Musãwa Journal of Gender and Islamic Studies was first published in March 2002 by PSW (Pusat Studi Wanita) Sunan Kalijaga Yogyakarta under contribution with the Royal Danish Embassy Jakarta. In 2008, published twice a year in collaboration with TAF (The Asia Foundation), namely January and July. Musãwa Journal is a study of gender and Islam especially on gender mainstreaming and child rights both in the study of texts in the Qur’an and Hadith, figures and thoughts, history and repertoire, classical and contemporary literature as well as socio-cultural studies. All concentrations are in the context of Indonesia and other countries in Southeast Asia within the framework of unified NKRI, based on Pancasila. Musãwa Journal has been published by PSW UIN Sunan Kalijaga Yogyakarta since 2002. Initiated by lecturers, gender activists and Islamic studies scholars of PTKI ( Higher Education of Islamic Religion) Musãwa has regularly published academic works and researches on gender and Islam for almost two decades. Now, the Journal extends its studies with Children and Human Rights (HAM). All studies are still in the context of gender and its mainstreaming. Through the studies hopefully, the Musawa journal can be part of the implementation of gender mainstreaming in the context of Indonesian society.

Abstract

Women, as individuals and as an issue, are often neglected in the agendas of Islamic revivalist movements. Their main priority is the reinstatement of previous Islamic glory and power, a return to the golden age of Islam, primarily to the years of and shortly fallowing the prophet. Revivalist ideologies differ depending on the nation and culture of origin. Those currently prevalent in Indonesia tend to be on the transnationalist path. That is that they dream of an Islamic Nation-State, one run under the banner of Khilafah, the so perceived ideal Islamic government. They seem to have forgotten the Prophet's fight for gender equality. The issue being drowned out by other, less gender concerning issues hotly advocated. Thus many of their followers are decidedly blind towards on holistic Islamic Spirituality, especially those on women and gender, two issues in need of more intense notice.

Abstract

Although they are not accepted and considered deviant by the majority of society, homosexual relationships are becoming increasingly prominent and openly declared, especially in modern times. Moreover, in some countries homosexuals are acknowledged and given empathy. This article endeavours to investigate this issue from the perspective of Islamic law. By using arguments from verses of the Alqur'an, the hadith of the Prophet, and the maqasid ash-syari'ah approach, this article refutes the practice of homosexuality in its various forms.

Abstract

Discussion of the jilbab is truly very interesting. In several past studies, the concept of wearing the jilbab has  been seen as very controversial. There have been several contemporary Islamic scholars (ulama) with interesting perspectives on the jilbab. One of these Indonesian scholars is the Islamic interpretor (Mufassir) M. Quraish Shihab, who has written a book on the jilbab. Although the jilbab is not the area of concern of the author, using prior knowledge I will look at M. Quraish’s rationale in making the controversial decision to write on the jilbab and also at his research methodology. It is his research methodology on law-making that the author particularly focuses on in this paper.

Abstract

The definition of gender is expectation and effort of society to construct character, characteristic and role of man and woman. Their character , characteristic and role determination which constructed by society is part of culture and civilization and it revealed in language expression. Language expression, both Arabic and Indonesia language, is something can be analyzed, how its effect from and to social life or culture society, also its effect from and to gender equality. Finally, there is continuity effect day by day, then new words and statements always come to strengthen gender equality. This condition needs good explanation and information for all people to understand this value. And one of the strategies for explanation and information is by education media, especially by language education based on gender equality values.[Pengertian  istilah jender adalah harapan dan upaya masyarakat membentuk karakter dan sifat serta peran perempuan dan laki-laki. Perlakuan atau ketentuan sifat, peran dan karekter manusia itu merupakan bagian dari kebudayaan dan diungkapkan dalam suatu isi kebudayaan berupa bahasa. Ekspresi bahasa, baik bahasa Arab maupun bahasa Indonesia, suatu produk yang  dapat dianalisa berdasarkan adanya pengaruh dari dan kepada masyarakat termasuk kaitannnya dengan kesetaraan jender. Selanjutnya nilai-nilai dalam kedua bahasa itu akan terus menerus mempengaruhi untuk  melahirkan kata dan ungkapan lainnya yang berkiatan dengan kesetaraan jender.  Perlu keterangan dan informasi serta nilai-nilai penyeimbang untuk menjelaskan nilai-nilai itu. Salah satu cara strategis untuk menyampaikan hal itu adalah melalui pendidikan, khususnya pendidikan bahasa berdasarkan nilai-nilai kesetaraan gender.]

