<p><strong>Abstrak:</strong> Perempuan Muslim dan Penggunaan Cadar: Apa Maknanya?. Perdebatan mengenai perempuan Muslim dan tindakan mereka mengenakan hijab atau menutup wajah bukanlah fenomena baru. Makalah ini akan mengeksplorasi perspektif memakai hijab melalui analisis semiotik serta fenomena perempuan dan menutup wajah pada umumnya. Kajian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif, dan data dikumpulkan melalui pengamatan dan kajian pustaka. Temuan penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa kerudung melambangkan berbagai perspektif di tempat yang berbeda, budaya dan tradisi. Sebagaimana hijab sering diasosiasikan sebagai bagian agama Islam, hijab juga merupakan simbol yang dipengaruhi oleh berbagai faktor. Hijab menjadi lambang identitas, religiusitas, kesopanan dan hak pilihan. Hijab juga mengungkapkan sikap mereka dalam masalah politik dan menunjukkan struktur sosial. Meskipun cadar bisa menggambarkan keterjangkauan perempuan dalam mengambil pakaian yang mereka pilih untuk hijab, beberapa simbol perlu ditinjau kembali karena mungkin ada beberapa perubahan dalam pemotretannya.</p><p><strong>Abstract:</strong> The debate upon women and their act of wearing hijab or veiling is not new phenomenon. This paper will explore the perspectives of wearing hijab through semiotic analysis as well as the phenomenon of women and veiling in general. This study employs qualitative approach, and the data were collected through observation and literature review. The findings indicate that veil symbolizes various perspectives in different places, cultures and traditions. As the veil often indexes as the religion of Islam, it is also a symbol which is affected by various factors. It becomes a symbol of identity, religiosity, modesty, and agency. The veil also reveals their stance in political matters and show the social structures. Even though the veil could portray the women’s affordability in taking up the clothing they choose to veil, some symbolizations need to be revisited since there might be some changes in its depictions.<br /> <br /><strong>Keywords:</strong> women, veiling, hijab, symbol, Muslim</p>

The Veil

When it comes to Muslims in the West, nothing is a more sensational visualsymbol than the hijab. Due to the current Muslim and non-Muslim fixationon it, scholarly examination of hijab and related issues is necessary.The Muslim Veil in North America examines some of its historical, sociological/anthropological, and theological aspects. Part 1 engages with theveil’s hyper-visibility in Canada. Since the book does not engage with theAmerican experience, I am not sure why the title refers to North America.I enjoyed part 2 immensely, and will use it as a reference on the subject.The bulk of this section explores the historical development of the veil’stheological status and nature. This book is different from, say, Maudoodi’sPurdah, which sees the veil in its contemporary form as a product of historicalprocesses.This book is dedicated to diasporic Muslim women, although introductorymaterial in various chapters addresses readers unfamiliar with Islam. Undergraduates will appreciate its accessibility in comparison tomost academic texts, and it will make the subject comprehensible to layreaders. Unfortunately, this means that the book wavers between being anacademic (education, anthropology, and sociology) and a lay read. This isnot because the entire book is tailored to different kinds of readers, butbecause its two parts are rather disjointed. Part 1 addresses a more lay andintroductory social science-related reader with basic information; part 2, onthe other hand, is a highly specialized examination of exegetical and hadithhistory.The editors, in addressing a gaping void in the literature, possiblyattempt to do too much: specialized theology, history, politics, anthropology,and sampling of “voices.” I would have preferred it to be more selective.Also, “let the voices speak” is a commendable approach, but after a certainpoint we should go beyond it. There is also a line between “reportage syndrome,”writing without an adequate theoretical framework, and skillfulacademic writing, which allows contextualized voices to be heard by fellowacademics within the social sciences. I would also have preferred that thetheology and sociology chapters be connected by common threads ...

The purpose of the presented study is to understand and describe the mechanisms for generating social capital in the groups of devoted football supporters in Poland, by: (a) exploring those features of football supporters’ social structures that are essential for creating social capital and enabling them to maintain it within those groups; and (b) trying to identify the historical processes which foster emergence of these features in supporters’ social structures. The presented analysis is part of a wider research project on Polish football supporters’ social capital. It draws on a qualitative approach based on the triangulation of a variety of methods: on-going ethnography, participant observation, individual interviews and content analysis (internet forums, book biographies, magazines, zines and qualitative research materials from previous research). Drawing on Coleman’s concept, this study identifies the presence of specific forms of social capital ( appropriate social organization, obligations and expectations, norms and effective sanctions and information channels) and internal factors ( ideology, closure and stability) facilitating maintenance of this ‘source’ in the structures of devoted supporters’ groups in Poland. The results show also that social capital is created on the stands and then transferred to the other areas of social life. Furthermore, the social capital used in areas other than where it was first created can strengthen efficiency and trust in the original organization. Further, external factors like the co-production process and ‘war’ with the state are considered as variables fostering the emergence of social capital in the analysed structures. However, these same external factors also made those structures very exclusive.

