CONCEPTUAL METAPHORS IN 'MAHFUDZAT': THE REPRESENTATION OF KNOWLEDGE VALUES IN ARAB SOCIETY
Get PDFThis study aimed to identify the forms of metaphor in Mahfudzat's work on knowledge and to prove that the work reflects the life of Arab society. Lakoff and Johnson's (2003) theory were used as the base for data analysis. The theory states that there are source and target domains in metaphor which are described in this study by using Kovesces' mapping table. As this is a descriptive-qualitative research, the data of this study are in the forms of textual materials of Mahfudzat from Modern Islamic Boarding school Darussalam Gontor. The data source is limited to Mahfudzat materials containing the word ‘knowledge’ in the curricula for Grade 1 and 2. For collecting the data, documentation techniques were applied by reading and understanding the text as well as identifying, classifying, and categorizing the data. Meanwhile, the process of data analysis went through several stages i.e.: reading, composing metaphors, describing conceptual metaphor mapping, categorizing the types of metaphors, and drawing conclusions. The results show that there are 13 data related to science in Mahfudzat. In addition, 8 data containing metaphors were found, comprising 2 structural metaphors, 1 orientational metaphor, and 5 ontological metaphors
ROMANTICIZING ILLNESS: THE REPRESENTATION OF LOVE AND DISEASE IN THE MOVIES 'MIDNIGHT SUN' AND 'MEET ME AFTER SUNSET'
Get PDFThis study aims to find out how love and disease are represented as discourse in the movies entitled Midnight Sun (2018) and Meet Me After Sunset (2018). How the discourse of disease and love is constructed simultaneously in the stories of two characters with different social and cultural backgrounds is crucial to probe because discourses convey and create power and hierarchy. This study compares two characters who suffer from a rare disease named xeroderma pigmentosum. The disease makes them sensitive to sunlight in the teenage phase during which they experience falling in love. The main objects of comparison are the movie characters Katie from Midnight Sun and Gadis in Meet Me After Sunset. This study employs comparative methods which are appropriate to analyze how different socio-cultures can influence the discourse on love and illness. Discourses and constructs regarding love and illness in popular literature, including movies, cannot be fully understood without referring to gender and socio-culture. Illness is romanticized in Meet Me After Sunset and Midnight Sun. In the Indonesian context, the discourse of love as freedom is less obvious. In contrast, the discourse of isolation and the lack of agency are more advocated compared to the American counterpart. It is due to the differences in cultural patterns that operate in both movies. The discourse of illness in both stories leads to a binary gender hierarchy that associates masculinity with health, while femininity is associated with illness. The isolation caused by disease can also be associated with domestic femininity, which then becomes the idealized value of femininity in both movies
THE VIOLATIONS OF THE COOPERATIVE PRINCIPLES IN 'EASY MANDARIN' YOUTUBE CHANNEL CONVERSATIONS
Get PDFThis study analyzes the violations of the cooperative principles in the YouTube channel Easy Mandarin as such violations in social media content reflect authentic language use and provide valuable insights into real world communication and pragmatic language learning. The main objective of this research is to identify how violations of the maxims of quantity, quality, relevance, and manner occur and what factors influence them. The data were collected from the transcription of videos from the YouTube channel by documentation technique. The data consist of 15 interview-style street videos from Easy Mandarin: Learn Mandarin from the Streets episode which were selected based on the highest number of views, with each video having a duration of approximately 12 to 15 minutes. The results of the analysis show that, in violation of the maxim of quantity, respondents often provide information that is less in-depth or too little, even though the purpose of the conversation is to create a comfortable atmosphere. It is found that the use of humour, false statements, and innuendo, in violation of the quality maxim, reduced the accuracy and truthfulness of the information. Meanwhile, violations of the maxim of relevance were identified through avoidance of direct conversation, refusal to develop the topic, and assertion of personal views irrelevant to the question. Finally, the maxim of manner was violated by errors in answering, forgetfulness, anxiety, and the use of empathy, pleasantries, and secrets, all of which obscured the clarity and depth of the conversation. The findings indicate that various social, emotional, and personal factors influence the violation of these maxims, thereby affecting the communication flow in the conversation
Inter-Organizational Islamic Study Groups: A Collaborative Approach to Conflict Resolution in Multicultural Communities
No full textThis study aims to examine the role of inter-organizational Islamic study groups (Majelis Taklim), particularly Bidayatus Salikin, in conflict resolution within multicultural communities. The research explores strategies employed to foster and sustain peace amidst differing religious organizational perspectives and backgrounds, using Johan Galtung’s theoretical framework of peacemaking, peacekeeping, and peacebuilding. Data were collected through documentation of Majelis Taklim activities, in-depth interviews, and field observations. The findings reveal that Majelis Taklim serves as an inclusive forum that enables various religious organizations to openly discuss sensitive issues through a consensus-based (musyawarah) approach. Cross-organizational activities, such as joint religious discussions and the implementation of internal codes of conduct, effectively prevent conflict and promote group harmony. Additionally, the study group initiates peacekeeping efforts through economic empowerment programs, social outreach, and the formation of inter-organizational task forces aimed at long-term peacebuilding. These strategies not only strengthen inter-organizational relations but also generate positive social outcomes. This research concludes that inter-organizational Majelis Taklim plays a strategic role in managing diversity through holistic and inclusive approaches. Their efforts contribute significantly to building a more peaceful, tolerant, and prosperous society. The findings of this study are expected to serve as a model for similar initiatives in addressing conflict in multicultural contexts

PORTRAIT OF THE LGBT PHENOMENON: A REVIEW OF INDONESIAN ISLAMIC DISCOURSE
No full textThe LGBT phenomenon is increasingly prominent and even the perpetrators openly expose themselves to get recognition and legality of their existence. Their demands for their existence reap the pros and cons in various circles and become a polemic, including in Indonesia. This research aims to examine the LGBT phenomenon in the Indonesian context, with a particular emphasis on the perspectives of Indonesian Islamic figures and organizations on the phenomenon. The data collection method used in this research is a literature study, with data collection techniques through the collection and analysis of various literature related to the research theme, including books, journal articles, websites, Youtube channels and other sources relevant to the topic of LGBT in the Indonesian context. The research findings show that despite strong social resistance, there is a need for a balanced approach between religious values and human rights in dealing with this phenomenon. In this case, human rights become one of the bases for groups that support the existence of LGBT. However, in general, Indonesia with the majority of its population embracing Islam, the existence of LGBT on the basis of religion is firmly rejected, with the statement that the act violates the human nature given by God. The rejection is also supported by several perspectives that review the mudharat of LGBT actions. The theoretical implication of this research is the need for a balanced approach between religious values and human rights in dealing with the LGBT phenomenon in Indonesia, which reflects a fundamental challenge in harmonizing human rights universalism with the context of strong religious values
