Illocutionary Acts in the Collective Religious Narcissism Discourses of Young Indonesian Muslims on Instagram

This current study aims to discuss the collective religious narcissism in social media accounts in a pragmatic study. It tries to scrutinize the functions and the strategies of illocutionary acts used in the collective religious narcissism discourses of young Indonesian Muslims on Instagram. This study is descriptive qualitative research, and the data are the collective religious narcissism discourses taken from the Instagram captions of three young Indonesian Muslim accounts, namely Pemuda Muhammadiyah (PM), Generasi Muda NU (GMNU), and Indonesia Tanpa Pacaran (ITP). In analyzing the data, Searle's (1979) speech act classification and Meyer's (2009) speech act strategies are applied to achieve the aim of this study. The results show that illocutionary acts in the collective religious narcissism discourses are presented in several functions, such as to state some affairs (representatives), to invite the readers, especially the cadres, to join the organization activities and to prohibit the cadres from doing something that is not in line with the ingroup’s beliefs (directives), to express congratulation and to say thanks and wishes (expressives), to commit a future action responding recent issues (commissives), and to declare or confirm organization agendas that bring a change on the next day (declarations). In the strategies of the illocutionary acts in the collective religious narcissism discourses, the results show that PM, ITP, and GMNU use similar strategies which are direct, explicit, and implicit. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk membahas narsisme kolektif keagamaan di media sosial dengan kajian pragmatik.

Dalam strategi tindak ilokusi dalam wacana narsisme agama kolektif, hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa PM, ITP, dan GMNU menggunakan strategi yang sama yaitu langsung, eksplisit, dan implisit

Conquering Oppression through Cosmopolitanism: Islam, Race, and Racism in Writings of Edward Wilmot Blyden and Cheikh Ahmadou Bamba

Abstract: This essay analyzes the Sufi religious thoughts of Cheikh Ahmadou Bamba, the founder of the Murid Islamic brotherhood of Senegal, as reflections of the cosmopolitan openness to the “other” and the rest of the world that the Pan-African scholar, Edward Wilmot Blyden, celebrates in his book, entitled Christianity, Islam and the Negro Race (1887). Blyden admired, in late nineteenth-century West African Islamic traditions, cosmopolitanism, and rejections of violence that one also finds in Bamba’s book, Mawahibul Quddus. Bamba’s text was produced in the late nineteenth century and was translated into English in 2003 as God’s Sacred Identity.Using Blyden’s book as an early exploration of the West African cosmopolitan tradition of resistance and celebration of rationality that mesmerized him, this essay explores how similar ideas were noticeable in Bamba’s Sufism. In his theology, Bamba also examines how reason and cosmopolitanism can dismantle racial and other forms of intolerance and domination.Abstrak: Esai ini menganalisis pemikiran religius Sufi dari Cheikh Ahmadou Bamba, pendiri  Murid Islamic brotherhoodof Senegal, sebagai refleksi keterbukaan kosmopolitan terhadap "yang lain" dan dunia, yang dirayakan oleh cendekiawan Pan-Afrika, Edward Wilmot Blyden dalam bukunya yang berjudul Christianity, Islam and the Negro Race (1887). Blyden mengagumi tradisi Islam Afrika Barat pada akhir abad ke-19 yang menunjukkan kosmopolitanisme dan penolakan terhadap kekerasan, yang juga ditemukan dalam buku Bamba, Mawahibul Quddus. Teks Bamba ini ditulis pada akhir abad ke-19 dan diterjemahkan ke dalam bahasa Inggris pada tahun 2003 dengan judul God’s Sacred Identity. Dengan menggunakan buku Blyden sebagai eksplorasi awal tradisi kosmopolitanisme Afrika Barat yang menawan baginya, esai ini mengeksplorasi bagaimana ide serupa terlihat dalam sufisme Bamba. Dalam teologinya, Bamba juga mengkaji bagaimana akal dan kosmopolitanisme dapat membongkar intoleransi rasial dan bentuk dominasi lainnya

Islamic Conservatism Negotiations: Women's Involvement In Saudi Arabian Football

This research will discuss the dynamics of women's involvement in Saudi Arabian football and its influence on the culture of conservatism in that state. Saudi Arabia is known as a conservative state and tends to discriminate against women. However, in recent years, Saudi Arabia has begun to take an open and moderate stance, including in sports. This research is interesting to discuss because football, the most popular sport in Saudi Arabia, is a channel for creating a cultural transformation from conservative to moderate. This research aims to explain Saudi Arabia's efforts to change conservatism that has been rooted for a long time, through the involvement of women in football. This is descriptive qualitative research using library research methods and the approach refers to constructivism. The results of the research show that the role of Prince Muhammad bin Salman through Saudi Vision 2030 can change Saudi Arabia's culture of conservatism into a culture of moderation by relaxing existing norms such as allowing women to watch football matches in stadiums, establishing competitions and women's national team, being able to accommodate Saudi women to get involved in football and express their interests and talents after previously being restricted by the rules created by Wahhabism

EFEKTIVITAS INFORMASI KOLEKSI KEBUN RAYA BOGOR MELALUI MEDIA KOMUNIKASI YANG TERINTEGRASI DENGAN WEB

This study was aimed to determine the effectiveness of the use of information media in the Bogor Botanical Gardens. The method used is a qualitative research method with a case study approach accompanied by interviews with random sampling techniques. The information media that became the research material was the information board in the Bogor Botanical Gardens. The Bogor Botanical Gardens are a plant conservation area under the supervision of the Indonesian Institute of Sciences. Although in its current development the function of the Bogor Botanical Gardens also includes a tourism function. To meet this need, the Bogor Botanical Gardens has prepared information media in the form of an information board that is integrated with the Bogor Botanical Garden's web page. From these developments the author intends to examine the effectiveness of the information media. As a result, there are still many things that must be addressed regarding the information media. Its presence is still considered ineffective for some people because of the difficulty of accessing web pages even though they are already using a QR code. Thus, this is an important note for the Bogor Botanical Gardens manager regarding the effectiveness of using the information media

