The aim of this journal is to provide a platform for critical and constructive dialogues on social (sciences) and cultural studies. Not only being named after the most prominent cleric of Ponorogo, Kiai Ageng Muhammad Besari, the besari also derives from basyari (ar: humanist); therefore, this journal is established to interrogate and scrutinize as well as support what human means and plays roles as a social and cultural being, beyond geographical, communal, or disciplinary boundaries. Hence it provides a chance for academics, researchers, practitioners, and any scholars to publish original research articles or review articles in the social and cultural fields.

Abstract

Pendirian Kadipaten Ponorogo (1486 M) merupakan hasil resolusi konflik antara Raden Batoro Katong (Kesultanan Demak) dan Ki Ageng Kutu (Wengker) yang dipicu oleh perbedaan keyakinan dan perebutan hegemoni politik. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis model rekonsiliasi hibrida yang diterapkan Raden Batoro Katong untuk mencapai perdamaian dan persatuan pasca-konflik. Metode yang digunakan adalah penelitian historis dengan tahapan heuristik, historiografi kritis, dan interpretasi, yang membedah data menggunakan kerangka teori resolusi konflik modern. Kajian ini menyimpulkan bahwa model rekonsiliasi Batoro Katong meliputi dua jalur utama: strategi politik yang diwujudkan melalui negosiasi, penggunaan taktik kuat, dan pembentukan kabinet rekonsiliasi; serta strategi ideologis yang diimplementasikan melalui Islamisasi kultural yang damai. Upaya ini menjadi solusi untuk mengakhiri perang, sekaligus fondasi struktural dan kultural identitas kolektif masyarakat Ponorogo. The establishment of Ponorogo Regency (1486 AD) was the result of the conflict resolution between Raden Batoro Katong (Demak Sultanate) and Ki Ageng Kutu (Wengker) which was triggered by differences in beliefs and the struggle for political hegemony. This study aims to analyze the hybrid reconciliation model implemented by Raden Batoro Katong to achieve post-conflict peace and unity. The method used is historical research with heuristic stages, critical historiography, and interpretation, which dissects the data using the framework of modern conflict resolution theory. This study concludes that Batoro Katong's reconciliation model includes two main paths: a political strategy realized through negotiation, the use of strong tactics, and the formation of a reconciliation cabinet; and an ideological strategy implemented through peaceful cultural Islamization. This effort became a solution to end the war, as well as a structural and cultural foundation for the collective identity of the Ponorogo people.

Abstract

The digital age has fostered the emergence of virtual marriage, posing unprecedented legal and socio-cultural challenges. This study examines the socio-cultural implications of digital marriage and analyzes the transformation of ritual meaning in the era of mediatization. Utilizing a qualitative approach with thematic analysis and case studies from various Indonesian regions, this research evaluates how technology redefines the concepts of "sacredness" and "presence" through the lens of Randall Collins' interaction ritual chains and Erving Goffman's dramaturgy. Findings reveal that while technology offers accessibility and efficiency, it also triggers the deinstitutionalization of marriage, where traditional rites of passage are transformed into mediatized projects oriented toward social visibility and the "experience economy." The study concludes that the success of virtual rituals depends on the ability of participants to synchronize their focus and emotional energy despite physical distance. Recommendations include the development of a flexible socio-legal framework that acknowledges digital intimacy while preserving the fundamental essence of the marriage institution as a communal pillar. Era digital memicu fenomena pernikahan virtual yang menghadirkan tantangan hukum dan sosial-budaya baru. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengkaji implikasi sosial-budaya pernikahan digital dan menganalisis transformasi makna ritual dalam era mediatisasi. Menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan analisis tematik dan studi kasus dari berbagai wilayah di Indonesia, studi ini mengevaluasi bagaimana teknologi mendefinisikan ulang konsep "kesakralan" dan "kehadiran" melalui lensa teori rantai ritual interaksi Randall Collins dan dramaturgi Erving Goffman. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa meskipun teknologi menawarkan aksesibilitas dan efisiensi, ia juga memicu deinstitusionalisasi pernikahan, di mana ritus peralihan tradisional berubah menjadi proyek mediatisasi yang berorientasi pada visibilitas sosial dan "ekonomi pengalaman." Studi ini menyimpulkan bahwa keberhasilan ritual virtual bergantung pada kemampuan partisipan untuk menyinkronkan fokus dan energi emosional meskipun terpisah secara fisik. Rekomendasi yang diajukan meliputi pengembangan kerangka sosial-hukum yang fleksibel yang mengakui intimitas digital sambil tetap mempertahankan esensi fundamental institusi pernikahan sebagai pilar komunitas.

