Abstract

This study aims to oversee the practice of gender injustice that affects rural women's lack of substantive political participation in Bondowoso Regency. During the Legislative General Election in 2014-2019 and 2019-2024, women's political participation was complimentary for the registration and administrative requirements rather than substantial involvement. This situation continues to happen even after the release of regulations that require the fulfillment of a quota of 30 percent of women’s representation in a political party. This study uses a qualitative approach. Furthermore, this study also uses a feminist approach. By using that feminist approach, this study aims to discover (1) how rural women in Bondowoso respond to political engagement and (2) how religious arguments are interpreted concerning the role of women in political engagement. This study found that (1) women’s involvement in politics is high in quantity rather than quality. Women’s political participation does not directly guarantee their active role in the political world. Instead of making a maximum contribution to the development of politics, women’s participation is stigmatized. (2) One circumstance that hinders women’s participation relates to the misogynistic interpretation of religious teachings in Bondowoso’s rural society. It refers to patriarchal domination in understanding the concept of leadership in Islam that eventually stigmatizes women’s involvement in politics.

Halal tourism is an industry currently developing in developed countries, not only in Muslim-majority countries but also in Muslim-minority countries. According to the Global Muslim Travel Index in 2019, Indonesia rose to the top position as a tourist destination.

The Ministry of Tourism continues to expand the scope of priority halal tourist destinations. LPPOM MUI, as an institution that focuses on handling halal certification no less agile in conducting halal certification in tourist destinations. However, the development of halal tourism in several areas has been rejected by residents. This study examines the effect of halal tourism and facilities for Muslim tourists visiting Muslim minority areas. The research method used is qualitative by using observation, interviews, documentation, and in the final stage by concluding. This study found that halal tourism in North Toraja was initially rejected due to a lack of socialization in the community. It causes public misunderstanding regarding halal tourism policies. Halal tourism services still need to be improved, from the availability of halal food, worship facilities, water and bathrooms, and religious harmony. Therefore, the development of halal tourism needs to be a concern for the government.

Abstract

Sometimes, People with disabilities are underestimated by some people. Even though the government has made a law that contains the rights of persons with disabilities, as contained in Law Number 8 of 2016 about Persons with Disabilities. Islam is a religion of rahmatan lil’alamin, which has its meaning for persons with disabilities. It is implied from the sources of Islamic teachings in the form of the Qur’an and Hadith. Therefore, the existence of government regulations and religious teachings contained in the two sources of Islamic teachings regarding persons with disabilities can influence the attitude of the people in Parepare City to interact with disabilities. This research is field research with a qualitative approach. Data were obtained from interviews, observations, and documentation. Research informan consisted of students, the general public, persons with disabilities, employees of the Social Service Office of Parepare City, and employees of the Ministry of Religion of Parepare City.

As a result, the community can behave and walk according to Islamic religious guidance toward persons with disabilities. In addition, the community can also develop related policies for persons with disabilities.

Abstract

This article discusses gender, especially in women’s job qualifications, and provides opportunities for women in society. Gender issues are expected to be addressed, but what about the people of Wakan village who still use patriarchal culture daily? It causes women to be unable to work according to their talents. This study refers to Foucault's theory of knowledge and power regime. In contrast, the research method uses descriptive qualitative research, so the data collection technique uses a depiction of people’s lives that are happening now. The results show that women in Wakan Village still experience discrimination by men, especially in society, both in public and other spaces. It started from the community’s belief in seeing these women so that the role of women was still minimal in any case. Even though both men and society provide opportunities for women, every opportunity is still supervised by men, so all opportunities and roles of women cannot equal the roles of men, which causes women to be subordinated.

