Abstract

This study examines the paradox of ‘dalihan natolu’, the Batak kinship system: how a hierarchy based on inherited roles produces egalitarian relationships whilst simultaneously underpinning religious moderation. This paradox is difficult to explain through John Rawls’s liberal theory of justice, which is grounded in individualism and the equality of basic freedoms, and thus regards ascriptive hierarchies as the antithesis of justice. Building on Rawls, this study interprets the dalihan natolu through the paradigm of relational justice and the theory of reciprocal exchange, asking: through what mechanisms and within what limits can different roles produce fairness and equality? Data were collected qualitatively through in-depth interviews, participatory observation and audiovisual content analysis. The findings reveal asymmetrical equality: rotating reciprocal obligations counterbalance an advantage in one relationship with a subordinate position in another, preventing hierarchies from solidifying into permanent domination. This mechanism transcends religious divides, whilst leaving gender tensions and the burden of customary obligations unresolved. Dalihan natolu challenges the liberal assumption that ascriptive roles preclude justice, whilst simultaneously promoting inter-religious, kinship-based religious moderation.

Abstract

This study examines how contemporary state policies are transforming the traditions and identities of Muhammadiyah and Nahdlatul Ulama (NU), and how both organisations are responding to and negotiating these changes in public life. Drawing on Foucault’s concept of governmentality, Talal Asad’s thesis on the state’s construction of ‘religion’, and coercive isomorphism, this qualitative study—comprising interviews, observation and document analysis—examines policies such as religious moderation, the Pancasila ideology and the regulation of civil society organisations. The findings indicate that the state acts not only as a regulator but also as a normative and discursive force that limits the legitimacy of religious practices; the identities of Muhammadiyah and NU tend to converge towards the state-sanctioned discourse of ‘moderate and nationalist Islam’, although both continue to adaptively preserve their traditional characteristics. This research enriches the theory of religion-state relations by highlighting the governmental and discursive dimensions of religious regulation.

Abstract

Sego wiwit, as an agrarian tradition of Javanese society, has so far been studied merely as a cultural description, despite its great potential as teaching material for international students. International students require contextual material rooted in local culture to explore the transformation of cultural meanings, particularly within the sego wiwit tradition. This study aims to examine the history, ritual processions, symbols and philosophy of sego wiwit, as well as its relevance to the socio-cultural life of the community and to the education of international students. Research data, collected using a qualitative descriptive approach with ethnohistorical methods, was obtained through observation, in-depth interviews and documentation, and analysed using an interactive model. The research findings indicate that ‘sego wiwit’ functions as a medium of symbolic communication representing the harmonious relationship between humans, nature, and the community’s spirituality. Cultural and religious negotiation through the reinterpretation of ritual meaning—as an expression of gratitude and social solidarity—serves not only as a cultural heritage but also holds potential as learning material for international students based on local culture and for strengthening intercultural literacy.
