Phenomenological Perspective

This article discusses the socio-cultural context of Indonesia’s diverse society as a contextual theological arena. One of the main problems in the socio-cultural pluralism of Indonesian people, especially since the colonial to post-colonial periods, is the encounter of various religious traditions, both the local religiosity of theNusantara (Archipelago) people and their interactions with, and/or conversion to major religions from outside. This article does not employ dogmatic studies but uses the dialectics of contextual theology and theology of religions from Christian point of view. The theological perspectiveof religions is used to dialectically examine the experimentation of Christian contextual theology in Indonesia. Bevans’ “anthropological” model was chosen asthe lens of study, as well as criticism of the tri-polar typology (exclusivism-inclusivismpluralism) introduced by Alan Race. Three regional and cultural contexts, namelyYogyakarta (Central Java), Bali (Bali) and Tana Toraja (South Sulawesi), are used as the basis for theological experience.Qualitative research approach was carried observing behavior and lifestyles, in-depth interviews to obtain perspective data and phenomenological interpretations ofviews and beliefs, manifested through the attitudes and perspectives on the reality of the diversity of cultures, languages and religions that are practiced by theIndonesian people, especially in the three research process was then interpreted in phenomenological perspective to examine a Christian’s theological view on the theology of religions. Experimentation and theological elaboration based on experience in the three contexts were theological postures of religions that are typical in the plural culture of Indonesian society. This article wants to show a modelof theological construction of religions that does not begin with theological academic debates as they take place in formal seminars or lectures, but which starts from the narratives of the life experiences of various communities that live differences identity, while building open, positive and constructive relationships with others and the universe.

Artikel ini membahas konteks sosial-budaya masyarakat Indonesia yang majemuk sebagai arena berteologi kontekstual. Salah satu pokok masalah dalam kemajemukan sosio-budaya masyarakat Indonesia, terutama sejak masa kolonial hingga pascakolonial, adalah perjumpaan berbagai tradisi keagamaan baik religiositas lokal masyarakat nusantara maupun interaksi dengan dan/atau konversi menjadi agama-agama besar dari luar. Artikel ini tidak melakukan kajian dogmatis tetapi menggunakan dialektika teologi kontekstual dan teologi agama-agama dari sudut pandang Kristianitas. Perspektif teologi agama-agama digunakan untuk menguji secara dialektis eksperimentasi teologi kontekstual Kristen di Indonesia. Model “antropologis” Bevans dipilih sebagai lensa kajian sekaligus sebagai kritik terhadap tipologi tripolar (exclusivism-inclusivism-pluralism) yang diperkenalkan oleh Alan Race. Tiga konteks kewilayahan dan kebudayaan, yaitu Yogyakarta (Jawa Tengah), Bali (Bali) dan Tana Toraja (Sulawesi Selatan), digunakan sebagai basis pengalaman berteologi. Eksperimentasi dan elaborasi teologis berbasis pengalaman pada tiga konteks itu dimunculkan sebagai proses awal untuk menemukan postur teologi agama-agama yang khas dalam kebudayaan majemuk masyarakat Indonesia. Kata kunci: teologi agama-agama, pluralitas sosio-budaya, identitas sosial   This article elaborates theological issues in socio-cultural context of Indonesian society as the arena for doing theology contextually. One main issue of socio-cultural plurality in Indonesia, primarily since the colonial up till post-colonial era, is about the encounter of various religious traditions either local community’s religiosity or interaction with and/or conversion into so-called world religions from outside. This article shall not conduct dogmatic exploration but using the dialectics of contextual theology and theology of religions from Christian viewpoints. Perspective of theology of religions shall be implemented firstly to examine an experimentation of Christian contextual theology in Indonesia. Bevans’ anthropological model has been chosen as the analytical lens as well as criticism against tripolar typology (exclusivism-inclusivism-pluralism) introduced by Alan Race. Three geographic and cultural contexts, namely Yogyakarta (Central Java), Bali (Bali) and Tana Toraja (South Sulawesi) are utilized as the basis for doing contextual theology. Experience-based of theological experimentation and elaboration in those three contexts have been constructed as the beginning process to discover a model of theology of religion in Indonesia.

