Abstract

The growing revival of religious sentiments in the past few decades exposes serious faults in the explanatory power of the so-called modernization theories, urging social scien- tists to seek new avenues in understanding the phenomena. The article focuses on the way the present character of religious fundamentalism needs to be understood not as a form of traditionalism but as one of the springboard effects inseparable from hybrid modernity. In particular, it highlights the tension between religious fundamentalism and democracy as revolving around at least two points. One is the antinomy between diver- sity as the sine-qua-non of democracy and the absolutist tendency of fundamentalist beliefs, and the other a collision between the secular and sacral conceptions of sovereignty. By learning from the debates on the place of religion in the public sphere, the article outlines some points for the prospect of co-existence between religion and democracy.

Abstract

The Ahmadiyya religious group has been present in Indonesia since the 1920s. The reli- gious group is divided into two different subgroups, namely Gerakan Ahmadiyah Indone- sia (GAI) and Jemaat Ahmadiyah Indonesia (JAI). In the reform era, the JAI community has to face a less favorable situation. The Heresy Fatwa issued by Majelis Ulama Indonesia (MUI) in 1980 had put this group into an even more difficult position. The reform era government seemed to give a greater opportunity for anti-Ahmadiyya dominant Islamic groups to commit violence towards this group. JAI communities in various areas expe- rienced various forms of discrimination and violence, such as the closure of mosques, assaults, and expulsions. Dealing with this situation, JAI,with their belief of peaceful Islam, tried to develop persuasive cultural approaches to survive and subsequently to be accepted by the society. This article aims to analyze JAI as a new social movement based on their cultural approaches to maintain their existence in the society. These efforts reflect the occurrence of the revival of collective identity, which also becomes the characteristic of this movement.

Abstract

Jilbab or veil is a special cloth in Islam religion, particularly for women. The users are increased significantly in a recent decade in Indonesia. Not to mention also the issue about using of veil in higher education is important in which the discourse about religion is getting easier for being spread by Islamic activists. This article attempts to explain that the phenomenon of differentiation about variation of using veil that occur in campuses is because the differentiation of legitimation from the variation group in Islam itself; Tarbiyah, Hizbut Tahrir Indonesia (HTI), and Salafi. The main argument from this article is that jilbab or veil being used because the context of teology or a form of commitment to the religion which being manifestated in each of the groups. Jilbab is eventually not only being used because of the commitment in teology, but also because of the conformity that is done by a person, so that she can be accepted socially by each variation groups that has been mentioned. Research method that being used is qualitative research which tries to depicts the variation of using jilbab or veil in higher education as it becomes symbol from the variation in Islam (HTI, Salafi, andTarbiyah) which also conduct collective identity. The implication is that there is social boundaries from one group to other groups which suffered contestation, yet there is no serious conflict between them as the individuals inside those groups are already being educated.

Abstract

Nowadays, technological innovations and sciences have reached the stage of modification and improvement of the capacity of the human body. This technology varies from prosthetic devices, implants, plastic surgery, drugs, genetic engineering, nanotechnology, and others. Several previous studies have shown that the advancement of this technological intervention has created a consumer culture of human enhancement products and services, for instance, non-therapeutic drugs. However, previous discussions about human enhancement products and services failed to provide further explanation on morphological freedom from the perspective of consumer culture. Morphological freedom is an individual right to modify or otherwise, refuse to modify one’s physical form that manifested in the use of human enhancement technology (HET). Provided the circumstances, this study aimed to discuss morphological freedom in the consumption of non-therapeutic drugs from one perspective of consumer culture framework, which is ‘imagination, joy, and satisfaction from consumption’. This study which used case study method on 9 people ranging from 16 to 30 years of age has generated three arguments. First, morphological freedom emerges after a condition called morphological consciousness. Second, in the context of Indonesian consumer society, morphological freedom is justified by individual religious norms and values. Third, morphological freedom produces a consumer culture of non-therapeutic drugs that manifested in a form of lifestyle.

Abstract

After 1998 Reformation, Indonesia has been experiencing democratization and decentralization. Among others, general election for local government (pemilukada) since 2005 is an implementation of democratization and decentralization. Although democratization in Indonesia was praised by some researchers, many others also figured out some corruptive actions in the democratic process. Warren’s conception about democratic corruption helped us to understand the paradox of post-Reformation democratization and decentralization. According to Warren, corruption in a democracy is a duplicitous exclusion that gives an advantage to few parties in the expense of the others who are excluded from the process of decision-making and collective action. However, the author suggests that there is incompleteness in Warren’s conceptualization when he identified the location of corruption that is differentiated in a democratic regime. Warren identified only four locations of corruption, that is the state, public sphere, civil society, and market. Took local elections in Lampung as a case study, this article identified other location, that is the political party. This article argues, corruption of democracy in the political party is indicated primarily by political party’s centralism in recruiting and selecting local leader candidates.

Abstract

This article discusses about the process of identity reconstruction of actor in KISS community in the era of cultural globalization. Using a qualitative method and Zygmunt Bauman’s concept of liquid modernity and moral agency as framework analysis, this study shows how the construction of moral identity process begins with the actor disquite over the state of traditional culture in globalization era. The author argues that the expression of the identity of actor through this social movement will create the role of cultural diversity in the era of cultural globalization and liquid modernity. The author wants to move away from an agentless view of globalization process by viewing at the dynamics of the agency. Through agents and the form of moral agency, the author also argues that in the process and impact of globalization, people are not retained on the condition of “is” or structural pressure, but their is an optimism to see any hope on the condition that “should” or a better from an identity consciousness and morality
