Abstract

This paper deals with the conflict of Sunni-Shi`a which occurs in East Java. The relationship among them is dominated by contravention, competition / contestation and conflict. The conflict was started from the family to community, from cultural to structural. The contravention occurs during the emergence of Shi`ite community in Madura. When the majority of Madurese community who are mostly Sunni rejected their first existence. For instance, Ali Karrar Shinhaji (The local Ulama) was against the decision of Kyai Makmun to deliver his son, Tajul Muluk, to study at YAPI Bangil that affiliated with Shi`i. The conflict further escalates because of Tajul Muluk’s and Roisul Hukama’s personal problem. Eventually, the conflict thus increases on the higher level in Sampang and in Province level. The conflict occurs because of accumulation of socio-politics, economic and theology that relates one another. This paper examines how the conflict of Sunn-Shi`i emerges, whether it is a pure of family conflict or involves the conflict among the religious authorities in Sampang society. This paper utilizes Myers’ theory combined with Galtung theory on conflict and violence. Galtung introduces the direct, indirect/ structural violence also cultural violence. Through both bibliographical and empirical investigation, this paper finds that the conflict emerges from cultural to structural violence, when the contestation and conflict between Tajul Muluk and Roisul Hukama increase to higher level, from community of Sampang to East Java Province. In addition, this conflict also involves the contestation among religious authorities, when the positivisation of fatwa, which is morally binding, transforms into a public policy of the government that legally binding is the evident of this conflict. This evident that why I call it by from cultural to structural violence.

Abstract

Saat menyebut Banten, paling tidak ada dua hal yang terekam dalam memori kolektif masyarakat. Pertama, Banten adalah salah satu bekas wilayah kerajaan di antara beberapa kerajaan Islam di nusantara yang memiliki peradaban terbuka dan dijadikan lokus persinggahan tidak saja oleh para pelancong lokal tapi juga oleh para pemburu kapital ekonomi dunia dan penjajah; kedua adalah cerita soal elite sosial lokal yaitu kiyai dan jawara yang memiliki pengaruh besar di masyarakat. Paper ini akan mencoba mengeksplorasi pandangan masyarakat di Kalimantan Barat terhadap orang Banten dan cara orang Banten mempertahankan eksistensinya. Meskipun orang Banten di Kalimantan Barat sudah hidup sejak ratusan tahun dan dikenal sebagai etnis minoritas yang hidupnya berbaur dengan etnis lain (tidak berkelompok), artikel ini mengungkap bahwa keberadaan mereka tetap dipandang sebagai orang magis-religious, dalam arti bahwa mereka mempunyai pemahaman agama yang tinggi, berakhlakul karimah, dan mempunyai kekuatan ghaib (magis) yang bisa meringankan setiap persoalan hidup dengan kekuatan supranatural. Di sisi lain, orang-orang Banten di Kalimantan Barat juga masih menggunakan magis. Hal ini karena dua hal, pertama magis masih dipercaya sebagai kekuatan supranatural yang bisa membantu memudahkan mereka dalam setiap kesulitan; kedua, beban psikologis yang melekat pada diri orang Banten yang selalu dianggap sebagai orang yang mempunyai kekuatan magis oleh masyarakat Kalimantan Barat. Adapun pemahaman keagamaan orang Banten berasal dari kepercayaan mereka terhadap kekuatan magis. Praktik-praktik ritual magi orang Banten dilakukan dengan cara beribadah kepada Tuhan yang maha Esa dan berpantang untuk tidak melakukan dosa besar agar kekuatan magis yang mereka miliki tetap berfungsi. Berangkat dari hasil penelitian di atas, peneliti beranggapan bahwa etnis Banten, meskipun merupakan etnis minoritas di Kalimantan Barat dan tidak banyak disebut oleh para peneliti sebagai etnis tersendiri, mereka mempunyai kontribusi yang cukup besar dalam pengembangan Islam dan mempunyai dan kesadaran etnik yang tinggi sehingga tidak mengalami konflik etnik sebagaimana etnik lain di Kalimantan Barat.
