Abstract

This article examines the criticism of the political model of humanity, namely a critique of the political activities carried out by Twitter NU Garis Lucu against intolerant groups and the government that ignores human values. This twitter displays a style of criticizing and introducing new models of political values on social media, namely through witty sentences and humor across religions, ethnicities, and cultures. This model of politics becomes very important at a time when social sedia is filled with negative and provocative comments and narratives that endanger human values. As a result of this narrative, people are trapped in a rigid understanding, cannot accept differences, and easily judge other Muslims to be wrong when the latter’s opinions do not align with ones own. This attitude in turn leads to an understanding of identity politics based on religion, one that rejects the teaching and symbols of the state, which are in turn considered contrary to the teachings of the shari’a. This research is a descriptive and a qualitative analysis of the many reactions against the NU Garis Lucu twitter handle. The first part relates to the Twitter critique of NU Garis Lucu towards intolerant groups[NP1] . The second relates to the critique that the NU Garis Lucu received with regards to its stance against government and politicians. The results of the study show that the humanitarian politics developed by Twitter NU Garis Lucu by criticizing textual Islamic groups that have the potential to divide the harmony of Islamic society and the birth path of radicalism groups that aspire to uphold Islamic law kaffah. His criticism are manifested in dialogical, witty sentences, with an approach to Islamic teachings that are friendly, tolerant, and accept diversity in religious understanding. He also criticized government policies that were detrimental to the community and politicians who often raised identity politics and ignored its substance in fighting for the interests of the community.Artikel ini mengkaji kritik model politik kemanusiaan yaitu suatu kritik terhadap kegiatan politik yang dilakukan oleh Twitter NU Garis Lucu terhadap kelompok-kelompok anti-toleransi dan pemerintah yang mengabaikan nilai-nilai kemanusiaan. Twitter ini menampilkan gaya cara mengkritik dan memperkenalkan nilai-nilai politik model baru di Media Sosial, yaitu melalui kalimat-kalimat jenaka dan humor lintas agama, suku, etnis dan budaya. Politik model seperti ini menjadi sangat penting pada saat media sosial dipenuhi komentar dan narasi-narasi negatif dan provokatif yang membahayakan nilai-nilai kemanusiaan. Akibat dari narasi tersebut, masyarakat terjebak pada pemahaman yang kaku, tidak bisa menerima perbedaan, dan mudah memvonis orang Islam lain salah ketika tidak sesuai dengan pemahamanya, yang merembet pada pemahaman politik identitas yang berdasarkan agama yaitu suatu paham yang menolak ajaran dan simbol-simbol negara yang dianggap bertentangan dengan ajaran syariat. Jenis penelitian ini adalah deskriptif kualitatif untuk untuk mengungkapkan hasil temuan. Pertama berkaitan dengan kritik twitter nu garis lucu kepada kaum intoleran. Kedua berkaitan dengan kritik Twitter NU Garis Lucu terhadap pemerintahan dan politisi. Hasil penelitian memperlihatkan bahwa politik kemanusiaan yang dikembangkan oleh Twitter NU Garis Lucu dengan melakukan kritikan atas kelompok Islam tekstual yang mempunyai potensi memecah belah kerukunan masyarakat Islam dan jalan lahirnya kelompok radikalisme yang bercita-cita menegakan syariat Islam secara kaffah. Kritikan-kritikanya diwujudkan dengan kalimat bersifat dialogis, jenaka, dengan pendekatan ajaran Islam yang ramah, toleran, dan menerima keberagaman dalam pemahaman agama. Ia juga mengkritik terhadap kebijakan pemerintah yang merugikan masyarakat dan para politikus yang sering mengangkat politik identitas dan mengabaikan subtansinya dalam memperjuangkan kepentingan masyarakat.

Abstract

This paper examines the construction of social identity that occurred in the Chinese society of Indonesian descent. Discrimination and violence against ethnic Chinese are common. So that few ethnic Chinese seem to resign, accept it as fate, or it is an inevitable consequence of being a foreign minority. One can easily, on behalf of an abstract or abstract racial identity and away from the reality of annihilating a neighbor beside his own house, or groups imagined as others (others). People often get caught up in the illusion of a unique and unfettered identity. It is found in this study that identity builds in discourse, and therefore needs to be understood as something formed in historical and institutional spaces, structures constructed by specific discursive practices Tulisan ini mengkaji tentang konstruksi identitas sosial yang terjadi di tengah masyarakat China keturunan Indonesia. Diskriminasi dan kekerasan yang terjadi terhadap etnis China dianggap sesuatu yang biasa. Sehingga tidak sedikit etnis China yang seolah pasrah, menerimanya sebagai takdir, atau merupakan sebuah konsekuensi yang tak terelakkan sebagai golongan minoritas asing. Orang dapat dengan mudah, atas nama identitas ras atau agama yang abstrak dan jauh dari realitas justru menghabisi tetangga yang ada disamping rumahnya sendiri, atau kelompok-kelompok yang diimajinasikan sebagai yang lain (orang lain). Orang sering terjebak ke dalam ilusi tentang identitas yang unik dan tanpa pilihan. Dalam penelitian ini ditemukan bahwa identitas terbangun di dalam diskursus, dan karenanya perlu dipahami sebagai sesuatu yang dibentuk dalam ruang-ruang historis dan institusional, struktur-struktur yang dikonstruksikan oleh praktik-praktik diskursif yang spesifik.

