Abstract

Crisis of identity and the search for identity is a typical phenomenon of modern culture. Sundanese culture, one of many other Indonesian cultural tribes, is not an exception. Referring to the idea offered by Pierre Buhler, the article will argue that crisis is needed, because it exhilarates the search for identity for the sake of survival vis a vis the challenges of modernity. In the process, the society is not supposed to attach itself solely to its objective-material references, because if so, the search for identiy will come to a dead end, Sundanese identity will be closed. Whereas, identity is a dynamic process, and as such it should be open to any critical evaluation, that enables it to develop. In order to develop, objective references that constitute the identity of Sunda (or that of any other Indonesian tribal culture), which in this modern age are increasingly falling off, should be countered by subjective-spiritual references. But the subjective search, in turn, should be warranted so that it may not fall into pure subjectivism, which may hamper the identity development. Therefore, identity should be confronted to objectivity. This would mean taking into consideration, with confidence and belief, what the other people will say about Sunda; putting this belief into discourse which can be evaluated with critical mind, and evaluating its practical importance in the implementation of Sundanese ethical virtues.

Abstract

During the initial formation to become Catholic priests, seminarians tend to consider the intellectual formation (study) as merely a requirement to be ordained. Intellectual formation is considered necessary because it orients the seminarians towards their call to be good disciples and their sending as witnesses. Jesus Christ begins his ministry by way of building a community of twelve disciples so that they might have great opportunity to learn from their teacher. In due course, the disciples then become witnesses of Christ’s words and deeds, and are sent to proclaim and to realise the Kingdom of God in the world. These models of learning and formation are applied to the priests-to-be in the Church. The initial formation is a time when seminarians literally become disciples by studying the subjects required by the Church. After their ordination, they will take the role of witness by way of participating in Christ’s offices now carried out by the Church.

Abstract

Kebalian punya kans besar untuk menjadi kelengkapan yang mempesona ruang kosmopolitan. Eksotisme di dalam kebalian itu, bukan hanya pada keanehan karena keasliannya. Tetapi keindahan gerak batin, moralnya yang lentur dalam menyikapi berbagai keadaan yang kadang sudah kewalahan diantisipasi oleh masyarakat yang cenderung individualistik dan meninggalkan azas kekeluargaan. Bukan untuk mengatakan itulah yang lebih betul. Hanya sekedar menyuguhkan kemungkinan, yang akan membuat manusia kosmopolitan lebih kaya jurus, dalam menghadapi keserbanekaan dalam segala perubahan zaman  yang semakin lama semakin deras ini.

Abstract

When moving from one place to another, people encounter a variety of things and persons. They encounter physical things, meet other people, and interact with them in a way that might be sensed as ‘divine’. The meanings emerging through human interactions in life appear when there is a presence of other human beings in the surrounding. Humans realise their meaningfulness within themselves when others find the same thing as well, that is, in realising the presence. Life turns into a meaningful experience when human beings treat their neighbours as a human being, and not as an object that does not react or respond when encountered. Regarding the others as a representation of our own relatedness with the divine may enable us respect human life, more than we value ourselves, for we realise that our relationship with fellow human beings is not the same as with objects around us. Our relation with the divine is situated in connectedness with other people so as to experience the beauty in relation. The divine needs humans not because he is weak, but because he has the desire to save and to make human’s life meaningful.
The Kingdom of God as a Vision: a Post-critical Understanding of Luke 17:20-36 in Ricoeur’s Hermeneutics Purwadi, Y. Slamet

Abstract

If post-critical moment is applied to the metaphor of the Kingdom of God, that is, the biblical text of the Kingdom, understanding constitutes incorporation of the world-reference and the project of hope. As a result, the central truth-content of the Kingdom of God in Luke 17:20-36, the Kingdom of God is within you, must be seen as provoking a ‘proposed world’, a world of possibilities which must be projected. The texts of the Kingdom reveal a surplus meaning: an eschatological vision, reflecting existential limitation of articulation of the Kingdom as well as a project of the Kingdom of humanity. From the perspective of mimesis theory, how the contemporary readers ‘identify’ themselves with the world of text demonstrates a followability of text. In post-critical moment, the power of the text becomes an actual ‘will’ to project the ‘impossible demand’ as the impact of textual participation with the interpretive mode of engagement-detachment. What prominent in post-critical moment is that a ‘program’ of the Kingdom is placed under the project of hope. In hermeneutic principle, the revealed truth as, part of faith truth, must be interpreted as both ontological and eschatological vision. ‘Vision’ functions as a meta-critical understanding that always destabilizes existing awareness and brings it to a futuristic horizon or eschatological openness.

Abstract

Whether the model of citizenship based on the national nation-state can stand in the increasingly pluralistic contemporary society might be one of the important questions at the beginning of the 21st century. Liberal thinkers are quite pessimistic on the prospect of a democratic rule of government among the states torn by ethnic, religious, identity-related differences. Issues concerning culture and religiosity are often understood within the framework of security and order. In the recent cultural contexts, Seyla Benhabib develops three normative conditions to be a model of deliberative cosmopolitan democracy, i. e., egalitarian reciprocity, voluntary self-ascription, and freedom of exit and association. With her anti-essentialism view, she defends the opinion that culture is a social construct that is mixed and plural. The term social construct is not meant to be a conjecture, but a term that has certain normative dimension to be the guideline to live through the interaction process among the autonomous human beings, including their relations with different groups. For Benhabib, the individual remains at the central position whether morally or politically, so that the groups, including the state, do not have strong justification to impose their own regulations in ways that limit the rights of a human being.

Abstract

Diversity has been an unavoidable reality. People live with other people of different religions, tribes, or races. The falling of old ideological and political structures in the world has played a great role in making this happen. To replace the old ideological and political structures, populism tends to be widely accepted by people who want to erect great wall in order to avoid immigrants. In Indonesia, populism manifests in the ideas and attitudes that alienate others based on religions and ethnic groups. The author introduces the views of Carlo Maria Martini, who, as a Catholic bishop, has promoted the idea of creating a society that supports diversity to be a new world order. Martini based his ideas on a biblical analysis, mainly on the Old Testament books such as Genesis, Exodus, and Deuteronomy. In order to find inspiration of Martini’s views for the context of Indonesia, the author relates them to Anthony Giddens and Raimon Panikkar, and finds how Martini’s ideas can be practised not only by inclusivists and pluralists, but also by exclusivists.
