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.

Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa tindak ilokusi dalam wacana narsisme religius kolektif disajikan dalam beberapa fungsi, seperti untuk menyatakan suatu hal (representatif), untuk mengajak pembaca, terutama kader, untuk bergabung dalam kegiatan organisasi dan untuk melarang kader melakukan sesuatu yang tidak sesuai dengan keyakinan kelompok (direktif), mengucapkan selamat dan mengucapkan terima kasih serta harapan (ekspresif), melakukan suatu tindakan di masa depan dalam menanggapi isu-isu yang sedang berkembang (komisif), dan juga mendeklarasikan atau mengkonfirmasi agenda-agenda organisasi yang membawa perubahan di kemudian hari (deklarasi). 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

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

KEBIJAKAN PENGEMBANGAN KOLEKSI DI PERPUSTAKAAN AKADEMIK NEGARA BAGIAN IMO NIGERIA DAN TANZANIA

Libraries play a strategic role in improving the quality of education by providing informative and relevant collections. Collection development policies are essential, particularly for academic libraries that support theses and research conducted by the academic community. This study employs a literature review method, referencing various sources such as scientific books, journal articles, research reports, and regulations in both printed and electronic formats. Additionally, the study compares two journal articles discussing collection development policies in academic libraries in Africa, namely the Imo State Academic Library and the Tanzanian Academic Library. The findings indicate that both libraries have implemented collection development policies, including selection, acquisition, user studies, preservation, weeding, evaluation, and collaboration. However, the involvement of users in the selection process of library materials remains limited. Therefore, this study recommends increased user involvement in the selection process, the establishment of a Collection Development Department, periodic weeding, and enhanced collaboration among libraries

Islamic Legal Review of the Tradition of Laylat al-Henna in Wedding Ceremonies in Arab-Indonesia Descendant Families in Palu City

Abstract: One tradition that is currently still in effect and practiced by the community is the tradition of using henna in wedding ceremonies. The issue that arises in this henna usage tradition is that, with the advancement of technology, various types of henna have proliferated in the market, some of which are mixed with chemicals that can form a waterproof layer, thus making the color of the henna more intense and accelerating absorption. The diversity of henna types has led many people to doubt the naturalness of the ingredients contained in henna paste and may impede purity in worship. The purpose of this research is to analyze the issues related to the use of henna in the context of Islamic law, using empirical legal research methods and a sociology of Islamic law approach. This research then produces several conclusions: first, there are two types in the categorization of henna paste, namely natural henna with a reddish-brown color and black henna, which is the result of mixing natural henna with chemical substances. In the community's view, black henna should not be used. Second, the tradition of using henna in the Arab-Indonesian community in Palu is referred to as Laylat al-Henna, which has symbolic meaning, such as the hope that the prospective bride will soon have offspring, bringing happiness to the family that will be established. The Laylat al-Henna tradition falls into the category of 'urf shahih because it does not contradict Sharia, both in the text and other legal sources.Abstrak: Penggunaan henna dalam upacara pernikahan masih menjadi tradisi yang umum di masyarakat. Masalah yang muncul dalam tradisi penggunaan henna ini adalah, dengan kemajuan teknologi, berbagai jenis henna telah banyak beredar di pasaran, beberapa di antaranya dicampur dengan bahan kimia yang dapat membentuk lapisan tahan air sehingga membuat warna henna lebih pekat dan mempercepat penyerapan. Keberagaman jenis henna ini membuat banyak orang meragukan kealamian bahan yang terkandung dalam pasta henna dan dapat menghambat kesucian dalam beribadah. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis permasalahan terkait penggunaan henna dalam konteks hukum Islam, dengan menggunakan metode penelitian hukum empiris dan pendekatan sosiologi hukum Islam. Penelitian ini menghasilkan beberapa kesimpulan: pertama, terdapat dua jenis dalam klasifikasi pasta henna, yaitu henna alami dengan warna merah kecoklatan dan henna hitam yang merupakan hasil campuran henna alami dengan bahan kimia. Dalam pandangan masyarakat, henna hitam sebaiknya tidak digunakan. Kedua, tradisi penggunaan henna di kalangan masyarakat Arab-Indonesia di Palu disebut dengan Laylat al-Henna, yang memiliki makna simbolis, seperti harapan agar calon pengantin segera mendapatkan keturunan, membawa kebahagiaan bagi keluarga yang akan dibentuk. Tradisi Laylat al-Henna termasuk dalam kategori 'urf shahih karena tidak bertentangan dengan syariat, baik dalam teks maupun sumber hukum lainnya

Measuring the Influence of Philosophy on Arab Balaghah: A Critical Study of Amin al-Khuli's Thought

Abstract: This article aims to explore the relationship between philosophy and balaghah, as well as the mutual influence between the two, focusing on Amin al-Khuli's “Manahij Tajdid Fi al-Nahw Wa al-Balaghah Wa al-Tafsir Wa al-Adab.” The relationship between philosophy and balaghah is a rarely discussed topic, so this article offers a new perspective on the study of Arabic literature and philosophical thought. In this study, the main sources analyzed are al-Khuli's works as well as several relevant articles and books, both those that discuss al-Khuli's thoughts directly and those that highlight the historical development of philosophy and balaghah. The method used is descriptive-analytical, in which the research deeply examines primary and secondary literature related to the topic. The author attempts to identify the elements of philosophy in classical balaghah works, as well as to trace the traces of philosophical thought in the balaghah tradition. The research also examines the important role of the translation of Aristotle's works into Arabic, which enriched the development of both disciplines. The results show that philosophical thought has long been present in the works of balaghah figures. This influence can be seen in written works that combine elements of philosophy and balaghah. Furthermore, the translation of classical Greek philosophical texts by Arab scholars further reinforced the importance of understanding philosophy for balaghah scholars. In conclusion, the relationship between philosophy and balaghah is mutually influential. Abstrak: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengeksplorasi hubungan antara filsafat dan balaghah, serta pengaruh timbal balik antara keduanya, dengan fokus pada karya Amin al-Khuli yang berjudul Manahij Tajdid Fi al-Nahw Wa al-Balaghah Wa al-Tafsir Wa al-Adab. Hubungan antara filsafat dan balaghah merupakan topik yang jarang dibahas, sehingga artikel ini menawarkan perspektif baru dalam kajian sastra Arab dan pemikiran filosofis. Sumber utama yang dianalisis adalah karya-karya al-Khuli serta beberapa artikel dan buku relevan lainnya, baik yang membahas pemikiran al-Khuli secara langsung maupun yang menyoroti perkembangan historis filsafat dan balaghah. Metode yang digunakan adalah deskriptif-analitis dengan menelaah secara mendalam literatur primer dan sekunder yang berkaitan dengan topik. Penulis berupaya mengidentifikasi elemen-elemen filsafat dalam karya-karya balaghah klasik, serta menelusuri jejak pemikiran filosofis dalam tradisi balaghah. Penelitian ini juga mengkaji peran penting penerjemahan karya-karya Aristoteles ke dalam bahasa Arab, yang memperkaya perkembangan kedua disiplin ilmu tersebut. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pemikiran filosofis telah lama hadir dalam karya-karya tokoh balaghah. Pengaruh ini dapat dilihat dalam karya-karya tertulis yang menggabungkan elemen-elemen filsafat dan balaghah. Lebih lanjut, penerjemahan teks-teks filosofis Yunani klasik oleh para sarjana Arab semakin memperkuat pentingnya pemahaman filsafat bagi para ahli balaghah. Kesimpulannya, hubungan antara filsafat dan balaghah saling mempengaruhi satu sama lain
