Membaca Fenomena Menguatnya Perayaan “Islamisasi” di Indonesia Pasca Reformasi

The strengthening of Islamization (Islamisasi) or the revival of religious awakening in the post-reform Indonesia has become an appealing topic to be studied by social scientists. Islamization, in this study, is not defined in terms of the discourse of religious political relations (such as relations of state and religion), but refers to the existence of social religious expressions which are marked by considerable exploration to form a new meaning of Islam (Islamization) which involves various elements, especially capitalism and modernity. This paper provides an overview of how social scientists see the phenomenon of Islamization in the post-reform Indonesia. This overview is important in order to discuss the viewpoints or better known as "standing positions" of scientists in seeing the phenomenon of Islamization in Indonesia. This paper uses a literature study in the form of collecting various relevant studies related to the analysis of Islamization in the post-reform Indonesia. It then simplifies a number of selected studies from various scientific writings and finds various perspectives, including ones which see this phenomenon as a symptom of radicalism, a form of the success of commodification of Islam. Another perspective makes use of the concept of Post-Islamism and links it with the hybrid identity concept. In the end, this paper concludes that there are two big perspectives, besides the mainstream perspective of radicalism and terrorism, namely the commodification of Islam and Post-Islamism. This research argues that these two perspectives can be used as a basis for thinking in reading the dynamics of increasing social-religious expression in Indonesia with different analytical levels.

The purpose of this study is to find and explain more deeply about the motives, experiences and meaning of Om Swastiastu's greetings for communication between religions. The research method used in this research is the phenomenology method. While the data collection techniques used are non-participant observation, in-depth interviews, literature study and documentation. The subjects of this study were government officials or apparatuses who said Om Swastiastu greeting, amounting to 7 people and taking informants using purposive sampling. The results showed that the future motives (in order motive) greetings from Om Swastiastu were self existence and tolerance and motives from the past (because motive) greetings from Om Swastiastu were due to internal encouragement, the spirit of nationality, a sense of nationalism and the principle of neutrality. While the experience of saying Om swastiastu greetings is divided into pleasant experiences (positive), that is feeling valued, getting new political relations, good treatment, sympathy and growing solidarity between people while the unpleasant experience (negative) is mandating unfavorable treatment, derision in the form of harsh words, criticism and stay away from and considered to have no stance.

Cosmopolitanism is less an ideal than a description. It merely assumes that wherever and whenever history has set peoples in motion across national boundaries, sometimes by force, many of them and their descendants will show signs of divided loyalties and a hybrid identity. Cosmopolitanism should no longer be conceived as singular—an overrriding loyalty to humanity as a whole—but plural. Instead of an unhealthily skinny ethical abstraction, we now have many blooming, fleshed-out particulars. How much do these variants have in common with each other? How much of the concept’s old normative sense is preserved or transformed by these empirical particulars? What is it exactly that makes them interesting, makes them valuable? Cosmopolitanism can now be defined as any one of many possible modes of life, thought, and sensibility that are produced when commitments and loyalties are multiple and overlapping. There are more kinds of cosmopolitanism out there to be explored and observed. Social scientists, cultural critics, and historians can stake claims to a concept that had largely belonged to philosophers and political theorists. No longer a badge of privilege, it is now possible to speak of the cosmopolitanism of the poor.

Computational Identification

This paper introduces the Elite Network Shifts (ENS) project to the Asian Studies community where computational techniques are used with digitised newspaper articles to describe changes in relations among Indonesian political elites. Reflecting on how “political elites” and “political relations” are understood by the elites, as well as across the disciplinary boundaries of the social and computational sciences, it suggests ways to operationalise these concepts for digital research. It then presents the results of a field trip where six Indonesian political elites were asked to evaluate the accuracy of their own computational networks generated by the project. The main findings of the paper are: (1) The computational identification of political elites is relatively successful, while much work remains on categorising their relations, (2) social scientists should focus on capturing single dimensions of complex social phenomena when using computational techniques, and (3) computational techniques are not able to capture multiple understandings of social concepts.

Three Stages

Our understanding of the cultural transformation phase of the Islamic grave in South Sulawesi is still limited to the study of its territorial scope, not specific to a particular locality or kingdom. This study aims to determine the stage of transformation of Islamic shape tomb in Tanete Kingdom, Barru and its causal factors. The research used artefactual data which are four complex of King Tanete tomb, interview data and historical data. The methods used are survey, interview, literature study, identification, and interpretation. The study concludes three stages of transformation shape tomb at Tanete, the first transformation of the early seventeenth century characterized by tombstone, both occurring in the mid-18th century to the beginning of the nineteenth century characterized by decorative and inscribed tombs, and the third occurred beginning of the 20th century with the characteristic of European architecture. The cause of the three stages of the transformation of the tomb is the external factor, the first stage of the Gowa kingdom, the second stage of Malay culture, and the third stage is the influence of political relations with the Dutch Government. Pemahaman kita tentang fase transformasi budaya kubur Islam di Sulawesi Selatan masih terbatas pada kajian yang sifatnya wilayah, belum spesifik pada satu lokalitas atau kerajaan tertentu. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui tahapan tranformasi bentuk makam Islam di Kerajaan Tanete, Barru dan faktor penyebabnya. Data yang digunakan adalah data artefaktual yaitu empat kompleks makam Raja Tanete, data wawancara dan data sejarah. Metode yang digunakan adalah survei, wawancara, studi literatur, identifikasi dan interpretasi. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan tiga tahap transformasi bentuk makam di Tanete, transformasi pertama pada awal abad ke-17 yang dicirikan oleh makam bercungkup, kedua terjadi pada pertengahan abad ke-18 hingga awal abad ke-19 yang dicirikan oleh makam dekoratif dan berinskripsi, dan ketiga terjadi awal abad ke-20 dengan ciri arsitektur Eropa. Penyebab tiga tahap transformasi bentuk makam tersebut adalah faktor eksternal, tahap pertama dari kerajaan Gowa, tahap kedua dari budaya Melayu, dan tahap ketiga adalah pengaruh hubungan politik dengan Pemerintah Belanda.
