This research reveals the unique pheno­menon of PKS Kebumen's role in an electoral manner in the distribution of votes and seats in the Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat Daerah (DPRD). The method of approach uses pheno­menological studies. The results of this study are that PKS was born of an ideology or Islamic religious thought.

Abstract

The various interpretive products that have been offered by previous feminist figures are not followed by an interpretation methodology for gender equality topics. In response to this, qirā’ah mubādalah, an interpretation meth­o­do­logy of ‘made in Indonesia’products which are specifically related to gender and women's issues emerged. To explore more deeply, this study focuses on two things, namely how the interpretation methodology is adopted in the mubādalah and how the position of the qirā’ah mubādalah is among the ideas or thoughts of previous feminist figures. Through the descriptive-analytical method, this study seeks to decipher the mubādalah in terms of the methodology of interpretation. The hermeneutical analysis is used to study the extent to which operational forms of hermeneutics appear in the mubādalah. The result first, methodologically the mubādalah shows the existence of operational forms of hermeneutics, with more emphasis on efforts to explore context and con­tex­tualization. Second, compared to previous feminist thinkers, the methodology of interpreting the qirā’ah mubā­dalah is more soft, systematic and applicable in its application. Besides, qirā’ah mubādalah is also classified as a progressive interpretation, which is essentially based on the concept of monotheism and the reciprocal method.

Abstract

Islam diyakini sebagai agama yang rahmatan lil ‘alamin, yaitu agama yang menebarkan rahmat bagi alam semesta. Salah satu bentuk dari rahmat tersebut adalah pengakuan Islam terhadap keutuhan ke­manusiaan perempuan yang setara dengan laki-laki. Islam tidak memberikan keutamaan kepada jenis kelamin tertentu. Namun ajaran Islam ten­tang relasi gender yang de­mikian ideal itu tidak ter­imple­mentasikan dengan baik. Praktik masyarakat Islam dalam relasi gender ini masih sangat distortif dan bias, hal ini disebabkan karena pemahaman yang sangat harfiyah terhadap teks-teks agama.

Abstract

Persoalan gender menjadi diskursus yang senantiasa menarik hingga saat ini. Dalam konteks sejarah, munculnya persoalan gender seringkali bermuara pada kisah penciptaan Adam dan Hawa. Sekalipun kisah tentang diciptakannya Hawa yang ber­asal dari tulang rusuk Adam telah banyak dikritisi, namun masih banyak yang memegang teguh kisah tersebut. Kedudukan dan peran wanita mengalami pasang surut sesuai dengan kon­teks masyarakatnya. Pada Masa Islam dikategorikan dengan tiga masa yaitu, kalsik, pertengahan, dan modern, yang masing me­miliki karakteristiknya sendiri.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic during 2020 has impacted health aspects, social life, economics, and politics. Large-scale social restriction policies and health protocols have been applied in almost all regions in East Java. This study aims to identify the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on gender mainstreaming implementation in Batu City and how the local government responds to it. Focus Group discussion (FDG) with the local government was run to obtain data. By using seven elements commonly used to evaluate gender mainstreaming implementation, this study shows that the COVID-19 pandemic has remarkably impacted gender mainstreaming implemen­tation. No specific policies have yet been made within the gender main­streaming framework. PUG institutions are also not involved in the COVID-19 task force. There have been efforts to respond to the impact in some sectors but not all in gender mainstreaming. Human resources have not been explicitly prepared in dealing with women’s problems during the COVID-19 pandemic. The budget is reallocated so that even routine activities cannot be fully carried out. Community participation is also helpful in tackling the pandemic, although it has not specifically responded to the impacts. This study implies the importance of integrating a disaster perspective in monitoring and evaluating gender mainstreaming.

