Abstract

Discourse on sensuality in the Nusantara literary tradition always lies at the intersection of the sacred and the profane, the spiritual and the physical. Two monumental texts from two different major traditions the Serat Centhini from Javanese culture and the Kitab Qurrotul 'Uyun from the Islamic pesantren tradition offer a wealth of paradoxical signs of sensuality. This study examines the representation of signs of sensuality in both texts using Ferdinand de Saussure's semiotic approach. The main focus is to identify the signifiers and signifieds that shape the meaning of sensuality and to analyze the forms of contradiction and harmony in the governance of signs of sensuality between the two texts. The research method used is a qualitative approach based on library research with Saussurean semiotic analysis. The results of this study indicate that Serat Centhini employs a metaphorical-poetic strategy with signifiers from the realms of nature, mysticism, and aesthetics (mustikha, Sang Hyang Otapatra, prang tandhing) to envelop biological signifiers, while Kitab Qurrotul 'Uyun employs a more explicit strategy but frames it within a constellation of religious signifiers (intention, prayer, sharia). Both texts reject the dichotomous separation between physical and spiritual realities, dialectically integrating contradictions into transformative harmony. These findings contribute to an understanding of how sensuality is symbolically constructed in the Nusantara literary tradition and offer a constructive model for dialogue between local culture and religious values.

Abstract

This article examines how female preachers negotiate their religious authority through the construction of definitions of the “pious woman” in religious sermons uploaded to YouTube. Using a qualitative approach and Norman Fairclough’s three-dimensional Critical Discourse Analysis, this study analyzes a selection of sermon videos delivered by three female preachers—Ning Sheila Hasina, Ning Nawal, and Ning Khilma Anis—by examining the dimensions of textual construction, discursive practices, and sociocultural practices. The findings indicate that the three female preachers construct the virtuous woman through three distinct registers: Ning Sheila through the framework of fiqh and hadith, Ning Nawal through the taxonomy of the five characteristics of piety, and Ning Khilma Anis through Javanese cultural metaphors. In terms of discursive practice, the three sermons circulated through different production and distribution channels: two of them through institutional redistribution within the Nahdlatul Ulama media network, and the other through an independent live-streaming channel. In terms of sociocultural practice, these sermons address the tension between traditionally inherited norms of wifely obedience and women’s growing economic independence by negotiating—rather than openly rejecting—prevailing patriarchal norms. This study concludes that the religious authority of these three female preachers stems from a combination of textual and scholarly references, the borrowing of legitimacy from senior male clerics, institutional positions, and personal charisma, and operates within an established patriarchal religious structure.

Abstract

This study examines the development of Tapak Suci as an Islamic martial art in Sukoharjo Regency from 1963 to 2024. As part of Indonesia’s intangible cultural heritage, pencak silat functions not only as a form of self-defense but also as a medium for character formation and spiritual cultivation. Tapak Suci Putera Muhammadiyah emerges as a martial arts institution grounded in Islamic teachings, distinguished by its rejection of mystical practices and its emphasis on the purification of faith (aqidah). This research employs the historical method, encompassing heuristic data collection, source criticism, interpretation, and historiography, to trace its developmental dynamics. The findings indicate that Tapak Suci has experienced significant growth in Sukoharjo, serving both as a platform for youth development and as a medium of Islamic propagation (da’wah). The organization not only teaches martial skills but also instills values such as discipline, responsibility, leadership, and the strengthening of faith and morality. Through a rational, systematic, and non-syncretic approach, Tapak Suci has maintained its relevance amid competition with other martial arts schools, while contributing to the formation of a religious and ethically grounded society.

Abstract

The integration of traditional and modern medicine has become a growing concern in the field of healthcare, particularly in the context of healing that involves psychological and spiritual aspects. One traditional approach that has gained attention is Sufi Healing, a method of treatment based on the practices and values of Sufism. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of Sufi Healing and its potential for integration with modern medical approaches. The research employs a literature review method by collecting data from scientific journals, books, online articles, and other credible sources. Sufi Healing is an alternative therapy that has been known since the rise of Islam and Sufism, and is now increasingly studied in the fields of transpersonal psychology and psychoneuroimmunology. This approach emphasizes the connection between spiritual awareness and physical health, demonstrating the interrelation between mind, body, and soul in the healing process.