This article examines the practice and meanings of the new veiling and of Islamization more generally for young Muslim Javanese women in the new middle class. Drawing on eight months of ethnographic research in the Central Java city of Yogyakarta in 1999 and three subsequent one-month visits during 2001, 2002, and 2003, I explore the social and religious attitudes of female students at two of Yogyakarta's leading centers of higher education: Gadjah Mada University, a nondenominational state university, and the nearby Sunan Kalijaga National Islamic University. The ethnographic and life-historical materials discussed here underscore that the new veiling is neither a traditionalist survival nor an antimodernist reaction but rather a complex and sometimes ambiguous effort by young Muslim women to reconcile the opportunities for autonomy and choice offered by modern education with a heightened commitment to the profession of Islam.

The results of this study are that the scholars have different opinions about the limits of Muslim genitalia which have implications for the use of the hijab, the majority of scholars say that the hijab is mandatory with the boundaries of the face and palms visible, some scholars say that the face and palms are included in the genitals. . A small number of scholars say that the use of the headscarf is not mandatory, therefore the exposed hair, hands and feet can be seen because it is not part of the genitals for women. 1) the opinions of the scholars who oblige the veil are Ibn Abbas, Sayyid Qutb, Ibn Katsir, Wahbah Az-Zuhaili, and Yusuf Qaradhawi, 2) The opinions of scholars who do not require the hijab are Quraish Syihab, Nurkholis Madjid, Muhammad Sa'id Al-Asmawi, and Muhammad Shahrur.

AbstractThis chapter is a literature review which aims to highlight the most critical aspects discussed in the surrogacy scholarship, whose interdisciplinarity represents a major value for the advancement of the sociological understanding of the phenomenon. The literature review is organized into three levels. The first is that of individual experience, which includes some of the main ethnographies that have tried to explain the motivations that push people, aspiring parents but above all the surrogates, to undertake this procreative path. At the second level, that of the social structure, there are three recurring themes: inequality—explained through the concept of stratified reproduction—which permeates the relationships between the parties and upon which the surrogacy market proliferates; the transformation of procreation into a productive process in which life is commodified and the woman reduced to her womb; the transformation of kinship from a natural fact to a cultural product, which is defined by one’s own intentions, and the parallel fragmentation of motherhood into several figures. At the third level, that of representation, there are the studies that discuss how surrogacy is told by the media, and the studies that provide a systematization of the different feminist perspectives on the subject.

The issue of radicalism and fundamentalism is still in the news aimed at Muslims. The phenomenon of hijrah has become a trend among the Muslim community, Anis Baswedan responded positively as an indication of the awakening of Islam, but there are differences of opinion, according to Ahmad Muzaki that the phenomenon of hijrah must have assistance in order to avoid entering the door of their version of terrorism. One of the phenomena of hijrah is that many Muslim women use the veil / niqob. The formulation of the problem that is used as the limitation of this study is more focused on understanding Islamic law and perceptions of the use of the veil / niqob among the hijrah community. The research method used is through a descriptive qualitative approach. The results showed that there was a diversity of opinions regarding the use of the niqab / veil, giving rise to a diversity of beliefs about the perfection of Muslims (for Muslim women) in believing by using the niqab / veil. Muslim communities who are in the process of hijrah believe that faith is an absolute necessity and must be present in every Muslim. As a consequence of this faith, Muslims are obliged to carry out the stipulated syari'at, including in terms of dress.

This paper describes the construction of the practice of Islam as a symbol of group identity in the midst of the reality of society through the representation of Muslim women in the Queen's Religion prostrate novel. This research with a qualitative approach to semiotic analysis from Roland Barthes describes the text with denotative, connotative and mythical systematics. The novel Ratu yang Bersujud which prostrates presents the Islamic concept of Muslim women in the form of protection and breeding for women, the primacy of the role of women in the household, women as male partners and equality of men and women. Representation of the concept of muslim women is part of Islamic construction as a group identity. The construction of reality as a result of the interaction between the writer and the reality of Islamic thought, the reality of women's progress, the reality of the negative stigma of western civilization towards Islam, and the reality of symbolic trends in religious life, which is then disignified in novel texts, and internalized by society. The results of this study become an illustration of the reality of trends in society that make the understanding of Islam about the position of women as representations of identity, through cultural products, in the form of religious novels. The findings and analysis can be an illustration of the process of intervention in social change, including interventions that are da'wah framed. Propagators can use cultural products as a medium or means to internalize various thoughts in Islam into a reality constructed in the community.Tulisan ini menggambarkan konstruksi pengamalan Islam sebagai simbol identitas kelompok  di tengah realitas masyarakat  melalui representasi perempuan muslim pada novel religi Ratu yang Bersujud.

One of the nusantara scholars with famous work inscriptions is Nawawi al-Bantani. These works are recorded in a multidisciplinary scope, one of which is Qami 'al-Tughyan. The significance of this research lies in the influence of environmental factors of Nawawi in the nusantara which have an influence on the style of writing, especially in the field of hadith. This study aims to reveal the facts of causality with the orientation of the literature analysis surrounding Nawawi's notes in compiling the Qami' al-Tughyan. The author will take an inductive qualitative approach by conducting a literature review through related literatures, derived from the object variables in the first ten sections (syu'bah) of the book Qami 'al-Tughyan. Then, the data will be explored in order to produce comprehensive and optimal research results. This research proves that the work recording model used by Nawawi is a causal representation of the situation in the nusantara, especially with regard to the practice of imperialism towards the indigenous people.
