New Perspective

Every adherent of a religion or belief has a certain way to get closer to God. A strong desire to be close to God the creator of nature is a spirituality that can change human behavior for the better. The meeting between Islam and Sapta Darma is a way to find inner calm which has the concept of physical and spiritual awareness. Hence this article wants to explain the form of syncretism between Islam and Sapta Darma in Surabaya in the form of prostration or ening. The prostration performed by Sapta Darma is not a prayer, but a special ritual of seeking tranquility in the experience of life as a cultural interpretation. Prostration in Islam is the implementation of prayer to get closer to Allah with the provisions taught in Islam. This study uses in-depth interview as methodology to find the stage of religious maturity from the aspect of Shari'a and the implementation of religious teachings. This Research finds that, even though the syncretism between Islam and Sapta Darma is so pronounced but, this condition encourages its followers to maintain the two because they find what they want to achieve namely, balance and spiritual well-being. It shows that Islam and Sapta Darma are not as an escape but, as a way of life. This study also aims to provide a new perspective or paradigm in understanding religious concepts and spiritual values through syncretism between Islam and Sapta Darma. Syncretic diversity has been attached to society and has become the cultural identity of its locality.Setiap penganut agama atau kepercayaan memiliki cara tertentu untuk mendekatkan diri dengan Tuhannya. Keinginan yang kuat untuk dekat dengan Tuhan pencipta alam merupakan spiritualitas yang mampu mengubah perilaku manusia menjadi lebih baik. Pertemuan antara Islam dan Sapta Darma menjadi jalan untuk menemukan ketenangan batin yang memiliki konsep kesadaran jasmani dan rohani. Artikel ini menjelaskan bentuk sinkretisme antara Islam dan Sapta Darma di Surabaya, dalam bentuk sujud atau ening. Sujud yang dilakukan Sapta Darma bukanlah pelaksanaan sholat tetapi, ritual khusus mencari ketenangan dalam pengalaman hidup sebagai interpretasi budaya. Sujud dalam Islam adalah pelaksanaan sholat untuk mendekatkan diri kepada Allah dengan ketentuan yang diajarkan dalam Islam.  Studi ini menggunakan metode in-depth interview guna, menemukan tingkat kematangan dalam beragama dari aspek syariat dan implementasi ajaran agama. Temuan penelitian menunjukan, kendati sinkretisme antara Islam dan Sapta Darma begitu terasa namun, kondisi ini mendorong mereka tetap mempertahankan keduanya karena, menemukan apa yang ingin dicapai yaitu, keseimbangan dan kesejahteraan spiritualitas. Agama Islam dan Sapta Darma bukan sebagai pelarian hidup semata tetapi, paradigma baru untuk memahami konsep keberagamaan dan nilai-nilai spiritualitas umat beragama melalui sinkretisme Islam dan Sapta Darma. Keberagamaan sinkretis telah melekat pada masyarakat dan menjadi identitas budaya lokalitasnya.

The Relationship

This article explores the significance of land in Chenjerai Hove’s stories. The setting of the stories affects the choices of the protagonists, depending on their status on the land. Hove’s selected novels, Shadows and Ancestors, explore this phenomenon in the context of the Native Purchase lands of the then Rhodesia. The cultural disruption of moving to commercial land as opposed to the land of ancestors has an impact on identity of the characters, both personally and as perceived by others. At times, such perceptions contradict each other, but they also have implications for the characters’ economic and psychological well-being. This article therefore sets out to explore the relationship between land and culture as depicted in Hove’s novels. The main argument is that, while the Native Purchase areas accorded economic status to the Africans involved, it fractured their cultural identity as they had to live by the dictates of the colonial administration. Culture refers to a way of life and includes manner of dress, food, language, social interaction and many other aspects. This in turn adds insight to how the interface of administration of land affects Zimbabwean citizens as literature here holds up a mirror to real life.

Politically Active

Americans today face no shortage of threats to their financial well-being, such as job and retirement insecurity, health care costs, and spiraling college tuition. While one might expect that these concerns would motivate people to become more politically engaged on the issues, this often doesn't happen, and the resulting inaction carries consequences for political debates and public policy. Moving beyond previously studied barriers to political organization, this book sheds light on the public's inaction over economic insecurities by showing that the rhetoric surrounding these issues is actually self-undermining. By their nature, the very arguments intended to mobilize individuals—asking them to devote money or time to politics—remind citizens of their economic fears and personal constraints, leading to undermobilization and nonparticipation. The book explains why the set of people who become politically active on financial insecurity issues is therefore quite narrow. When money is needed, only those who care about the issues but are not personally affected become involved. When time is needed, participation is limited to those not personally affected or those who are personally affected but outside of the labor force with time to spare. The latter explains why it is relatively easy to mobilize retirees on topics that reflect personal financial concerns, such as Social Security and Medicare. In general, however, when political representation requires a large group to make their case, economic insecurity threats are uniquely disadvantaged. Scrutinizing the foundations of political behavior, the book offers a new perspective on collective participation.
