Abstract

This study examines the dynamics of power and obedience in the kiai-santri relationship as represented in the Malaysian series Bida'ah, by emphasizing the pesantren institution as a space for the production of symbolic power. The focus of this study is in the realm of sociology of power, media, and religious culture. This research is important because media representations play a role in shaping public perceptions of traditional authority structures in Malay Islam. The research method used is qualitative-ethnographic with a sociological-cultural approach, through narrative observation of the Bida’ah series and in-depth interviews with seven alumni of pesantren salaf in Jember, East Java. The results show that the kiai figure is represented as a symbolic power center with inviolable spiritual-charismatic authority, while santri show structural and emotional obedience within a patron-client framework. Non-verbal communication symbols and a culture of “pekewuh” reinforce this structure of domination. The findings also show symbolic resistance and reinterpretation of values by santri as a form of negotiation against the kiai's authority. This research contributes to broadening the understanding of power relations in traditional Islamic education and how popular media reproduce or criticize these structures. The findings suggest the importance of revisiting the dominant narrative in pesantren culture to be more inclusive of social change and critical thinking.

Abstract

This research is in the field of religious, social, and cultural studies, focusing on marine tourism governance from the perspective of governmentality and the interaction between power, spirituality, and sustainability. Papuma Beach in Jember Regency was chosen as the study location because it illustrates the complexity of coastal tourism management, which is fraught with economic interests and formal power, but on the other hand has a strong spiritual value system in the local community. This research aims to identify the forms of power at work in tourism management and understand how religion plays a role in the production of meaning around sustainability and resistance to technocratic development models. The methods used are a critical qualitative approach with participatory observation techniques, in-depth interviews, and documentary studies. The results show that the dominance of the state and market in the management of Papuma tourism creates cultural dislocation and marginalization of local communities. However, the community has developed various forms of symbolic resistance and alternative practices based on religious values and local wisdom. This study contributes to the development of governmentality theory in a local context and expands the discourse on sustainability by integrating maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah and eco-theology as analytical frameworks. In conclusion, equitable tourism development can only be achieved through participatory governance rooted in community values. These findings are important as a basis for formulating contextual, fair, and locally rooted sustainable tourism policies.
