Abstract

This study investigates the Islamic educational values embodied in the Batimung tradition, a ritual steam bath practiced by the Banjar ethnic group in South Kalimantan, Indonesia. Positioned within a Global South framework, Batimung is analyzed as a site of cultural resilience and pedagogical innovation amid the pressures of globalization and epistemic hegemony. Utilizing a qualitative literature review, the study draws from academic sources published between 2015 and 2024 to examine Batimung’s moral, spiritual, ecological, and gendered dimensions. Findings reveal that Batimung fosters key Islamic values such as thaharah (purity), tazkiyah al-nafs (self-purification), muamalah (social ethics), and communal harmony through embodied, affective learning. Women’s central roles in ritual performance further highlight its function as a matrifocal space for moral transmission. Beyond its symbolic significance, Batimung offers transformative potential for Islamic education through culturally grounded curricula, experiential pedagogy, and environmental ethics. The study advocates for the formal recognition of Batimung within Islamic education policy and practice, emphasizing its relevance for character formation, intergenerational knowledge transfer, and epistemological decolonization. Ultimately, Batimung represents a living educational system that integrates body, spirit, nature, and community—offering a holistic and context-responsive model for Islamic character education in the 21st century.

Abstract

This study explores how digital da’wah influences the political preferences of Indonesia’s Muslim digital generation. Employing a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews with Muslim university students aged 18–25 who actively consume religious content on platforms such as TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram. The findings reveal that digital preachers function as ideological agents who frame political choices as part of religious and moral obligations. The use of social media algorithms intensifies exposure to specific narratives, resulting in echo chambers that narrow perspectives and increase polarization. Using Antonio Gramsci’s theory of hegemony, the study highlights how ideological power is constructed and sustained through cultural consent and religious authority. However, the study also identifies critical audience responses that challenge dominant narratives, demonstrating that digital da’wah is not hegemonically total. This research underscores the importance of digital literacy and a more dialogical approach to online religious preaching as a way to foster healthy and inclusive political participation in the digital age.

Abstract

Globalization brings changes in various fields, one of which is the transportation sector. Currently, there is a massive change in the transportation system in urban areas such as Surabaya. Modernization of transportation in Surabaya has occurred since 2021 through the policy of providing modern transportation such as Suroboyo Bus and Trans Semanggi. Both transportations have a big impact on the lives of pedicab drivers in Bratang Terminal. This research aims to analyze the form of transportation progress and how the power relations between the government and becak drivers in the context of structural poverty. Using a qualitative approach with observation, interview, and documentation techniques, as well as analysis of Michel Foucault's power relations theory, this study found that non-inclusive transportation policies have created a new form of domination that marginalizes informal worker groups, in this case becak drivers. The modernization has caused them to experience a significant decrease in income, loss of participation space, and increased socio-economic vulnerability of pedicab drivers. These findings suggest that efficiency-based policies without considering social sustainability can exacerbate inequality. Therefore, transportation policies that are not only environmentally friendly and efficient, but also socially just and participatory are needed to ensure that no group is excluded from the urban development process.

Abstract

Digital transformation in the Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) sector or UMKM in Indonesian language, is part of the inclusive development agenda that encourages efficiency and open access to the financial system. One form of this transformation is the implementation of QRIS (Quick Response Code Indonesian Standard) which aims to simplify non-cash transactions in various sectors, including higher education. This article examines the dynamics of digital structuring through a case study of MSME actors in the canteen of the Faculty of Agriculture, University of Jember, who experienced a policy transition from a rental system to a profit-sharing system and were required to use QRIS in all transactions. The approach used was qualitative with a case study method, supported by in-depth interviews and observations, and analyzed using Anthony Giddens' Structuration Theory framework. The results of the study show that the implementation of digital policies did not run completely without obstacles; a number of technical obstacles were found such as the slow QRIS system, limited network infrastructure, and delays in disbursement of funds. However, MSMEs actors demonstrated their capacity as reflective agents who were able to respond to structures through resistance, adaptation, and negotiation. This study concludes that the success of digital structuring is highly dependent on the balance between structural strength and agent reflective power, as well as the need for inclusive and equitable structural support. As part of the Global South context, the implementation of QRIS must truly side with weak groups.