Abstract

Government Regulation instead of Law (Perppu) for Ormas No. 2 of 2017 has shown its implications for religious activities and discourses at IAIN Kerinci and UIN Sultan Thaha Saifuddin Jambi. The argument of this research departs from the tendency of campus elements to strengthen identity through discourse contestation after the issuance of the Perppu Ormas. This study applies a descriptive qualitative approach through observation, interviews, and document review. This study found that Perppu Ormas No. 2 of 2017 raises two different attitudes at the level of student organizations. Acceptance of the Perppu Ormas argues intending to deradicalize and strengthen moderation. Meanwhile, the voices of refusal argued that the Perppu Ormas have the potential to weaken democracy and be misused. Perppu Ormas at the leadership level was welcomed by intensifying the discourse on religious moderation and strengthening the Pancasila ideology through seminars and study centers.

Abstract

Temboro, Magetan, is a unique village widely known as Kampung Madinah. The nickname comes from the Islamic tradition embedded in villagers’ everyday lives, associated with Medina, the Propeth’s city. Further observations show that their Islamic tradition is distinctive, primarily referring to the community’s affiliation with the transnational Tablighi Jama’at movement. This fact implies that the community has its worldviews, moral values, and lifestyle, which puts them into a sub-cultural community category. This research examines the socio-historical aspect of Kampung Madinah Temboro as Tablighi Jama’at Sub-Cultural Community between 1984 and 2009. Therefore, we employ historical inquiries and social approaches as methods. We discover that: 1) Pesantren al-Fatah and Markaz Temboro play their central roles in forming Kampung Madinah as a subcultural community based on the Tablighi Jama’at ideology; 2) The subcultural indicators appear in how they dress, how they interact, symbols in the environment, the values they hold, and the integration of the Tablighi Jama’at ideology into people’s daily activities; and 3) Both the Pesantren al-Fatah and the Tablighi Jama’at Markaz networks increase the probability of similar subcultural community emerging elsewhere.

Abstract

The Ontalan tradition is a Maduranese tradition of throwing money to the bride and groom at the bridal events, which its people still preserve. The Ontalan practice is unique in its implementation because it only involves the groom’s family, relatives, and bhle. In contrast, the bride is not obligated to carry it out. Research was included in empirical legal research, namely studying and analyzing legal behavior, both individuals and society. The research method used by the researcher was qualitative. This research intended to understand the phenomena experienced by describing them in words and language in a particular natural context using various scientific methods. As empirical legal research, the approach used by researchers is a socio-legal approach. This research showed that Ontalan was first carried out at the groom’s house at the time of the bridal events, one day after its events. The groom’s family and relatives carried out the parties. The money given is not thrown away but is delivered using an envelope. Second, they carry out Ontalan to continue their ancestral heritage, help the bride and groom, reject lousy luck, and strengthen friendship because it does not conflict with religion. The benefits of implementing Ontalan were to create a spirit of social care through giving alms, bringing family relationships closer, strengthening ties, and making an equal household; those who do not implement Ontalan will receive social sanctions. Third, religion and culture are interrelated from the sociological perspective of Islamic law. The term Ontalan is a social definition because the actual social fact of Ontalan is a gift that, in its implementation, aims to create social change through efforts to help the bride and groom build harmonious and equal family relationships. Using the ‘Urf theory, the Ontalan tradition is included in ‘urf shahih because it does not conflict with sharia, benefits the practitioners, and contains religious values.

Abstract

This paper discusses some performing arts and rituals that carry the environmental theme in Jember. Artists and village governments respond creatively to environmental problems by creating several multi-form events, combining performances and certain rituals. We will use postcolonial ecocriticism as a theoretical framework to discuss some of their produced show events. Postcolonial ecocriticism emphasizes analysis to reveal how cultural texts present current ecological problems as a legacy of colonialism in aesthetic works that can function as advocacy and activism. The results of this study show that the performances and rituals develop critical awareness regarding environmental threats and problems in Jember and Indonesia. They bring the topic of the environment to invite the community to jointly maintain the sustainability of the human environment and criticize government policies to legitimize the destruction of nature in the name of development.
