Abstract

Initiatives to promote democracy in Indonesia continue to face several difficulties and hurdles. One of the major concerns is the emergence of radical ideas arising and hiding under the guise of democracy. Due to globalization, radicalism has evolved rapidly and taken on new forms. Considerable efforts are needed to maintain democratization in Indonesia, according to Pancasila, the foundational philosophical theory. This qualitative research uses descriptive analysis and data-gathering methods based on a review of current literature, such as news, journal articles, and books. The findings show that radical ideology in Indonesia has evolved and penetrated government bodies and people’s social lives. Terrorist-affiliated radical organizations, many of which have been disbanded, morphed into different forms to adapt to the community’s social lives. The transformation of radicalism in Indonesia necessitates a concerted effort on the part of the government as a state entity capable of deradicalizing education and preventing radical ideology.

Abstract

The release of the Province of East Timor from Indonesia in 1999 resulted in the displacement of East Timorese from the East Timor region to several provinces in Indonesia. Some refugees remained in Indonesia and chose to become Indonesian citizens. As new citizens, the former East Timor refugees experienced a struggle to foster a sense of nationalism toward Indonesia. This article originates from the results of qualitative reflective research using literature data and archival notes from former East Timor refugees, which were analyzed using ethnographic content analysis and rhetorical analysis methods. The study concludes that memories of past life in East Timor and the present reality of life in ex-refugee settlements in Indonesia generate diverse imaginations about Indonesia. To build a sense of nationality, the former East Timorese refugees must reconstruct their imaginations about Indonesia based on the past and present realities they have experienced, which are not all imaginary.

Abstract

The Kajang people are known for their lives based on traditional values, traditional beliefs, and distinctive local wisdom. They are here to preserve traditions amidst the blows of globalization. With this local wisdom, researchers are interested in analyzing the social construction of the Kajang traditional community to maintain their local wisdom. This research used a qualitative approach through participant observation, in-depth interviews, and data analysis using grounded theory analysis techniques. The research results show that the Kajang indigenous community faced challenges in maintaining their local wisdom amidst social changes and external influences. However, with its social construction, it maintained local wisdom through externalization, objectivation, and internalization processes. With this social construction approach, the Kajang traditional community can show resilience and initiative to preserve local wisdom and strengthen social ties between community members. This research will not only provide new insights into the local wisdom of the Kajang people in efforts to preserve culture, community development, and policy development in Indonesia.

Abstract

Internal contestation within Muslim communities over who embodies the ideal of moderation is often problematic, including among the descendants of the 18th-century Hadrami Arab diaspora in the Archipelago. Through qualitative research focusing on the Hadrami community dynamics in Pontianak, this article reveals divisions and internal conflicts within the community, leading to a contest over who could claim to be the most moderate. The study situates the exceptionalism of Hadrami elites in Pontianak within a "religious field," following Bourdieu’s framework, and draws on Rijal’s (2024) concept of viewing “Ḥabā’ib as symbolic capital” in religious competence, which is reinforced by their exclusive lineage, symbols, and rituals. This pursuit of Hadrami exceptionalism in moderation, in turn, gave rise to a sense of moral obligation referred to as "the Hadrami man’s burden." While theological and philosophical debates surrounding religious moderation persist, various perspectives at the vernacular level converge on the idea that being a moderate Muslim represents the virtuous ideal, forming the core of the ideological system through which some elites assert and cultivate their influence and power.

Abstract

Women's involvement in the Forum of Religious Harmony (Forum Kerukunan Umat Beragama - FKUB) is still rare. However, some FKUBs exhibit openness to women’s engagement. This study examines whether women’s involvement in the FKUB challenges the dominant beliefs and behaviors within religious groups and whether their involvement creates possibilities for change and contestation. Using a case study on the FKUB Bali and Sidoarjo and leveraging the theory from gender and masculinity studies to help frame the analysis, the study revealed two strategies used to involve women, which included forming a separate entity exclusively for women and developing an expanded familial framework inside FKUB. The findings also show that women's involvement is encouraged without altering the current structures. However, this study also discovered that the transformative masculinity exhibited by certain chairpersons contributed to the implementation of these strategies. They were strongly dedicated to gender equality, advocated for women's empowerment and involvement, and prioritized sustainable dispute resolution development. This study highlights the potential to expand research to include more cases, providing deeper insight into inclusion strategies and the role of transformative masculinity in progress toward gender equality._______________The original draft of this article has been presented at the 23rd Annual International Conference on Islamic Studies (AICIS), February 1-4, 2024, at Universitas Islam Negeri Walisongo Semarang, Indonesia.

