerance in order to preserve justice, social cohesion, and respect for citizens’ constitutional rights within a plural society. The study also finds that tolerance without normative boundaries potentially creates space for intolerant practices within society. This study implies the need to strengthen policies and educational practices on religious moderation through more critical, dialogical, and socially just approaches. The originality of this study lies in its effort to position religious moderation not merely as a normative policy, but as an ethical-critical paradigm that bridges constitutional values, social pluralism, and lived religious realities in Indonesia.