Abstract

Muhammad Yunus percaya bahwa membuka akses ke pinjaman bank merupakan cara yang paling penting untuk pengentasan kemiskinan dan wanita lebih dapat dipercaya dalam menggunakan uang daripada laki­laki. Cara ini berhasil dipraktikan Yunus di Bangladesh yang diapresiasi dengan hadiah nobel perdamaian. Keberhasilan tersebut telah menggugah banyak negara untuk menerapkan model­nya, termasuk Indonesia dengan program Simpan Pinjam Perempuan (SPP) PNPM Mandiri di daerah pedesaan. Program ini memberikan akses khusus kepada perempuan untuk memperoleh pinjaman, sedangkan laki­laki tidak diperbolehkan mengakses program. Menjadi penting untuk memeriksa bagaimana peran laki­laki dalam penggunaan pinjaman dari Program SPP, mengingat dominasi budaya patriarki dalam masyarakat Jawa. Makalah ini menemukan bahwa ada beberapa jenis peran laki­laki dalam program. Salah satu jenisnya dramaturgi; meskipun perempuan secara resmi mengambil pinjaman, tetapi suaminya yang benar­benar menjalankan bisnis tersebut.[Muhammad Yunus believes that opening access to bank loan is the most important way for poverty alleviation and women are more credible than men in monetary management. This method is successfully practicing in Bangladesh and Yunus got the Nobel Peace Prize. This success story has inspired many countries to implement its models, including Indonesia with the Simpan Pinjam Perempuan (SPP) PNPM Mandiri program in rural areas. The program provides special access to women to obtain a loan, while men are not allowed to access the program. It becomes important to examine how the male role in using the SPP loan program is due to the dominance of patriarchal culture among Javanese societies. This article discovers that there are several types of male role in this program, one of them is type of dramaturgy; the woman formally takes the loan, but her husband who actually runs the business.]

Abstract

Islam as a religion of rah}mat for all of nature, without knowing the sex and gender. However, the role and rights of women is often times overlooked in public relations. Islamic community organizations as well as institutions have not provided a significant change in gender issues. Thus, this article will try to reconstruct the gender issues on women and the Islamic community organizations, especially related to the role and rights of women in the organization.

Abstract

The negative effect of child marriage is one of the historical background of the promulgation of marriage law of Indonesia no. 1 of 1974 and its government regulation. Howwever, the ultimate goal of the promulgation of the law seems never able to achieve. The main reason of the failure is always argument that the Indonesian marriage law is not accordance with Islamic marriage law. The article tries to prove that child marriage is only possible for the prophet Muhammd Saw not for his followers. This possibility only for the prophet therefore is a kind of exceptional regulation. The conclusion is based basically on al-Qur an and sunna of the prophet from a number of perspective and combination of thematic and holistic analysis and approach.

Abstract

Mengkaji konstruksi identitas gender dalam komunitas adat dengan kearifan lokalnya ibarat pisau bermata  dua. Ia bisa mendominasi atau sebaliknya membebaskan. Salah satu kecenderungan positif bagi pembebasan perempuan adalah performativitas perempuan dalam ritual adat Sunda. Kajian ini memfokuskan pada masalah performativitas perempuan dalam ritual mapag (menyambut) Dewi Sri di komunitas adat Kampung Banceuy di Kabupaten Subang, Jawa Barat. Studi dilakukan dengan pendekatan etnografi feminis dengan menggunakan analisis Butler tentang performativitas. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat dua sudut peran perempuan yang menonjol dilihat dari struktur ritual serta atribut pakaian dan penampilan. Secara struktur, perempuan lebih banyak memegang peranan dari sejak acara persiapan ritual hingga pasca ritual. Dewi Sri sebagai simbol kehidupan dianggap menjadi penanda utama gender acts yang membentuk identitasnya dalam wilayah gagasan keperempuanan yang serba simbolis (padi). Selain itu, dimensi atribut dan penampilan dalam ritual juga memegang peranan signifikan seperti tampak pada rias wajah dan pakaian penuh warna. Namun, penampilan feminin sepanjang ritual pada dasarnya bukan produk dari identitas feminin, sebaliknya, identitas feminin itu diperoleh karena perempuan menampilkan atribut pakaian, tarian dengan menggerakkan tubuh dan bertingkah feminin secara berulang-ulang. Performativitas dalam atribut dan penampilannya itu lebih disebabkan aturan adat yang hegemonik dan memaksa dirinya agar mendapatkan pengakuan secara sosial di masyarakat. Meski terjadi negosiasi dalam penerimaannya, perempuan melalui pakaian dan gerakan itu kemudian berusaha menampilkan dirinya sebagai perempuan yang dibayangkan  secara ideal oleh komunitas adat tersebut.

Abstract

Women's issues have always stimulated discussion; and amongst the most debated issues is about menstruation or popularly known as haidh in Islamic literature. This signifies that although menstruation is a routine event for most adult women, it has significant consequencesfor their lives. The debates on the issues of menstruation is heated when they are not only seen within the context of women's reproductive and sexual health, but also put into the theological frame, such as in the event related to religious rituals of prayers and hajj (pilgrimage to the holy land Mecca), in which menstruating women are prohibited to engage with.

