Abstract

Gender equality in the Islamic context is in deep focus, especially through the lens of feminist theology. This article explores the views of Asghar Ali Engineer, a Muslim activist, who advocates the need to treat women as equals to men and redefine sharia law regarding gender issues. The main focus is on the challenges and opportunities facing feminist theology in Islam, with an emphasis on the concept of gender equality and its impact on Muslim women. This research adopts a qualitative approach, analyzing and exploring data from key works such as "Islamic Liberation Theology" by Latief Muhaemin and the works of Asghar Ali Engineer. Feminist theologians, including Engineer, face the challenges of reconstructing religious texts, deconstructing traditional understandings that devalue women, and resolving socio-cultural challenges related to religious law and social norms. With a socio-theological approach, they emphasize the importance of understanding the social context and reinterpreting key concepts to suit the needs of the times. In an effort to create a non-exploitative life order, theological feminists such as Engineer strive to provide equal opportunities for women and men, including in aspects of leadership, to bring positive changes in the interpretation of Islamic religious teachings in the 21st century.

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui muatan nilai fetisisme komoditas pada sepatu hak tinggi seniman drag queen dalam pertunjukkan cabaret show di Raminten 3 Mirota Yogyakarta. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan fenomenologi, serta melakukan analisis data berdasarkan teori Marx tentang fetisisme komoditas. Hasil penelitian ini menjelaskan bahwa sepatu hak tinggi pemain drag queen memiliki use value untuk melindungi kaki dari resiko terjadinya cedera dan lecet (tergores) yang diakibatkan gesekan antara kulit dengan permukaan lantai pada panggung arena tertutup (indoor). High heels menjadi media konstruksi citra feminisme terhadap tubuh maskulin laki-laki pemain drag queen yang mengalami pergeseran (exchange value) dari fungsi status sosial menuju fungsi estetika yang bernilai ekonomi untuk membentuk identitas seksual menjadi seniman atau aktor profesional yang berpakaian seperti wanita untuk alasan hiburan (female impersonators). Sepatu hak tinggi menjadi penanda seksualitas dalam memanipulasi kesadaran pengguna (seniman drag queen) terhadap pemujaan suatu benda secara berlebihan (fetisisme) dengan mengerotisasi obyek benda mati untuk membentuk dorongan (gairah) atau kepuasan seksual.

Abstract

In the social order, there are usually known for two genders that play a role, they are men and women, along with their respective roles in society. In modern society, there are concepts of patriarchy and matriarchy. Patriarchy is a concept that lineage is determined by the paternal line and men have the right to be dominant while women are subordinate. Matriarchy is a concept regarding the prioritisation of women in society by placing women as determinants of lineage and upholding gender equality. The author conducts research related to these two concepts by focusing on understanding the concept of matriarchy in the Artemyra nation in Shinobu Ohtaka's The Adventure of Sinbad comic. The method used in this research is a descriptive method with a qualitative approach. The data source used is The Adventure of Sinbad comic chapters 46, 47, 51, 53, and 54. Based on the results of the analysis, it can be understood that the concept of matriarchy in Artemyra is not a real matriarchy but a reverse patriarchy. Reverse patriarchy, like the concept of patriarchy in general, places one gender in a dominant position. In Artemyra, it is women who dominate the society. Reverse patriarchy has little possibility of happening in modern society because the concept of matriarchy itself upholds gender equality.

Abstract

The Mambo Kings Play Songs of Love (1989) is a novel by Oscar Hijuelos, a Cuban-American writer. It talks about the lives of Cesar and Nestor Castillo, Cuban immigrants who live in America to pursue their dreams as musicians. The novel strongly connects to Latin American culture. The Castillo brothers are known for embracing their "Cubanness" as men. Men in Spanish-speaking countries are recognized for their masculine solid pride. Their strong masculine pride is often associated with an exaggeration of their masculinity. People often call it machismo. Machismo, derived from destructive aspects such as aggressiveness, womanizing, emotional withdrawal, and male chauvinism, is known for having harmful outcomes for men who embed it. Operating Hall's Theory of Representation and Kupers' concept of toxic masculinity, this research aims to show how the Castillo brothers represent machismo and reveal the ideology of Oscar Hijuelos' regarding machismo. This research is conducted as qualitative research, utilizing narratives and dialogues. The study found that Cesar's practice of machismo through the act of being a Latin lover affects his participation in alcoholism and resistance to professional help. Besides, Nestor's practice of machismo for being a "man with muscle" eventually leads him to depression, anxiety, and rejection of therapy. It is acknowledged their status as immigrants heighten their practices of machismo. Through his writing, the author expects to criticize machismo.

Abstract

One of the theological issues in Islam is the concept of human creation. Within the scope of the issue of human creation, there is also a discussion of the origin of the creation of women in the hadith. The Hadith about women being created from a rib is one of the theological issues in the issue of Islamic feminism. Therefore, this research is intended to find the location of problems related to the understanding of the hadith, then offer a new view in parsing the theological problems of Islamic feminism and try to produce a reconstruction of understanding of the hadith about women created from ribs. This research uses a qualitative method with a type of library research, accompanied by a hadith criticism approach. This research reveals that the wording of the hadith "women were created from ribs" is more accurately interpreted as a figurative meaning (majazi). So that the reconstruction of the meaning of the hadith leads to a positive connotation and avoids misogynism. Furthermore, the implicit wisdom of the hadith shows that there is a prophetic treatise that leads to education for women to be intensified, as Fethullah Gülen's view in interpreting the hadith.

Abstract

The expectation that demands end when marriage will end for women is no longer commonplace. As time goes by, this choice is increasingly not realized, especially for women because they now strive for success in education and work rather than getting married. It is inevitable that stereotypes about unmarried women are increasingly being expressed, but that does not change their decision. The aim of this research is to understand and describe how working women who decide to be single or not marry communicate. In line with that, this research uses symbolic interaction theory and standpoint theory to explain the idealism of unmarried working women from a communication perspective. This research was conducted using a phenomenological method where interviews were conducted with several informants who were determined based on purposive sampling and snowball sampling techniques. From the research results, it was found that the idealism of women who choose to work rather than marry is entirely based on internal reasons for women who have rights to their own lives and choose not to marry. They said that there was no special and strong reason why women had to get married. Apart from that, getting married is not a priority in life and there is an unpreparedness to be in a long relationship. Apart from that, their quality of life is fine without their married status.
