Abstract

Representasi merupakan penggambaran kembali kejadian yang ada di masyarakat ke dalam sebuah karya, baik tertulis maupun audiovisual. Dalam hal ini, film merupakan karya sastra audiovisual yang dapat mereprensentasikan kejadian nyata yang ada di masyarakat, sebagaimana film ‘A̅shifah Ramliyyah karya Elite Zexer. Film ini diangkat dari kisah nyata yang memperlihatkan kehidupan masyarakat suku Badui di Negev, Israel. Kehidupan sosial masyarakat suku Badui tersebut kemudian menjadi genetika dasar pembuatan film ‘A̅shifah Ramliyyah. Untuk mengkaji genetika dasar film tersebut digunakan konsep dasar teori strukturalisme genetik yakni fakta kemanusiaan, subjek kolektif, dan pandangan dunia pada film ‘A̅shifah Ramliyyah. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mendeskripsikan adanya fakta kemanusiaan, subjek kolektif, dan pandangan dunia pada film ‘A̅shifah Ramliyyah. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode deskriptif analisis dengan teknik pengumpulan data berupa dokumentasi tangkapan layar adegan dan dialog pada film ‘A̅shifah Ramliyyah. Hasil dari penelitian ini adalah ditemukan adanya praktik poligami dan perjodohan anak perempuan yang didukung oleh subjek kolektif sehingga memunculkan pandangan dunia bahwa masyarakat suku Badui masih mempertahankan kebudayaan konservatif.

Abstract

This article discusses the phenomenon of the "Diplomatic Intifada" within the Israel-Palestine conflict and its impact on the global political landscape. This conflict, which has persisted for over seven decades, has its roots in the establishment of the state of Israel in 1948 and continues to evolve through Palestinian resistance, including two major waves of Intifada from 1987-1993 and 2000-2007. This study employs a literature review methodology with a descriptive-analytical approach, integrating sources from books, journals, and academic articles to provide a comprehensive analysis. The purpose of this study to identifies that the development of the Intifada, from non-violent resistance to militant actions,Palestinian organization resistance, has influenced international support for Palestine and intensified diplomatic pressure on Israel. The research findings indicate that the Intifada has evolved from a non-violent resistance movement to a more militant form of struggle, as reflected in Intifada I (1987-1993) and Intifada II (2000-2005). This development has had significant implications for the political and economic dynamics in the region and has shaped international views and support. The article also examines the role of Palestinian resistance organizations such as Fatah, the PLO, and Hamas, as well as the stance of several countries opposing Israel, including the severing of diplomatic relations by nations such as Iran. The study concludes that the "Diplomatic Intifada" has transformed the global political landscape by increasing international pressure on Israel and reinforcing support for the Palestinian struggle.

Data tersebut disajikan dengan metode simak dengan menggunakan teknik dasar sadap yang kemudian dilanjutkan dengan teknik catat. Untuk memastikan keabsahan data, digunakan triangulasi sumber data. Pada tahap analisis data, digunakan metode kontekstual, sedangkan penyajian hasil analisis dilakukan dengan metode informal. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan terdapat empat bentuk honorifik, yaitu bentuk jamak, gelar, permintaan sopan, dan sapaan. Selain itu, ditemukan dua faktor yang memengaruhi penggunaan honorifik, yaitu faktor jarak dan faktor kekuasaan. Faktor jarak mencakup solidaritas, keakraban, dan perasaan antara penutur dan mitra tutur, sementara faktor kekuasaan terkait dengan hubungan hierarkis antara penutur dan mitra tutur.