Abstract

The research aims to establish a theological foundation for elder care that integrates biblical principles with traditional Nigerian values while responding to current challenges faced by Nigeria's ageing population. The problem addressed is the growing disconnect between Nigeria's expressed cultural values of elder reverence and the lived reality of many elderly Nigerians who experience various forms of abuse, neglect, and marginalisation. Methodologically, this research employs a multidisciplinary approach integrating (1) exegetical analysis of Leviticus 19:32 within its historical and theological context; (2) review of gerontological literature on elder experiences and challenges in Nigeria; (3) comparative analysis of biblical principles and traditional Nigerian cultural values regarding elder care; and (4) application of contextualised hermeneutics to bridge ancient text and contemporary social challenges. The findings reveal that Leviticus 19:32 establishes elder care as a theological imperative rather than merely a cultural preference, connecting respect for the aged directly with reverence for God. This divine mandate encompasses both symbolic gestures (rising in their presence) and practical support structures that recognise the intrinsic dignity of elderly persons. The research identifies substantial alignment between biblical principles and traditional Nigerian values regarding elder reverence while highlighting how both systems are challenged by contemporary socioeconomic realities. The study further demonstrates how religious institutions can play a crucial role in revitalising elder care practices through their extensive community networks and moral influence.

Abstract

This study examines the development of Islam in China through the history of translation and the analysis of Koran manuscripts from codicological and cultural perspectives. Using a descriptive, library-based research method with content analysis, data were drawn from Islamic history literature, translation history, and Koran codicological studies. The findings indicate that the translation of the Koran into Chinese was significantly delayed due to the intellectual isolation of Chinese Muslims, the dominance of Arabic as a sacred language, and linguistic and cultural differences between Arabic and Chinese. Furthermore, Koran manuscripts produced in China between the 13th and 14th centuries exhibit stylistic and structural influences from Central Asian manuscript traditions, transmitted through Muslim migrant communities, both orally and in manuscript copies. This study enriches Koranic studies and Islamic historiography in East Asia by highlighting the dynamic interaction between Islamic sacred texts and local cultural traditions.  Studi ini meneliti perkembangan Islam di Tiongkok melalui sejarah penerjemahan dan analisis manuskrip Al-Quran dari perspektif kodikologi dan budaya. Dengan menggunakan metode penelitian deskriptif berbasis pustaka dengan analisis isi, data diambil dari literatur sejarah Islam, sejarah penerjemahan, dan studi kodikologi AlQuran. Temuan menunjukkan bahwa penerjemahan Al-Quran ke dalam bahasa Tionghoa sangat tertunda karena isolasi intelektual Muslim Tiongkok, dominasi bahasa Arab sebagai bahasa suci, dan perbedaan linguistik dan budaya antara bahasa Arab dan Tionghoa. Lebih lanjut, manuskrip Al-Quran yang diproduksi di Tiongkok antara abad ke-13 dan ke-14 menunjukkan pengaruh gaya dan struktur dari tradisi manuskrip Asia Tengah, yang ditransmisikan melalui komunitas migran Muslim di sepanjang Jalur Sutra, baik secara lisan maupun dalam bentuk manuskrip. Studi ini memperkaya studi Al-Quran dan historiografi Islam di Asia Timur dengan menyoroti interaksi dinamis antara teks-teks suci Islam dan tradisi budaya lokal.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the strategic role of the Vietnam’s Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union within the university environment in educating the younger generation about national culture. In addition to highlighting its positive contributions, this study also critically identifies various obstacles and root causes that limit the organization's effectiveness in the process of internalizing cultural values. Through a theoretical approach and supported by the results of a survey of 167 respondents from among lecturers and students, it was found that the presence of this organization is crucial in shaping the character of students. These findings are expected to provide scientific and practical contributions for socio-political organizations and universities in formulating strategic solutions to optimize the role of student unions in the present and future. With the right orientation, it is hoped that a new generation of Vietnamese will emerge who are not only professionally skilled in their fields but also possess integrity and a strong pride in the nation's cultural heritage and noble values. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendalami peran strategis Persatuan Pemuda Komunis Ho Chi Minh Vietnam di lingkungan universitas dalam mengedukasi budaya nasional kepada generasi muda. Selain menyoroti kontribusi positifnya, studi ini juga secara kritis mengidentifikasi berbagai hambatan serta akar permasalahan yang membatasi efektivitas organisasi tersebut dalam proses internalisasi nilai-nilai budaya. Melalui pendekatan teoretis dan diperkuat oleh hasil survei terhadap 167 responden dari kalangan dosen serta mahasiswa, ditemukan bahwa kehadiran organisasi ini sangat krusial dalam membentuk karakter mahasiswa. Temuan ini diharapkan mampu memberikan kontribusi ilmiah dan praktis bagi organisasi sosial-politik maupun perguruan tinggi untuk merumuskan solusi strategis guna mengoptimalkan peran serikat mahasiswa. Dengan orientasi yang tepat, diharapkan lahir generasi baru Vietnam yang tidak hanya mahir secara profesional di bidangnya, tetapi juga memiliki integritas serta kebanggaan yang kuat terhadap warisan dan nilai-nilai luhur budaya bangsa.

