Abstract

This article focuses on examining structur contributions in the community and the participation of local actors in maintaining religious harmony in Kuala Tungkal. This article uses qualitative research methods, data obtained through observation, interviews, and documentation. Data analysis was conducted by following the stages: data reduction, data presentation, and data verification. This article finds that the contribution of the structural approach in maintaining religious harmony is inseparable in managing religious harmony. Structures in society, religious organizations, religious institutions, pesantren, and the government have become systemic networks that can collaborate in social work, especially maintaining religious harmony. This can be maintained if there are local actors who have power and interest in religious harmony. Local actors become an important and strategic consideration as a figure and are considered a person who practices religious teachings and can be a role model for their worshipers. Therefore, this article concludes that the elite-structural approach is not relevant if it is only carried out separately, but must involve local non-structural actors who have complementary roles in mobilizing society and peacemaking.

Abstract

This article aims to analyze the paradigm shift in the study of orientalism through the thoughts of contemporary orientalists such as Karen Armstrong, Annemarie Schimmel, Martin Lings, John Obert Voll, and Charles Kurzman. This article attempts to show how their approaches correct the bias of classical orientalists by offering a more sympathetic, holistic, and internally based perspective on Islam. This research uses a qualitative approach through literature studies with descriptive analysis methods. This study finds that the paradigm shift from classical to contemporary orientalism was triggered by historical, religious, political, cultural, and intellectual factors after the end of colonialism. These contemporary orientalists emerged and brought major contributions such as a humanist approach that emphasizes an empathetic narrative of Islam, a deep spiritual and esoteric understanding of Islam, and a critical analysis of the dynamics of contemporary Islam in responding to modernity and democracy. Together, they challenge the stereotype of classical orientalism by showing the diversity, depth, and relevance of Islam in a global context. This article concludes that the thoughts of contemporary orientalists have represented a new generation of Islamic studies in the West that is fairer and more objective. They not only correct the misperceptions of past orientalism, but also pave the way for a more productive dialogue between Islam and the West. Keywords: Contemporary Orientalism; Classical Orientalism; Paradigm Shift.