Peninggalan Arkeologis Kerajaan Demak: Dualisme Situs Sejarah Makam Sunan Prawoto

Abstract:  This article discusses the archaeological remains of the Demak Kingdom by focusing on the dualism of the grave site of Sunan Prawoto as the Last King of Demak in Prawoto Village, Sukolilo District, Pati Regency. This research aims to reconstruct the process of dualism at the Sunan Prawoto grave site. This type of research is qualitative research through four stages of historical research methods. This research uses a multidimensional approach to enrich the sources of the studies studied and realistic conflict theory as an analytical tool. The results of this research found that the discovery of Sunan Prawoto's tomb in Prawoto Village in 1976 and the Ancient burial complex area which had been researched by the Archeology Center could not yet be stated that Sunan Prawoto's tomb was actually in Prawoto Village. Other research actually states that the grave of Sunan Prawoto which makes this possible is actually located in the cemetery complex of the Great Mosque of Demak. The dualism of Sunan Prawoto's grave occurred because of a conflict between the foundations that manage Sunan Prawoto's grave. The efforts made by the managers to gain recognition from well-known scholars such as Mbah Sya`roni Lutfi and Habib Lutfi as well as Kraton elders are a form of proof that the tomb they manage is the original Sunan Prawoto Tomb. Apart from that, there is another form of business, namely competition to attract the interest of pilgrims.   Abstrak: Artikel ini membahasa tentang peninggalan arkeologis Kerajaan Demak dengan berfokus pada pembahasan mengenai dualisme situs makam Sunan Prawoto sebagai Raja Demak Terakhir di Desa Prawoto Kecamatan Sukolilo Kabupaten Pati. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk merekonstruksi proses terjadinya dualisme situs makam sunan Prawoto. Jenis Penelitian ini adalah penelitian kualitatif melalui empat tahap metode penelitian Sejarah. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan multidimensional untuk memperkaya sumber kajian yang diteliti dan Teori realistis konflik (realistic conflict theory) sebagai alat analisisnya. Hasil penelitian ini menemukan bahwa penemuan makam Sunan Prawoto di Desa Prawoto pada tahun 1976 dan area Komplek pemakaman Kuno yang sudah diteliti oleh balai Arkeologi belum dapat dinyatakan bahwa Makam Sunan Prawoto benar terdapat di Desa Prawoto. Penelitian lain justru menyebutkan bahwa Makam Sunan Prawoto yang memungkinkan kebenarannya justru berada di komplek pemakaman Masjid Agung Demak. Dualisme makam Sunan Prawoto terjadi karena adanya konflik antar Yayasan pengelola makam Sunan Prawoto. Usaha-usaha yang dilakukan para pengelola untuk mendapatkan pengakuan dari para ulama terkenal seperti Mbah Sya`roni Lutfi dan Habib Lutfi serta para tokoh sesepuh Kraton adalah sebagai bentuk pembuktian bahwa makam yang mereka Kelola adalah Makam Sunan Prawoto yang asli. Selain itu, terdapat bentuk usaha lain yaitu adanya persaingan untuk menarik minat para peziarah.   Kata kunci: Arkeologis, Dualisme, Kerajaan Demak, Situs Makam, Sunan Prawoto

Exploring Sprituality in Grave Pilgrimage: The Case of the Berbah Community at the Kanjeng Panembahan Purboyo Cemetery

This study explores the religious and cultural significance of pilgrimage practices among the Berbah people at the Kanjeng Panembahan Purboyo Cemetery in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. It aims to examine how pilgrimage practices continue to be observed in contemporary Yogyakarta despite the city's increasing modernization. Limited scholarly attention has been paid to understanding the significance of the continued practice of grave pilgrimage in this country, so this research attempts to capture the lived experiences of local communities using a descriptive qualitative case study approach. The data were collected through participant observations, in-depth interviews, and documentation, allowing for a rich contextual understanding of the phenomenon. This study found that pilgrimage to the cemetery has a deep spiritual meaning for the Berbah people, manifested in three main dimensions: (1) achieving peace of mind through sacred relationships, (2) becoming more aware of human death and impermanence, and (3) clarifying and strengthening one’s purpose in life. These aspects contribute to a higher sense of direction and serenity in the lives of pilgrims, as they believe that pilgrimage invites divine blessings that guide them towards a more meaningful and focused existence

DECONSTRUCTION OF THE PATRIARCHAL MYTH OF ADAM AND EVE IN CONTEMPORARY ARABIC LITERATURE

This study aims to highlight Arab women’s autonomy by elaborating the feminist meaning in the literary code that challenges the patriarchal myth of Adam and Eve in three contemporary Arabic literary works. Through a feminist literary criticism approach, this study reveals the form of deconstruction and criticism of the binary opposition. Hence, Eve (woman) becomes a complete subject who gives birth and not who is born. The narrative-symbolic argument of these works is based on historical-logical-scientific and theological-rationalistic thinking styles. The purpose of the deconstruction in them is to create the autonomy of women with noble dignity as human beings, as men are. The deconstruction reflects the thought of progressive muslim authors who believe in and advocate for the substantive value of the holy Koran, particularly its emphasis on egalitarianism in the myth of Adam and Eve