Abstract

The concept of religious intertextuality involves the integration of selected religious texts, whether from the Holy Quran or the noble Prophetic Hadith, into the original text of a novel. These texts are carefully chosen to harmonize with the narrative context and serve a cognitive or artistic purpose. It is undeniable that the Holy Quran and the Prophetic Hadith are among the most significant sources that both ancient and contemporary novelists have drawn inspiration from, prominently featuring them in their creative works. Consequently, this research aims to investigate the phenomenon of religious intertextuality in Naguib Mahfouz's novel al Qahira al Jadida (Cairo Modern), intending to comprehend the reason for its employment within the novel's texts. The research follows a descriptive-analytical statistical methodology. Among the key findings are that Naguib Mahfouz was significantly influenced by Islamic culture, as evidenced by his extensive incorporation of religious texts from the Holy Quran and the Prophetic Hadith in al Qahira al Jadida. This influence extends to shaping the events and narrative structure, enriching the fictional texts to generate new meanings. The results also suggest that creative writing critically depends on such literary vitality derived from the mechanism of interweaving and blending known texts, known as intertextuality. This process proves to be a crucial and dynamic tool for both authors and readers alike.

Abstract

This study investigates the characteristics of scientific interpretation (tafsir ʿilmī) of the Qur'an in modern Egypt during the twentieth century by analyzing the contributions of prominent Egyptian exegetes who sought to correlate the Qur'anic text with contemporary scientific discoveries. The novelty of the research lies in its qualitative analytical framework that integrates hermeneutical theory with exegetical discourse, filling a critical gap left by previous studies that addressed the phenomenon in broad or narrow regional terms. Employing a qualitative interpretive methodology, the research uses semi-structured interviews and content analysis to examine three prevailing positions: rejectionist, moderate, and expansionist attitudes toward scientific exegesis. The findings reveal significant conceptual diversity among scholars in interpreting scientific references in the Qur'an, reflecting broader implications for the notion of miracle (iʿjāz) and religious epistemology. The study makes a substantial theoretical contribution by proposing a reconstructed model of scientific tafsir that harmonizes textual integrity with modern knowledge, and it outlines practical applications for educational and religious contexts. Ultimately, this work enhances the Qur'an's relevance in addressing contemporary scientific and philosophical challenges, affirming its dynamic capacity for engagement beyond traditional interpretive paradigms.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the impact of regional integration policies on interstate relations and political stability in the Middle East. The main focus of the research includes analyzing the influence of these policies on diplomatic cooperation, political stability, and regional security. Additionally, the study will identify the challenges and obstacles hindering the effectiveness of regional integration and propose strategies to enhance integration with a more inclusive and cooperative approach. To elaborate on the discussion, the author uses regionalism theory. The method used is descriptive-analytical. The study concludes that regional integration in the Middle East faces significant challenges, such as dependence on hydrocarbon exports, which limits the development of industry and the private sector in GCC countries. Economic disparities between wealthy countries like Saudi Arabia and Qatar and poorer countries like Yemen are exacerbated by the migration of young professional workers to the GCC. In addition to economic issues, the region also faces insecurity in food, water, and energy. Internal conflicts, cultural identity differences, and political rivalries often hinder the effectiveness of regional cooperation. To achieve better integration, an approach that involves intergovernmental dialogue, inclusive strategies, and the active participation of civil society and the private sector is required.

Abstract

This study explores coffee shops as third places within the socio-cultural life of Dubai’s urban society, as well as their influence on the development of the coffee industry. Despite not producing coffee beans locally, Dubai has become a center of innovation in the specialty coffee sector. This research employs a descriptive qualitative method, with data collected through literature review and social media observation of several coffee shops in Dubai. The theoretical framework includes the concepts of Third Place and Third Wave Coffee. The findings indicate that the implementation of third place concepts in Dubai’s coffee shops is dynamic, although aspects of social neutrality still present challenges, particularly with the visible expression of cultural identity among Emirati patrons. Nevertheless, modern coffee shops remain inclusive social spaces and extend their third place function into the virtual realm through social media. Government support has also driven the growth of the coffee industry, positioning Dubai as a hub for specialty coffee that blends global innovation with local identity, making coffee shops a symbol of social transformation that still values tradition.