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi bias jender pada gambar dan bahasa yang terdapat pada materi ajar Aqidah Akhlak di Madrasah Ibtidaiyah. Pemilihan buku ajar Madrasah Ibtidaiyah yang berperspektif jender adalah tindakan yang tepat, agar kekeliruan pola pikir kognitif dan bentukan afektif maupun psikomotoriknya tidak terlanjur jauh terinternalisasi dari kecakapan, sikap dan perilaku peserta didik. Jenis penelitian ini adalah kualitatif deskrptif. Populasi penelitian ini adalah buku ajar pada mata pelajaran Aqidah Akhlak kelas 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 dan 6 yang digunakan di Madrasah Ibtida­iyah di kota Salatiga, Kabupaten Magelang dan Kabupaten Pono­rogo. Pengambilan sampel menggunakan teknik purposive random sampling, yaitu berupa buku ajar Aqidah Akhlak yang di­keluarkan oleh beberapa penerbit yang terbanyak digunakan MI di ketiga kota ter­sebut. Teknik pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan cara meng­amati (observasi) secara cermat, yaitu mengidentifikasi ada tidaknya bias jender berdasarkan instrumen yang berupa lembar identifikasi bias jender yang berisi tentang paparan gambar-gambar dan kalimat-kalimat yang menunjukkan bias jender pada peran jender seperti peran produktif, reproduktif dan sosial. Teknik analisis data dalam penelitian ini menggunakan teknik analisis isi (content analysis), sarana tanda (sign-vechile) dan analisis wacana. Hasil penelitian terhadap gambar pada materi ajar Aqidah Akhlak mulai dari kelas 1 sampai dengan kelas 6, sebagian besar perempuan masih digambarkan pada gambar yang kecil dibandingkan dengan gambar jenis kelamin yang lain, diletakkan pada posisi dibelakang, masih mendapatkan peran yang kurang signifikan bahkan mendiskriditkan perempuan antara lain beberapa sikap negatif yang dilekatkan pada jenis kelamin perempuan. Pelabelan atau steriotipe terhadap per­empuan bahwa perempuan itu makhluk yang lemah, marginalisasi terhadap perempuan sehingga banyak digambarkan bahwa per­empu­an hanya bertindak sebagai pelayan keluarga, istri yang hanya melayani suami dan anak-anaknya, subordinasi terhadap hak per­empuan untuk menjadi anak yang pintar seperti juara kelas, sekolah, mencari nafkah masih jelas terlihat. Selain itu frekuensi gambar yang sering muncul dimasing-masing pelajaran masih didominasi oleh laki-laki. 
TELAAH BUKU ARGUMENTASI KESETARAAN GENDER PERSPEKTIF AL-QUR’AN KARYA NASARUDDIN UMAR Nasitotul Janah

Abstract

Nasarudin Umar is an Indonesian Muslim scholar who has concerns on the issue of gender relations. He contributes many reflective thoughts, including the book entitled Argumentasi Kesetaraan Gender Perspektif al-Qur’an. This research is motivated by his intellectual anxiety toward Qur'anic texts that are often used as a tool of legitimacy and justification by patriarchalism. This notion has gender biased and misogynous thought in which puts women as the second actor in ritual and social contexts. On the other hand, Nasarudin assumes that gender inequality does not come from the character of religion itself but it refers to the understanding of religious thought that has been influenced by social construction. In addition, he argues that there is still ambiguity of the Qur'an inter­pretation on whether gender is a nature or a dynamic nurture (social construction). To understand the authenticity of Qur'anic perspectives, Nasarudin conducted a research on the Qur'an verses that discuss male and female relationships by applying thematic analysis (called Tafsir Maudlui) with various approaches such as semantic-linguistic, normative-theological and socio-historical. The result showed that the Qur'an does not expressly support the two gender paradigms of either nature or nurture. It only accommo­dates certain elements within the two theories that are in line with the universal principles of Islam. Generally, the Qur'an recognizes the distinction between men and women but the distinction does not benefit one party while marginalizes the other. The distinction is needed precisely to support the harmonious and balanced, safe, and peaceful life and full of virtue._________________________________________________________Nasarudin Umar adalah cendekiawan muslim Indonesia yang me­miliki concern terhadap persoalan relasi gender. Ia banyak mem­berikan kontribusi pemikiran-pemikiran reflektif, diantaranya Buku Argumentasi Kesetaraan Gender Perspektif Alqur’an. Penelitian ini dilatarbelakangi kegelisahan intelektualnya karena teks-teks al-Qur’an sering dipakai sebagai alat legitimasi dan justifikasi paham patriarkhism yang bias gender dan sarat misoginis yang menempat­kan perempuan sebagai the second dalam konteks ritual maupun sosial. Nasarudin berasumsi bahwa ketidakadilan gender bukanlah bersumber dari watak agama itu sendiri namun berasal dari pe­mahaman dan pemikiran keagamaan yang dipengaruhi oleh kon­struksi social. Menurutnya, masih terjadi ambiguitas penafsiran al-Qur’an tentang apakah gender itu bersifat nature (kodrati) ataukah bersifat nuture (konstruksi social) yang dinamis. Untuk memahami autentisitas perspektif al-Qur’an, Nasarudin melakukan penelitian terhadap ayat-ayat al-Qur’an yang membahas tetang relasi laki-laki dan perempuan dengan menggunakan analisis tematik (tafsir maudhui) dengan berbagai pendekatan seperti semantic-linguistik, normatif-teologis maupun sosio historis. Hasil­nya, al-Qur’an tidak secara tegas menyatakan dukungan terhadap kedua paradigma gender baik nature maupun nurture. Al-Qur’an hanya meng­ako­modir unsur-unsur tertentu yang terdapat dalam dua teori yang sejalan dengan prinsip-prinsip universal Islam. Secara umum al-Qur’an mengakui adanya perbedaan (distinction) antara laki-laki dan perempuan tetapi perbedaan itu tidak meng­untungkan salah satu pihak dan memarjinalkan pihak yang lain. Per­­bedaan itu diperlukan justru untuk mendukung obsesi al-Qur’an tentang ke­hidup­an harmonis, seimbang, aman, tenteram serta penuh kebajikan.