Abstract

This study applies Max Weber’s theory of authority, with particular attention to the routinisation of charisma, to examine how early Nigerian Pentecostal movements managed internal disputes during their formative decades. Moving beyond narratives that privilege revival intensity and charismatic personality, the paper foregrounds the socio-historical mechanisms (formal and informal) through which early Pentecostal communities addressed doctrinal disagreements, leadership contestation, and tensions over public order, sacred space, and relations with traditional institutions. Using episodes drawn primarily from the early history of The Apostolic Church Nigeria (TACN) and the schismatic pathways that contributed to the consolidation of the Christ Apostolic Church (CAC) communities in Southwestern Nigeria, the analysis shows that conflict resolution was not merely reactive. It functioned as a formative governance practice through which legitimacy was negotiated, boundaries were drawn, and organisational continuity was secured. By reading conflict episodes as sites where charismatic authority was translated into procedures, offices, and territorially anchored institutions, the study offers a conflict-centred account of Pentecostal institutionalisation and highlights the often-unseen organisational labour underpinning the public visibility of Nigerian Pentecostalism.

Abstract

This study examines the dialectical relationship between Islam Nusantara and globalization through Homi K. Bhabha's Hybridity Theory, focusing on the transformation of Nahdlatul Ulama’s (NU) religious practices within Indonesian modernity. Utilizing a library research methodology, the paper analyzes how traditional Islamic organizations navigate between preserving local traditions and adapting to global influences. The findings reveal that NU employs a sophisticated cultural negotiation strategy, creating a “third space” where new hybrid identities emerge. Through cultural translation, traditional Islamic values are reinterpreted for modern contexts without losing their essence. Furthermore, NU’s approach exhibits an ambivalence that simultaneously accepts and rejects various aspects of globalization. This hybridity enables the organization to maintain its traditional roots while constructively engaging with contemporary challenges, fostering innovative religious practices that blend local wisdom with global perspectives. Studi ini mengkaji hubungan dialektis antara Islam Nusantara dan globalisasi melalui Teori Hibriditas Homi K. Bhabha, dengan fokus pada transformasi praktik keagamaan Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) dalam konteks modernitas Indonesia. Menggunakan metode penelitian kepustakaan, artikel ini menganalisis bagaimana organisasi Islam tradisional bernavigasi antara melestarikan tradisi lokal dan beradaptasi dengan pengaruh global. Temuan menunjukkan bahwa NU menerapkan strategi negosiasi budaya yang canggih, menciptakan "ruang ketiga" tempat identitas hibrida baru muncul. Melalui penerjemahan budaya, nilai-nilai Islam tradisional diinterpretasikan kembali untuk konteks modern tanpa kehilangan esensinya. Selain itu, pendekatan NU menunjukkan ambivalensi yang secara bersamaan menerima dan menolak berbagai aspek globalisasi. Hibriditas ini memungkinkan NU mempertahankan akar tradisinya sekaligus terlibat secara konstruktif dengan tantangan kontemporer, menghasilkan praktik keagamaan inovatif yang memadukan kearifan lokal dengan perspektif global.