Abstract

The article explores theological, normative and sexual construction as well as the power relation and its contesta- tion that contribute to the perpetuation of the hegemony of patriarchal discourse on early marriage. It also discloses the mechanism of knowledge power that operates in the discourse of the issue. The phenomenon of early marriage illustrates how knowledge is constructed, controlled and perpetuated through several mechanisms to be eventually systematic discursive practice. The discourse and practice of early marriage relate with a set of patriarchal knowl- edge constructed based on understanding of religious texts and legitimated theologically and culturally by related agencies. Knowledge on the sinful of free sex and the danger of woman’s body in the one side and in the other side marriage as part of worship is standardized as norm and social order (a norm that woman has to cover their body, get marriage early to be able to be protected) which operate in the system of power as the ruler and controller of the practice and the continuation of the power of the knowledge. A set of norms and orders including the banning, com- pulsory, stigmatization, and stereotype become strategic mechanism in strengthening the knowledge power on the normality of early marriage. Several religious and cultural practices become the locus to instill the norms and the knowledge on the early marriage as being a religiously legitimized sexual channel and prevention for unwanted preg- nancy outside marital institution. The series of the construction of knowledge and of sexuality on the body of woman, as well as on theologically unwanted pregnancy and woman’s age limit, is standardized in the form of norms and orders that function to strengthen the knowledge. Hence, the power of patriarchal and discriminative knowledge systematically contributes to the perpetuation of discourse and practice of early marriage. The reconstruction of non-patriarchal and non-discriminative knowledge is urgent in order to create what Foucault calls “the rupture from the past,” by involving authoritative agencies and re-inculcating egalitarian norms and orders as a control over the continuation of non-discriminative knowledge and practices in relation to early marriage. [Tulisan ini mengeskplorasi konstruksi teologis normatif, seksualitas, dan relasi power serta kontestasinya yang memberikan kontribusi terhadap pelanggengan serta hegemoni wacana patriarkhi sekitar pernikahan dini dan me- kanisme kekuasaan pengetahuan yang beroperasi dalam wacana pernikahan dini tersebut. Fenomena pernikahan dini menggambarkan bagaimana pengetahuan dibentuk, dikendalikan serta dilanggengkan melalui berbagai me- kanisme sehingga menjadi praktek diskursif yang sistematik. Wacana dan praktek pernikahan dini berkaitan den- gan berbagai pengetahuan patriarkhi yang dibangun berdasarkan pemahaman terhadap teks agama dan dilegiti- masi oleh agen-agen (tokoh dan lembaga agama) dan legitimasi kultural. Pengetahuan tentang dosa seks bebas dan bahaya tubuh perempuan di satu sisi, dan di sisi lain perkawinan sebagai ibadah dibakukan menjadi norma dan peraturan (norma bahwa perempuan harus menutup tubuhnya, harus segera menikah agar terjaga) yang dalam sistem kekuasaan berfungsi sebagai pengatur dan pengontrol praktek dan keberlanjutan kuasa pengetahuan terse- but. Berbagai bentuk aturan dan norma, seperti larangan, keharusan, stigmatisasi dan stereotipi, menjadi mekanis- me strategis dalam mengokohkan kekuasaan pengetahuan tentang “kenormalan” pernikahan dini. Norma disosial- isasikan dalam berbagai kegiatan keagamaan dan praktek-praktek kultural dan pada saat yang sama dibangun pengetahuan tentang pernikahan dini sebagai lembaga penyaluran hasrat seksual dan menjadi solusi antisipatif kehamilan diluar lembaga perkawinan. Rangkaian konstruksi pengetahuan dan seksualitas tentang tubuh perem- puan sebagai sumber godaan, pacaran identik dengan hubungan suami Isteri, kehamilan tidak dikehendaki, dan keterbatasan usia, kemudian dibekukan dalam bentuk norma (misalnya keharusan menjaga virginitas, keharusan menjaga nama baik keluarga dan larangan melanggar norma) dan berbagai aturan yang menguatkan pengetahuan tersebut, dan memberikan kontribusi dalam melanggengkan wacana dan praktek pernikahan dini. Analisis relasi kuasa tentang pernikahan dini memperlihatkan bahwa kuasa pengetahuan yang patriarkhi dan dikriminatif secara sistemik memberikan kontribusi signifikan terhadap pelanggengan praktek pernikahan dini. Dengan demikian, agar dapat mewujudkan apa yang disebut Foucalt sebagai “the rupture from the past,” diperlukan konstruksi pengetahuan yang non patriarkhi dan non diskriminatif, dengan melibatkan agen-agen dan lembaga yang dipandang otoritatif dan legitimatif, serta pembakuan norma dan etika yang egaliter sebagai alat kontrol terhadap pengetahuan terse- but. Dengan pembakuan norma, aturan dan etika maka subyektifitas dan praktek masyarakat juga akan dapat berubah menjadi egaliter dan non dikriminatif.]
