AbstractThis article discusses the ways in which newsprint allowed local contributors and readers in colonial settings to think across gender, race, and other core colonial subject-positions. It also asks about the extent to which the central role of men in controlling local print networks has implications for how we conceptualise “publics” and “public spheres” in the colonial era.

Penelitian ini berusaha menjelaskan proses Islamisasi di Manado di mana dakwah Alkhairaat sebagai objeknya, karena dianggap memiliki peran penting dalam proses Islamisasi tersebut, terutama dalam mengimbangi dan membendung arus missionaris pada masa kolonial. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian sejarah yang dibatasi dari tahun 1947-1960. Pembatasan ini dikarenakan pada tahun 1947 pendidikan dan dakwah Akhairaat mulai menjamur dan turut mewarnai semaraknya penggunaan ruang di Manado pascakolonial. Pada tahun 1960, dakwah Alkhairaat semakin terlihat dengan didirikannya pesantren Alkhairaat, yang terletak di Komo Luar, sebagai pesantren pertama di Manado. Penggunaan metode sejarah: heuristik, verifikasi, interpretasi dan historiografi, tentunya menjadi keharusan dalam penelitian ini guna mendapatkan karya ilmiah yang bersifat sejarah kritis. Hasil penelitian kemudian menunjukkan proses Islamisasi dan perkembangan Islam di Manado pada pertengahan abad ke-20, tidak terlepas dari peran penting Alkhairaat di bidang dakwah dan pendidikan. Sejak tahun 1947 mcgf eadrasah Alkhairaat telah menjamur di Manado, hingga pada tahun 1960 berdirilah pesantren Alkhairaat pertama di Komo Luar Manado. Pada rentan waktu yang bersamaan juga terjadi perubahan sosial-budaya masyarakat Islam Manado yang menonjolkan sikap tawasuth (moderat), tasammuh (toleransi), tawazzun (seimbang), dan ta’addul (adil), yang kesemuanya mencerminkan nilai-nilai agama.    Kata Kunci: Islamisasi, dakwah Alkhairaat, masyarakat majemuk, Kota ManadoIslamization and Al-Khairat Da’wah in Compound Society in the city of Manado between 1947-1960This research tries to explain the process of Islamization in Manado where the Alkhairaat Da’wah as the object, as it is viewed to have important role in the process, especially to offset and stem the missionary during the colonial era. This research is a historical one limited to the 1947-1960 period of time. The limitation is due to the fact that in 1947, the Alkhairat education and da’wah started blossoming and put color in public spaces in the postcolonial Manado. In 1960, the Alkhairaat da’wah became more visible for the establishment of their pesantren located in  Komo Luar as the first pesantren in Manado. Heuristics, verification, interpretation, and historiography are essential methods in order to achieve a critical history. The research finding then shows that Islamization process and Islamic progress in Manado in mid 20 AD can be separated from the important role of Alkhairaat in da’wah and education. In the same period of time, Socio-cultural changes occur among Islamic society in Manado that promote views of tawasuth (moderat) tasammuh (tolerant), tawazzun (balance), and taaddul (fair) which reflect the religion views.Keywords: the Alkhairaat da’wah, Ccompound society, the City of Manado

The period of Japanese occupation for 3 years in Indonesia is sort when compared to the Dutch colonial period. However, at that time it was a critical time for the formation of various ideological thoughts. One of the ideologies that emerged in the Japanese colonial era was the ideology of "Greater Asia", which is known as the ideology of unification of Asia. During the Pacific War, Japanese writers who underwent military service in Indonesia published many of his writings for the purposes of Japanese military propaganda, especially those related to prapaganda of Greater Asia ideology. One of the most active writers in spreading this ideology was Asano Akira. This research clarifies the role of Asano Akira in spreading the ideology of Greater Asia through its activities and mobility in Java with the approach of new historicism and orientalism.

Penelitian ini dilatarbelakangi oleh adanya sebuah pemikiran tafsir dalam tradisi Jawa yang menempatkan perempuan dalam posisi yang lebih banyak bergerak di wilayah domestik. Karena persepsi mufassir yang melihat kedudukan laki-laki lebih berpotensi daripada perempuan, maka perempuan kurang diberi ruang dalam sektor publik. Di dalam salah satu karya tafsir dari tradisi Jawa yakni al-Iklil fi Ma’ani al-Tanzil karya Misbah Mustafa, ditemukan pemahaman bahwa peran laki-laki lebih utama daripada perempuan melalui serangkaian tafsir terhadap ayat-ayat gender. Melalui analisis struktur sosial terhadap beberapa tema gender seperti asal-usul penciptaan manusia, poligami, dan kepemimpinan laki-laki ataupun perempuan, pemikiran Misbah Mustafa terpola dengan jelas. Dengan menggunakan metode deskriptif-analitis, hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pemikiran Misbah Mustafa dalam tafsir al-Iklil cenderung mengulang-ulang, menukil dan melegitimasi pendapat para ulama tradisional normatif yang kebanyakan mensubordinasikan kedudukan perempuan. Tulisan ini merefleksikan ke-arah bagaimana konstruksi sosial dan budaya mempengaruhi pola penafsiran Misbah Mustafa dalam karyanya tafsir al-Iklil.[This research is motivated by an interpretive thought in the Javanese tradition that places women in a position that is more engaged in domestic sphere. Because the perception of mufassir who see the position of men has more potential than women, women are less given space in the public sector. In one of the interpretations of Javanese tradition, al-Iklil fi Ma’ani al-Tanzil by Misbah Mustafa, it is found that the role of men is more important than women through a series of interpretations of gender verses. Through the analysis of social structure on several gender themes such as the origin of human creation, polygamy, and male or female leadership, Misbah Mustafa’s thoughts were clearly patterned. By using a descriptive-analytical method, the results of the study show that Misbah Mustafa’s thinking in the interpreting the Quran tends to repeat, copy and legitimize the opinions of traditional normative scholars who mostly subordinate the position of women. This paper also shows how social and cultural construction influence Misbah Mustafa’s interpretation patterns in his work, al-Iklil.]

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to discuss the role of ALM organizations within a Nordic model of the public sphere. Design/methodology/approach This is a conceptual paper discussing the role of archives, libraries and museums in light of a societal model of the Nordic public sphere. Throughout the discussions, the author draw on empirical and theoretical research from sociology, political science, media studies, cultural policy studies, archival science, museology, and library and information science to help advance our understanding of these organizations in a wider societal context. Findings The paper shows that ALM organizations play an important role for the infrastructure of a civil public sphere. Seen as a cluster, these organizations are providers of information that can be employed in deliberative activities in mediated public spheres, as well as training arenas for citizens to use prior to entering such spheres. Furthermore, ALM organizations are themselves public spheres, as they can serve specific communities and help create and maintain identities, and solidarities, all of which are important parts of a civil public sphere. Research limitations/implications Future research should investigate whether these roles are an important part of ALM organizations contribution to public spheres in other regions of the world. Originality/value Through introducing a theoretical model developed within sociology and connecting it to ongoing research in archival science, museology, and library and information science, the author connects the societal role of archives, libraries, and museums to broader discussions within the social sciences.
