DIGITAL SYSTEM BLOCKCHAIN SEBAGAI STRATEGI UNTUK OPTIMALISASI PENGELOLAAN DANA ZAKAT: STUDI KONSEPTUAL

Digitalization is a new phenomenon in the early twenty-first century connecting technology with civilization and benefits mankind in an intelligent and efficient way. The adoption of the blockchain concept in zakat institutions is the time to be a solution in dealing with existing Islamic problems such as the collection and distribution of zakat funds. This study was to provide an overview of the opportunities, potential and capabilities of blockchain system adoption in zakat institutions, especially in Indonesia. The method was a literature study by reviewing various relevant literatures and balanced with related studies on phenomena in various countries. With dynamic technological developments, especially the emergence of blockchain technology, the zakat ecosystem can be further enhanced since blockchain offerred the concept of data decentralization which were permanent, real-time, secure and transparent. Several things to encourage this practice could be done by increasing the capabilities of zakat institutions' human resources, increasing awareness of compulsory zakat and the concept of digitizing zakat, integrated cooperation between OPZs, and collaborating with various digital platforms.

Twenty First Century

In the early twenty-first century, liberal democracies have witnessed their foundational norms of critique and deliberation being disrupted by a combination of populist and technological forces. A distinctive style of dispute has appeared, in which a speaker denounces the unfairness of all liberal and institutional systems of equivalence, including the measures of law, economics and the various other ‘tests’ which convention scholars have deemed core to organisations. The article reviews how sociologists of critique have tended to treat critical capacities as oriented towards consensus but then considers how technologies of real-time ‘control’ circumvent liberal critique altogether. In response, a different type of dispute emerges in the digital public sphere, which abandons equivalences in general, instead adopting a non-representational template of warfare. This style of post-liberal dispute is manifest in the rhetoric of populists but does not originate there.

Dead Man

The questions that drove Blake’s American reception, from its earliest moments in the nineteenth century through to the explosion of Blakeanism in the mid-twentieth century, did not disappear. Visions of America continued to be part of Blake’s late twentieth- and early twenty-first century American legacy. This chapter begins with the 1982 film Blade Runner, which was directed by the British Ridley Scott but had an American-authored screenplay and was based on a 1968 American novel, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? It moves to Jim Jarmusch’s 1995 film, Dead Man and Paul Chan’s twenty-first century social activism as part of a protest group called The Friends of William Blake, exploring common themes of democracy, freedom, limit, nationhood, and poetic shape.
