Abstract

Community empowerment emerges to be a keyword in Indonesian government programs for alleviating poverty and promoting development. Empowerment is defined as a process to realize the ability and enhance manpower to act and reason. Therefore, there is always a process of learning that is recognized as education. According to the Law Number 20 of 2003 on National Education System, the government holds education through three education models, namely: formal, non-formal, and informal education. This present study aims to analyze aspects of education in the context of community empowerment programs organized by the government in Karangdawa, Setu Patok, Mundu Sub-district, Cirebon Regency. The theory of strategy proposed by Henry Mintsberg was employed in this study. This theory highlights five aspects for exploring the strategies of education in terms of community empowerment, including plans, ploys, patterns, positions, and perspectives. The research findings reveal that the managed education strategies were categorized into the low level in relation to the plan, ploy, pattern, position, and perspective strategies. The planning of educational activities were carried out by using a top-down approach. This approach demonstrated inflexible patterns in working, did not involve a community as a group target in all the education models. Likewise, the government agencies, playing the role as the agents of education programs, worked individually focusing on their own targets without coordinating for considering the attainment of each program in terms of the community empowerment in a certain area. Based on the position and perspective strategies, the government was very low to deem both internal and external situations as a result of the government’s paradigm in viewing the community empowerment that was merely human-oriented.

Abstract

Humans and culture are two things that are interrelated and cannot be separated from eachother. Religion and music are two things that have a relationship with culture. Religiousmessages and da'wah are often displayed in the packaging of musical art and bring religiousmusic. The development of music in Indonesia in the past two decades gave rise to one ofthe dangdut music sub-genres, known as Koplo dangdut, which in its performance also ofteninserted religious messages and presented them in the religious Koplo dangdut format. Thisarticle examines Koplo dangdut as the cultural identity and religious expression of coastalcommunities, which is seen as a cultural reality, with an anthropological approach. The studyis conducted with an ethical perspective, where the writer only observes without beingdirectly involved in the object of observation. The main data in this study is the religiouskoplo dangdut music video from YouTube. Koplo dangdut, which is famous for its vulgarityand directness in the lyrics of the song, reflects the cultural conditions of the song performerswith a background in coastal Javanese society. However, the religious side of the Koplo dangdutmusic genre still appears in the religious koplo dangdut sub-genre. Religious expressions thatappear in the stage of religious koplo dangdut are artistic expressions which include dimensionsof belief (ideology), experience (ahlak), and knowledge.

Abstract

This present study aims to investigate the essence and values of moderate Islam and internalize them in the process of education. The research findings are expected to be able to contribute a wide range of knowledge as one of alternatives to prevent and overcome symptoms of extreme and radical actions in students’ religious activities. It was a qualitative descriptive study by employing library research. This study highlights the imbalance between the concept of Islamic teachings demonstrating moderate values and the actions eroding the moderate Islamic values. Education plays a pivotal role to bring the image of peaceful Islam back by internalizing the moderate Islamic values in the process of education. The results reveal that (1) moderate Islam refers to a form of Islam that emphasizes the values of moderation between the ‘left-wing extremist group’ (liberal group) and the ‘right-wing extremist group’ (fundamental group) in implementing Islamic teachings; (2) moderate Islamic values include the values of tolerance in showing attitudes, the value of tolerance in respecting diversity, the value of inclusiveness in accepting something new with lots of strengths, the value of logic and flexibility in understanding texts, the value of relevance in interpreting texts by deeming their contexts, the value of innovation in solving problems that the answers have not been stated in the texts yet, and the value of social transformation; (3) the process of internalization covers three stages, namely: the stages of value transformation, value transaction, and trans-internalization. The first stage copes with the process that is carried out by teachers in informing the values of moderation conceptualized in Islamic teachings. The next stage promotes that the values of moderation are interactively communicated between teacher and students. The last stage suggests that familiarizing behavior and actions that represent the moderate Islamic values is performed through not only verbal communication, but also mentality and personality.

Abstract

There are problems of islamic jurisprudence existing in society, but Qur'an and hadith as the references of shari'a are keep stagnant. Text of Qur'an and hadith are stagnant-without development, while the problems of jurisprudence are still growing. In fact, it is impossible to leave the problems without a solution. In that context, like other Islamic organizations, Nahdhatul Ulama (NU) actively issues religious fatwas. In order to keep the religious fatwa still based on the islamic law, NU has established a procedure of bahtsul masail, which is a scientific forum to respond the problems of jurisprudence, both individual and public jurisprudence related to public affairs. In delivering fatwa or answering the problems of jurisprudence, NU likely only picks up old Jurisprudence reference which are relevant to the problems. However, NU is allowed to perform ilhaqul masa'il binadhairiha, even istinbath in jama'i if the problems of Jurisprudence which can not be solved with the old Jurisprudence reference.

Abstract

The increased number of hijabi women (women who wear hijab) in Indonesia presents changes in religioussocio-political lanscape of Muslim community in Indonesia. For hijabi, hijab is a technology for the self. It represents one’s identity through performance. Beside religious identity, hijab does explain hijabi’s social and economic status in the society. Especially with the growth of hijab industry, hijab becomes part of lifestyle. Tradition has now developed more into fashion. There emerge several hijab communities initiated by young hijabis to promote hijab trough popular culture. Looking through the phenomenon of hijab from this lense, it could be argued that hijab does not necessarily express hijabi’s religiosity and spirituality. Given certain contexts and meanings, each hijab style explains hijabi’s identity becoming instead of identity being. This paper discusses hijab focusing on two main concerns; first discussion relates to hijab and identity formation and the second relates to hijab and regulation of women’s bodies.

Abstract

Despite having rapid economic development, the ASEAN region is not completely stable and peaceful. Conflictshave been going on since long before the ASEAN is established. They happen in Myanmar, Thailand, andPhilippines. A smaller scale of conflict also takes place in Indonesia. The view that security comes first before theinvestment has made it difficult to achieve peace and stability based on economic instruments. In this article, thewriter proposes a view that Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) can be utilized as an important instrument in boostingpeace and stability provided that the civil society sustains it. Two case studies are presented to show the relationshipbetween FDI, civil society, and peace development in the conflict area, Myanmar and Philippines. It is recommendedthat civil society actively makes efforts to encourage FDI to come to the conflict are and establish capital-intensiveindustries, especially in Rakhine and Mindanao.

Abstract

The relationship of power and resistance against it has been widely discussed as an intellectual discursive debates. However, resistance groups against the theological authority is off the debate. This paper analyses the resistance movement of Salawah Wahidiyah (SW) in the face of the erroneous fatwa by the Assembly of Indonesia Ulema (MUI). With the analysis of power relationships, knowledge, and resistance, this paper finds that SW is fighting against the misguided fatwa of Tasikmalaya MUI which is carried out as the majority of theological hegemony to defend the doctrine and amaliyah as well as to reject the deviating claim. This is all done to maintain the freedom to believe and practice the teachings of an inside democracy which guarantees and protects the right of religious freedom. Ironically, the resistance of SW in Tasikmalaya was not able to replicate the success of the Centre SW in conducting resistance against NU figures. SW Tasikmalaya failed to reconcile the differences of religious views with MUI. As a result, the motion of SW became limited because it is still stigmatized as deviant.