Preliminary Phase

The author undertakes a phenomenological analysis of research process on the example of the philosophical and anthropological study of education. In accordance with the phenomenological approach, the research process with its general methodological regularities is divided into three phases: 1) the preliminary phase of thematization; 2) the phenomenological phase itself, which opens up for the researcher his own direct experience of the subject, its obviousness; 3) the post-phenomenological phase. Within the boundaries of the last phase the tension between "experience" and "language" is resolved, that is, experience is expressed, an exit to the general life world apeears, an approach to certification is carried out. From this point of view, the problem of "reliability" and "identity" is raised, which is especially relevant for the phenomenological perspective. Certain phenomenological solutions to this problem were developed by Hegel and Husserl. Taking into account the existing solutions, three possible versions of the interpretations of the identity are considered: proceeding from objectivity; intersubjectivity; subjectivity. The application of phenomenological analysis to practical, scientific and philosophical fields of research allowed us to distinguish three levels of verification during certification. At the first level, experience, representation and concept come to the fore; at the second level – the requirement of unity of experience, representation and thinking; at the third – a certificate consisting of checking the stability of the trusted before the other / Other. The understanding of the latter has the meaning of a "dialectical movement", according to Hegel, and represents an "infinite horizon... of approximations", according to Husserl. These criteria are explained in the perspective of subjectivity, which reveals its possibilities when compared with interpretations based on the understanding of the true as objective (in particular, when compared with "scientific realists") and intersubjective.

AbstractThe phenomenon of multiple religious belonging is studied from different perspectives, each of which reveals a different understanding of religion, religious diversity and religious belonging. This shows that the phenomenon of multiple religious belonging is challenging the applicability of these central notions in academic enquiry about religion. In this article, I present the different perspectives on multiple religious belonging in theology of religions and show how the understanding of some central scholarly notions is different. In Christian theology, the debate on multiple religious belonging is conducted between particularists, who focus on the uniqueness of religious traditions, and pluralists, who focus on the shared religious core of religious traditions. Both positions are criticized by feminist and post-colonial theologians. They believe that both particularists and pluralists focus too strongly on religious traditions and the boundaries between them. I argue that the hermeneutic study of multiple religious belonging could benefit from a more open understanding of religious traditions and religious boundaries, as proposed by these feminist and post-colonial scholars. In order to achieve this goal we could also benefit from a more intercultural approach to multiple religious belonging in order to understand religious belonging in a nonexclusive way.

Este artículo analiza el discurso de las antropologías poscoloniales, construidas “desde el punto de vista de los nativos”. Se retrata el caso específico del proyecto de una antropología islámica, según la propuesta del antropólogo paquistaní Akbar Akmed. Se afirma que fue en el contexto político y cultural de las ideas del Resurgimiento que se creó la Asociación de Cientistas Sociales Musulmanes en Estados Unidos, institución que desarrolló un programa de “islamización del conocimiento” inspirado en las ideas de Ismail Al-Faruqi. Dentro de la antropología fue Akbar Ahmed quien lideró ese proyecto plasmado, luego, en su libro Hacia una antropologia Islámica. Posteriormente el texto sugiere que el proyecto de una antropologia islámica incluye: a) una critica preliminar a la historia de la antropología en occidente; b) el argumento de la existencia de antropologías no occidentales basadas en otras tradiciones culturales, tales como el pensamiento islámico. La antropología islámica permite analizar las ambiguedades y desafios de un proyecto intelectual y político postcolonial que cuestiona y desdibuja las fronteras entre observadores y observados. Post-Colonial Anthropologies: Islamic anthropology and the islamization of knowledge in the Social Sciences Abstract This article analyzes the discourse of the postcolonial anthropologies, constructed “from the native’s point of view”. It depicts the specific case of the project of an Islamic anthropology, according to the proposal of Pakistani anthropologist Akbar Ahmed. It argues that it was within the political and cultural context of the Islamic Ressurgence ideologies that the Muslim Association for the Islamic Social Sciences was founded in the United States. This institution developed a program for the “islamization of knowledge” that was inspired in Ismail Al-Faruqi’s ideas. Akbar Ahmed was the leader of this project within anthropology, shaping it in his book Toward Islamic Anthropology. The article also suggests that the project of an Islamic anthropology includes: a) a preliminary critique of the history of anthropology in the West; b) arguing for the existence of non-western anthropologies, based in “other” cultural traditions, such as Islamic thought. Islamic anthropology allows analysis of the ambiguities and challenges of an intellectual and political postcolonial project that questions and redraws the borders between observers and observed.

