Abstract

This article aims to describe the construction of the political identity of the santri community in the context of the 2024 General Election, highlighting the increasing visibility and influence of santri figures in Indonesia’s political landscape. This research adopts a qualitative descriptive approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation, using snowball and purposive sampling techniques to select santri political figures who participated in the 2024 legislative elections. The validity of the data was ensured through source triangulation, and analysis was conducted using an interactive model involving data reduction, presentation, and verification. The findings reveal that santri political figures construct and display their identity—rooted in pesantren affiliation, kinship ties, and organizational networks—as strategic representations to gain political legitimacy. The research identifies three dominant identity patterns: traditional pesantren-based santri, Muslim intellectuals with academic backgrounds, and Nahdlatul Ulama (NU)-affiliated santri activists. These identities are performed through campaign activities, media engagement, and symbolic religious attributes. These findings contribute to the expanding discourse on religion and politics in Indonesia, particularly the strategic role of religious identity in political branding. The study offers practical insights for political practitioners and enriches scholarly understanding of identity construction within Islamic communities. Its originality lies in mapping santri political identity construction during a contemporary national election, an area underexplored in previous studies.

Abstract

This study aims to describe and analyze the construction of holistic health in Sufi dance, which is considered a human effort to preserve the soul. Holistic health, in anthropology, is a social phenomenon associated with the terminology of illness. Anthropology observes various practices related to how society responds to illness and how to overcome it. Sufi dance is known as a model of healing modified from human-produced art. This study used in-depth interviews and observation as data collection techniques. Through a symbolic analysis typical of anthropology, it was concluded that Sufi dance can function as therapy to build holistic health. There is a close connection between medicine, magic, and religion. Sufi dance is believed to have a health-promoting effect on the performers when they are in a trance state. The Sufi healing process occurs through the stages of bidayah (initiative), namely takhalli, tahalli, and tajalli. In Islamic culture, Sufi dance practices are part of human efforts to implement the maqasid sharia through self-care, which they carry out in Sufi dance practices as Sufi healing. These practices resulted from cultural developments that did not originate from the framework of modern medicine but rather from the framework of classical medicine in the past.