Abstract

The ongoing humanitarian crisis in the Occupied Palestinian Territory is deeply rooted in weaponized religious and cultural narratives that justify exclusion and territorial domination. This article explores the role of Humanitarian Islam, proposed by Indonesia’s Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) and the R20 International Summit of Religious Authorities (ISORA), in offering theological and social frameworks to mediate this conflict. By emphasizing universal compassion (rahmah) and equal citizenship (al-muwatinun), Humanitarian Islam counters divisive sacred narratives to foster peacebuilding grounded in human dignity. Using a qualitative analytical approach, this research examines the mechanisms of recontextualization in Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh) applied to the Palestinian crisis. The study argues that by dismantling obsolete legal categories like kafir (infidel) and aligning faith with the UN Charter, Humanitarian Islam provides a sustainable alternative to technocratic peace models. Krisis kemanusiaan yang sedang berlangsung di Wilayah Terjajah Palestina berakar kuat pada narasi keagamaan dan budaya yang dijadikan senjata untuk membenarkan pengucilan dan dominasi teritorial. Artikel ini mengeksplorasi peran Islam Kemanusiaan yang diusung oleh Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) Indonesia dan KTT Internasional Otoritas Keagamaan R20 (ISORA) dalam menawarkan kerangka teologis dan sosial untuk menengahi konflik ini. Dengan menekankan kasih sayang universal (rahmah) dan kewarganegaraan yang setara (al-muwatinun), Islam Kemanusiaan melawan narasi suci yang memecah belah guna mendorong pembangunan perdamaian yang berlandaskan martabat manusia. Menggunakan pendekatan analitis kualitatif, penelitian ini mengkaji mekanisme rekontekstualisasi dalam yurisprudensi Islam (fiqh) yang diterapkan pada krisis Palestina. Studi ini berpendapat bahwa dengan membongkar kategori hukum yang usang seperti kafir (infidel) dan menyelaraskan keyakinan dengan Piagam PBB, Islam Kemanusiaan menyediakan alternatif yang berkelanjutan bagi model perdamaian teknokratis.

Abstract

Tongklek art, a traditional Ramadan performance art in Tuban, East Java, faces preservation challenges amid rapid modernization. Using a qualitative-historical method (1998–2025), this study analyzes its preservation through heuristics, source criticism, interpretation, and historiography. Evolving from communal patrol bamboo slit drums, Tongklek developed into a structured art driven by community values and the Nahdlatul Ulama student organization, PC IPNU IPPNU Tuban, through festivals. While transforming through creative innovations in instruments, arrangements, and costumes, it carefully retains its traditional core. Ultimately, Tongklek’s preservation successfully balances safeguarding local heritage with adapting to contemporary shifts. Kesenian Tongklek, pertunjukan seni tradisional Ramadan di Tuban, Jawa Timur, menghadapi tantangan pelestarian di tengah modernisasi. Menggunakan metode historis-kualitatif (1998–2025), penelitian ini menganalisis pelestariannya melalui tahap heuristik, kritik sumber, interpretasi, dan historiografi. Berawal dari tradisi patrol kentongan bambu, Tongklek berkembang menjadi seni terstruktur yang didorong nilai kebersamaan dan festival organisasi pelajar Nahdlatul Ulama, PC IPNU IPPNU Tuban. Meski bertransformasi melalui inovasi alat musik, aransemen, dan kostum, kesenian ini tetap mempertahankan inti tradisionalnya. Pada akhirnya, pelestarian Tongklek berhasil menyeimbangkan perlindungan warisan lokal dengan adaptasi dinamika zaman.

Abstract

This study evaluates Qur’anic interpretation validity in viral social media da‘wah (Instagram, TikTok, YouTube) using a naqd al-tafsīr framework. Analyzing 150 viral samples (March–June 2024) via mixed methods, findings show problematic patterns in 92% of content: opinion ayatification, decontextualization, and identity politics instrumentalization. Notably, 76.7% neglect asbāb al-nuzūl, dominated by clickbait logic and group bias. This shifts authority from 'ilm to affect and algorithms, causing a hermeneutical crisis in the attention economy. The study proposes a digital hermeneutical ethics framework, including creator accountability, platform governance, and critical literacy, to preserve interpretive integrity.   Penelitian ini mengevaluasi validitas penafsiran Al-Qur'an dalam dakwah viral media sosial (Instagram, TikTok, YouTube) menggunakan kerangka naqd al-tafsīr. Menganalisis 150 sampel viral (Maret–Juni 2024) secara mixed-methods, temuan menunjukkan pola problematik pada 92% sampel: ayatifikasi opini, dekontekstualisasi, dan instrumentalisasi politik identitas. Sebanyak 76,7% konten mengabaikan asbāb al-nuzūl serta didominasi clickbait dan bias kelompok. Fenomena ini menggeser otoritas dari 'ilm ke afek dan algoritma, memicu krisis hermeneutika dalam ekonomi perhatian. Penelitian merekomendasikan kerangka etika hermeneutika digital, meliputi tanggung jawab kreator, tata kelola platform, dan literasi kritis, guna menjaga integritas penafsiran.
