SEXISME BAHASA DALAM TELEVISI

  Abstrak: Artikel ini mengungkapkan penggunaan bahasa di media massa yang merefleksikan bahasa laki-laki dan perempuan. Berbagai progam di televisi menampilkan secara jelas perbedaan bahasa di atara keduanya. Para lelaki semakin berani muncul dengan gaya perempuan dan bertutur seperti perempuan untuk tujuan menarik dan mengihur pemirsa. Selain itu juga muncul stigma yang melekat terhadap perempuan sebagai obyek dalam media massa ini yang dapat dilihat dari bahasa yang digunakan yang berpotensi mempengaruhi pemaknaan yang terjadi pada pemirsa. Kondisi ini tentu menimbulkan dampak negatif bagi audien. Oleh karenanya, desain program siaran hendaknya mempertimbangkan segi-segi kebahasaan yang berpotensi menimbulkan gejala kurang baik di masyarakat. Pertimbangan demi menembus rating tertinggi tidak serta merta menutup mata terhadap potensi bahasa yang bisa merendahkan atau melecehkan suatu kaum.   Abstract: This article discusses the use of language in the massmedia that reflect the language of men and women.

The Fiqh of Hisab-Ru’ya in the Twentieth Century Indonesia: Study on the Thoughts of Hamka, Hasbi Ash-Shiddieqy, and Moenawar Chalil about the Unification of Hijri Calendar

Fiqh discourses regarding differences in methods and criteria (hisab and ru’ya) for determining the beginning of the Hijri months are still being debated among Muslims in Indonesia. Until now, there is no Hijri calendar that applies globally. The existing Islamic calendar is a local or regional calendar. The absence of a unified Hijri calendar often causes confusion in setting dates in Muslim society, and this makes Muslim intellectuals continue to study it. The idea of creating a unified Hijri calendar in Indonesia was originally raised by Hamka, Muhammad Hasbi Ash-Shiddieqy, and Moenawar Chalil. This research explores how the Hijri calendar is unified according to their opinions. This study is a qualitative research with a socio-historical and hermeneutic approach. Data collection uses the documentation method with the content analysis model. The results of this study indicate that Hamka believes that there needs to be a unified result between the hisab and the ru’ya methods, so that the Hijri calendar, especially the beginning of Ramadan and Shawwal, can become a fixed date. Meanwhile, Hasbi offers the idea that to overcome the differences in the beginning of Ramadan and Shawwal one must use the ru’yat method with global matla’. Meanwhile, Moenawar Chalil believes that the preparation of the Hijri calendar in Indonesia can only use the hisab method. These three ideas can be a solution in an effort to achieve uniformity of the Hijri calendar in Indonesia