Abstract

This article aims to analyze the availability of facilities for persons with disabilities as well as the challenges in implementing accessible spaces and facilities at the Yogyakarta City Office of the Ministry of Religious Affairs (Kankemenag of Yogyakarta City). This study used a qualitative approach by exploring the social situation related to providing disability-friendly public services in religious institutions. The collected data, both primary and secondary, were analyzed using Miles Huberman's analysis. Based on the observations, Kankemenag of Yogyakarta City provided adequate facilities for persons with disabilities. Some of the facilities available include toilets for the diffable (a person who is differently abled), visitor parking, special service counters, guiding blocks, downhill fields, and wheelchairs. The supporting factors of Kankemenag of Yogyakarta City can provide facilities for service users sourced from internal and external factors. The internal supporting factor found in the field is the commitment and mindset of the head from the Chief to the service officers. Meanwhile, the external factors supporting this case are more about the obligation to meet the requirements to achieve the xcellent Service title. The Ontario Human Rights Commission developed the barriers factor in providing facilities for those with special needs in public service, which consists of attitudinal, architectural, and informational barriers. The diverse scope of the study is strongly recommended to provide a broader picture of providing facilities for persons with disabilities in various places. This study is expected to improve public services in government agencies that are fair and equitable for all levels of society.

Abstract

The article unravels the roles of buyas (charismatic scholar of the community) in coping with confidence issues amongst politicians who competed in the Limapuluh Kota Regency’ 2015 Regional Election in West Sumatra. The study aims to answer the following questions: first, what are the politicians’ motives to seek audience from the buya? Second, what are rituals and statements that the buya provide? As part of a qualitative research conducted within the Regency, the data were collected through in-depth interviews to four buyas and four candidates. The interview results were then analyzed through qualitative approaches. The result of the study indicates that politicians and their canvassers performed ‘political safari’ by visiting buyas upon becoming candidate hopefuls or being pronounced candidates by the Election Committee. It is worth noting that although buyas never rejected any politician or canvasser who wished to meet them, they were never involved in direct campaigns with the candidates or canvassers. In essence, buyas provide politicians a sense of legitimacy at a time when they are losing confidence in themselves. Eventually, as in all political competitions, there will always be victors and losers.

Abstract

This research examines why local identity building was conducted in Osing village, Banyuwangi Regency, East Java, and how this identity was initiated and invested by actors who have power using Islamic political identity. To respond to these questions, this research used the historical method by utilizing primary and secondary sources, such as official archive in form of decrees, interview with historical actors, and various references such as books, journals, and newspapers. This research findings are the following: Osing’s identity was a deliberate blueprint and not a natural continuity. This construction involved cultural practitioners, journalists, artists, intellectuals, traditional figures, and national administrators. Osing’s identity construction, transformation, negotiation, and mobility are the site of the contention of various interest. The attempt of creating a sympathetic and caring reputation of Osing culture represented by almost all of Banyuwangi regent continued from the New Order era until the post-Reformation era, despite various paradigm shifts. This needs to be interpreted as efforts to build identity and not just to eliminate the stigma attached. It has had an impact on political support and legitimacy in Banyuwangi, especially Osing Kemiren Village.

Abstract

This article aims to explain the role of masohi in maintaining relations between the Christian and Muslim communities in the Christian and Islamic villages of Siri Sori, Central Maluku, that witnessed the communal religious conflict in the period of 1999-2004. Post-conflict social relation has the potential for establishing harmony, which is particularly important given the conflict’s tragic impact and complex social implications. This can be achieved through masohi, which embodies local wisdom. Masohi can contribute to peace and conflict resolution between the two communities. The research question in this study is whether masohi can adequately serve as a solution in that context. This research uses a qualitative approach using observation, literature study, and interviews with Christian and Muslim figures from the two communities who have practiced masohi in the Christian and Islamic villages of Siri Sori. All the data about masohi is collected, sorted, analyzed, and reconstructed using culturally-based historical awareness perspective. The results of this study show that: (1) masohi manifests in interfaith cooperation between the two communities in their history culture; (2) masohi has a constructive humanitarian characteristic; and (3) masohi can be preserved to ensure the welfare of the people and to preserve peace sustainably.

Abstract

As ethnic minorities who adhere to the majority belief (Islam), ethnic Chinese Muslims in Jakarta are faced with a complex identity crisis, especially in the area of political participation. In the 2017 Jakarta regional elections (Pilkada), ethnic Chinese Muslims were faced with a political situation, whether to choose leaders from ethnic Chinese or leaders from the Muslim community. This situation puts them in a dilemma. However, ethnic Chinese Muslims have survived the complicated politics of ethnicity, even though regional election politics has caused a crisis of identity politics in Jakarta. Based on the research results, Chinese Muslims in Jakarta were able to survive despite the difficulties caused by their identity. This research is important because there are not many studies that specifically discuss the survival strategies of Chinese Muslims in Jakarta. This research is a socio-political research. To collect data, the methodology used is in-depth interviews with several informants. The results of the interviews and data are then processed using a qualitative and analytic approach. This is done in order to show how the Chinese Muslim ethnic group have survived the complicated political situation in Jakarta