Abstract

The digital revolution has ushered in profound changes across social and economic landscapes worldwide, with especially significant impacts in the rapidly urbanizing contexts of the Global South. In these regions, digital platforms have become central to reshaping not only economic activities but also the fabric of social relationships and consumption patterns. In cities such as Surabaya, Indonesia, these changes are particularly salient among university students, a demographic that navigates the intersections of education, labor precarity, and digital connectivity. The study examines the interplay between digital social capital and gig economy participation to understand their combined influence on online consumption behaviors among students in Surabaya. Quantitative methods were used in this study, with 70 respondents, measured using a 5-point Likert scale through a questionnaire instrument that had been tested for validity and reliability. The results of this study indicate that both digital social capital and gig economy participation are important factors that influence online consumption behavior of students in Surabaya, both partially and simultaneously. It shows how digital transformation is not only changing consumption patterns, but also how social capital is built and utilized and how new forms of work are emerging in developing countries.

Abstract

In many Global South societies, especially in Southeast Asia, women are increasingly burdened with dual responsibilities in the informal economy and domestic sphere. This phenomenon of dual roles often leads to role conflict, disproportionately affecting women’s well-being due to persistent gendered expectations and structural inequalities. This study aims to explore how women navigate these conflicts in contexts shaped by patriarchal norms and economic precarity. Using a qualitative phenomenological method, the research draws insights from in-depth interviews with three women workers in the informal sector in Jember, Indonesia, who also bear domestic responsibilities. The findings reveal that these women face significant role strain due to the unequal division of labor at home, although some receive minimal support from their spouses. Despite these challenges, women continue to strive for balance between productive and reproductive labor. Framed by feminist theory and situated within Global South epistemologies, this study highlights how gender inequality is reproduced through everyday practices. It also calls for more context-sensitive policies that recognize and support the invisible labor of women in informal sectors across the Global South.

Abstract

Surabaya as a big city cannot be separated from the polemic of congestion in every corner of the city. This is caused by the excessive use of private transportation. The congestion led the government to launch wira wiri Suroboyo to increase public interest in riding public transportation. However, the emergence of wira wiri suroboyo has also caused pros and cons in the community, especially in conventional angkot groups. This phenomenon makes researchers interested in conducting research on the process of spatial segregation that occurs with the existence of conventional angkot and wara wiri suroboyo. The method used is qualitative with data collection techniques in the form of observation and interviews. The data was analyzed using miles and hubermans analysis techniques and Anthony Giddens' structuration theory. The results of the study show that there is a structuration process between conventional angkot drivers and the government management of wara wiri Suroboyo. The segregation of work space that occurs is then overcome by the government with various agreements so as not to cause a process of struggle for work space between conventional angkot drivers and wara wiri Suroboyo.

Abstract

This study examines the role of sholawat as social capital in political victory strategies in Kediri Regency, Indonesia. In every political event such as regional elections and village head elections, candidates often invite sholawat groups as part of their campaign strategies. Additionally, ahead of elections, many sholawat groups are actively involved in community activities and serve as effective tools of political communication. This phenomenon demonstrates how religious practices are used as instruments to build legitimacy and electoral support. Using a qualitative approach and Pierre Bourdieu's theory of social capital, while considering the Global South perspective, this study analyzes how sholawat forms a socially advantageous network for candidates. Religious figures and sholawat groups play a role in shaping public opinion and strengthening electability through religious symbols. This study also highlights resistance to the exploitation of religion for practical political purposes and underscores the importance of religious ethics in the political sphere. The study offers insights into the relationship between religion and politics and its relevance in Indonesia's local democracy.