The Cost

Inclusionary housing (IH) is a regulatory instrument adopted by local governments in many countries to produce affordable housing by capturing resources created through the marketplace. In order to assess whether it is efficient, scholarly attention has been widely focused on its evaluation. However, there is a lack of studies evaluating IH from a governance perspective. Since IH is about involving private actors in affordable housing production, the governance point of view of cooperating governmental and non-governmental actors governing society to achieve societal goals is highly relevant. The two most important elements of governance—actors and interrelationships among these actors—are taken to build an analytical framework to explore and evaluate the governance of IH. Based on a research approach that combines a literature review and a case study of China, this paper concludes that the ineffective governance of Chinese IH is based on three challenges: (1) The distribution of costs and benefits across actors is unequal since private developers bear the cost, but do not enjoy the increments of land value; (2) there is no sufficient compensation for developers to offset the cost; and (3) there is no room for negotiations for flexibility in a declining market. Given that IH is favored in many Chinese cities, this paper offers the policy implications: local governments should bear more costs of IH, rethink their relations with developers, provide flexible compliance options for developers, and perform differently in a flourishing housing market and a declining housing market.

Specific Paper

AbstractWhile much of the scholarly work on ethics relating to academic authorship examines the fair distribution of authorship credit, none has yet examined situations where a researcher contributes significantly to the project, but whose contributions do not make it into the final manuscript. Such a scenario is commonplace in collaborative research settings in many disciplines and may occur for a number of reasons, such as excluding research in order to provide the paper with a clearer focus, tell a particular story, or exclude negative results that do not fit the hypothesis. Our concern in this paper is less about the reasons for including or excluding data from a paper and more about distributing credit in this type of scenario. In particular, we argue that the notion ‘substantial contribution’, which is part of the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) authorship criteria, is ambiguous and that we should ask whether it concerns what ends up in the paper or what is a substantial contribution to the research process leading up to the paper. We then argue, based on the principles of fairness, due credit, and ensuring transparency and accountability in research, that the latter interpretation is more plausible from a research ethics point of view. We conclude that the ICMJE and other organizations interested in authorship and publication ethics should consider including guidance on authorship attribution in situations where researchers contribute significantly to the research process leading up to a specific paper, but where their contribution is finally omitted.

The Impact

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to provide a review of the experiences in working collaboratively with physically impaired visual artists and other stakeholders (e.g. disability arts organisations, charities, personal assistants, special needs colleges, assistive technologists, etc.) to explore the potential of digital assistive tools to support and transform practice. Design/methodology/approach – The authors strategically identified key organisations as project partners including Disability Arts Shropshire, Arts Council England, the British Council, SCOPE, and National Star College (a large special needs college). This multi-disciplinary team worked together to develop relationships with disabled artists and to collaboratively influence the research focus around investigating the current practice of physically impaired artists and the impact of digital technologies on artistic work. Findings – The collaborations with disabled artists and stakeholders throughout the research process have enriched the project, broadened and deepened research impact, and enabled a firsthand understanding of the issues around using assistive technology for artistic work. Artists and stakeholders have become pro-active collaborators and advocates for the project as opposed to being used only for evaluation purposes. A flexible research approach was crucial in helping to facilitate research studies and enhance impact of the work. Originality/value – This paper is the first to discuss experiences in working with physically impaired visual artists – including the benefits of a collaborative approach and the considerations that must be made when conducting research in this area. The observations are also relevant to researchers working with disabled participants in other fields.

And Control

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore and provide insights into corruption and the control procedures from an Islamic perspective. Design/methodology/approach This paper adopts qualitative research approach using the holy Quran as a primary source and hadith of the Prophet Mohammed supported by the anecdotes of his companions as a secondary source and prior literature. Findings This paper offers an Islamic taxonomy of corruption that contains economic, managerial, financial, political, environmental, social and ethical corruption which is explicitly prohibited because of their consequence on societies. Islam establishes proactive, preventive, detecting and reactive procedures to control corruption and prescribes how to avoid its harmful consequences. The paper also reveals significant concepts in relation to individuals’ qualities that if taken care of, better chances to reduce corruption and better living conditions can be accomplished. Research limitations/implications The paper recommends means to the business community through providing managerial and practical procedures which can be used for limiting corruption effectively. However, this piece of work provides further explanations on corruption to improve our understanding on such a phenomenon and contributes to the literature from the perspective of Islam point of view. Originality/value The paper contributes to the debate on corruption, human, religion and control from an Islamic point of view, which is lacking. This paper finds evidence that loss of belief is a situational factor that leads to corrupt acts. Also, moral teaching in early ages is necessary for inner and self-control. Moral renovation is an influential factor that keeps individuals motivated and refrain from indulging into corrupt acts.
