Abstract

The number of adherents of traditional beliefs in Indonesia is approximately 12 million, spread across 27 provinces. However, despite this significant number, they have not yet been recognized by the state as equal to formal religions in the religion column on their Identity Cards (KTP). This study employs a descriptive-qualitative method based on a critical paradigm, using Antonio Gramsci’s theory of hegemony as its analytical framework. The findings reveal that state hegemony began with the consensus to label traditional beliefs as "faith streams" through the Ministry of Religion in 1961. This was followed by political, ideological, and leadership hegemony through various discriminatory laws and regulations targeting those identified as adherents of traditional beliefs. The Constitutional Court's decision to allow the inclusion of “Belief in the Almighty God” in the religion column of the KTP represents a form of resistance to hegemony through intellectual movements.

Abstract

On June 5, 1967, Israel attacked and destroyed the air forces of Egypt, Syria, and Iraq, thereby crippling the Arab nations. This defeat is known as the Six-Day War or the June 1967 War. This loss also transformed Nizar Qabbani from a poet who wrote passionate love poems into a poet who wrote with a knife. This study uses a descriptive-qualitative method based on a critical paradigm. The analytical tool employed is Teun A. Van Dijk’s Critical Discourse Analysis from three dimensions: text, social cognition, and social context. This study reveals that the poem “Hawamisy ala Daftar al-Naksah” textually narrates the condition of the Arab nations post-Arab-Israeli War, where history had changed, and they had been defeated by Israel. In terms of social cognition, Nizar wrote the poem out of the grief experienced by his people. In terms of social context, the poem was written based on the reality of the Arab nations’ defeat by Israel, which brought shame, disappointment, and despair to them. Particularly, it addresses the 50,000 new refugees, the leaders who could only engage in rhetoric, and the silencing of voices through his poems.