Abstract

Tourism operations in Kampung Topeng, or Mask Village, Malang City, Indonesia, stagnated in the post-COVID era before closing permanently. This study examines the public policy of tourism development in Kampung Topeng by the Malang City Government through the Desaku Menanti program from the Ministry of Social Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia. This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study. Data was collected from observations, interviews, documentation, and document studies. This study found that the development of regional tourism in Malang City has been listed in the Mid-Term Regional Development Plan, which contains two priority aspects, the development of urban tourist destinations and the improvement of community welfare. The problems in the tourism sector can be attributed to the top-down government policies, low community participation, the succession of the Head of Social Service in Malang City, and the disintegration between the Social Service, Tourism Office, and Civil Service Police. This disintegration was caused by relocation that failed to empower. The findings emphasize the importance of considering community aspirations in creating sustainable and participatory policies.

Abstract

The shariatization of customs and regional regulations on women form an interdependence between morality, sexuality, and the nation. Currently, there are at least fifteen Shari’a regulations in West Sumatra that target women's bodies and expressions. This study employs a reflective approach, drawing from personal experience in the Minangkabau context, and critically examines the concept of sumbang duo baleh—a set of twelve female characteristics deemed inappropriate according to custom. Aiming to trace the roots of these regional regulations or Shari’a policies in West Sumatra, especially those regulating women's activity and expression, the analysis focuses on three key issues: First, custom-discursiveness and shariatization of the body and morals of Minang women nowadays. Second, the portrait of women in the sumbang duo baleh, critical factors, and how women’s characters are projected into custom ideals. Third, moral construction through the gaze mechanism and its implementation in the Shari’a regulations. This systematic analysis reveals underlying gender injustice in the way individuals are positioned within the framework of sumbang duo baleh.__________The original draft of this article has been presented at the 23rd Annual International Conference on Islamic Studies (AICIS), February 1-4, 2024 at Universitas Islam Negeri Walisongo Semarang, Indonesia.

Abstract

Sexual violence on campus is a serious problem that requires immediate attention and action. This research aims to identify and explore implementation barriers and strategies for higher education institutions (HEIs) to create safe and comfortable campuses free from sexual violence. This research is qualitative-descriptive, with multiple study sites in Central Java and Special Region Yogyakarta, i.e., Universitas Sebelas Maret (UNS), Universitas Pembangunan Nasional Veteran Yogyakarta (UPN Veteran Yogyakarta), Universitas Negeri Yogyakarta (UNY), Institut Seni Indonesia Surakarta (ISI Surakarta), and Universitas Islam Negeri Walisongo Semarang (UIN Walisongo). The results indicate the main obstacles of HEIs in creating safe and comfortable campuses free of sexual violence are inadequate and not gender responsive in preventing and handling sexual violence. The HEIs need to build a more robust and comprehensive foundation to create a space that is free from sexual violence and supports the welfare of all academic community members. The findings suggest that the strategies to be developed are embedding the issue in the learning process, strengthening governance, and building community networks and collaborative partnerships.

Abstract

Bale Balaq is a traditional house construction built based on the local wisdom of the Sasak tribe. The Malaka village community is one of the Sasak tribe communities that still use Bale Balaq as their residential dwelling. This study uses a qualitative, phenomenological approach. The findings describe that the design of the Bale Balaq building is based on local wisdom, including the materials used in its construction, such as wood, thatch, bobok (coconut leaves), and bamboo, as well as the rules governing the construction of Bale Balaq. Bale Balaq is not just a place to live; each structure within Bale Balaq holds philosophical values that serve as a way of life. Bale Balaq is interpreted as a character that reflects identity, provides safety for those living within it, and offers comfort to its inhabitants. Moreover, Bale Balaq is resistant to disasters such as earthquakes.
