Virtualitas Retrokognisi-Magi Om Hao “Kisah Tanah Jawa” di Media Sosial
No full textVirtualization enables the magical to be imagined and seen through social media. Om Hao and the crew from Kisah Tanah Jawa (the Tale of the Land of Java) can make retrocognition-magic as a show by using a realist narrative that allows viewers to have the sensation of an unseen 'presence'. Therefore, this paper aims to explore Om Hao's retrocognition-magic virtualization and the narratives that operate within it. To complete this objective, the netnographic method was used in the form of online observation and videography on Kisah Tanah Jawa youtube. This study has resulted that: first, retrocognition virtuality is performed through new media technology devices that are able to visualize event actors and bring them closer and real to their viewers; Second, Om Hao's retrocognition-magic virtuality becomes extra textual which builds the interaction between the magic and the actual in social media where both of them become the power of the narrative that contains the magic appearing and thought of; third, Virtuality magic appears actual because it is supported by Om Hao's narrative that sounds rational, objective and neutral. All the three are strengthened because they are relevant to the historical experience, stories, and mystical beliefs of the Javanese people as a socio-cultural context. As a product of postmodern culture, Om Hao's retrocognition-magic virtualization is seemingly able to present a divergent fantasy of alternative "truth" of history of the land of Java
POLA DAN LOGIKA NIKAH SIRRI DALAM KULTUR MASYARAKAT MADURA
No full textSirri marriage does not seem to be a problem in Maduran society, even when the women are often harmed during or after the marriage. This apparent indifference can be explained by analyzing the cultural logic of Maduran society, among them through the patriarchal relations where women are ignorant of public administration issues, the view that women must be protected, herded and made into an asset of men’s pride. The paradigms regarding virginity (parabhan) and spinsters, and the fiqh-based religious reasoning apparent in Maduran society exacerbates the problem. There are several explanations for the patterns of sirri marriages in Madura: poverty, ignorance or lack of information on behalf of the women, the practice of arranged marriages (ajuduagi) and polygamy. Sirri marriages in Madura leads to child laborers supporting families, underage widows due to incapacity of handling domestic conflicts and hindrances for women from accessing their rights in many aspects due to their dependence on men
Kebijakan Negara dalam Mengakomodir Agama Pribumi Perspektif Sosial-Antropologi
No full textIndonesia as a multicultur state has accommodating and acknowledged the existence of indigenous religions with other names, Penghayat Kepercayaan (belivers of mystical gorup), even its position now equivalent to six religions recognized by the state, but in the context of practical services it needs to be investigated further. Unfortunately, the state has not used the definition of religion social-anthropologically yet, it uses a biased politically definition. The implication is that the state see indigenous religion as not religion. This led to the need for religiousization of it followers which led to the conflicts of mission from six world religions. Because of this, indigenous religions experienced conflict with the state, in the same time it also conflict with six world religions. Their position was finally squashed, therefore the recommendations of this paper looked at the need for Penghayat Kepercayaan to be placed in the Ministry of Religion by forming the BIMAS Penghayat Kepercayaan, at least the country put indigenous religion important and equivalent with six world religions.
Indonesia sebagai negara multikultur telah mengakomodir dan mengakui eksistensi agama pribumi dengan nama lain yaitu Penghayat Kepercayaan, dan bahkan kedudukannya setara dengan agama besar, meski dalam konteks pelayanan praktis perlu diteliti lebih jauh. Sayangnya hinga saat ini negara belum menggunakan definisi agama secara sosial-antropologis, tetapi menggunakan definisi yang bias politik kekuasaan. Implikasinya adalah negara memandang agama pribumi bukan agama. Hal ini membawa perlunya agamaisasi pengikut agama pribumi yang menimbulkan konflik misi dari agamaagama besar. Karena itu, agama pribumi mengalami konflik dengan negara, juga dengan agama-agama besar sekaligus. Posisi mereka akhirnya serba terjepit, karena itu rekomendasi tulisan ini memandang perlu Penghayat Kepercayaan diletakkan di Kementerian Agama dengan membentuk BIMAS Penghayat Kepercayaan, setidaknya dengan demikian negara meletakkan agama pribumi penting dan setara dengan agama besar lainnya
EMHA AINUN NADJIB DAN TEOLOGI HARMONI SOSIAL DALAM PERSPEKTIF SOSIOLOGI AGAMA
No full textTantangan kehidupan keberagamaan yang terus berkembang, narasi baru terus tumbuh yang disebabkan terbukanya kran reformasi, polarisasi politik, hingga munculnya media baru. Dalam ruang itu Harmoni sosial tak lagi menjadi tema utama, namun lebih pada diskursus ideologi yang menyebabkan menguatnya polarisasi keagamaan. Dalam konteks itu, Emha Ainun Nadjib tetap konsisten dengan perjuangan harmoni sosial di aras masyarakat bawah. Konsistensinya memiliki signifikansii sosial yang dibangun dengan pola pikir adaptif melalui tiga hal: kerangka sufisme (sturukturalisme transendental), based on living values berupa paham agama yang berbasis pada kehidupan, dan kerangka historis-antroposentris. Gerak sirkular tiga hal ini yang nantinya membangun teologi harmoni sosial Emha Ainun Nadjib.The religious life takes new challenges lately, new narration of religious issue continues to grow due to the reformation 1998, political polarization, and the emergence of new media. In this space, religious social harmony is no longer the main discourse, but rather the ideological discourse that causes strengthening religious polarization. In that context, Emha Ainun Nadjib remains consistent with the struggle for building social harmony in society. His consistency has social significance caused by his adaptive thought through three things: a framework sufism (transcendental structuralism), based on living values in the form of religious understanding based on social life, and historis-anthropocentric framework. These three circular movements build the theology of Emha Ainun Nadjib\u27s social harmony. Keyword; teologi harmoni, living values, transendensi, Historis-antroposentri
TRANSFORMASI KONFLIK AGAMA DAN STRATEGI REFORMATIF PADA PEMBANGUNAN BUDAYA DAMAI
No full textConflict accompanies religious life in Indonesia. Social interactions based on prejudice and stereotype still thrive in social relations. On the other hand, for some people religion is seen as a pathological source of conflict, not as a potential creativity for the building of a peaceful culture. In that context, this paper is compiled through a descriptive qualitative method with literature study. This method is used to discover key concepts and their application to efforts to find transformation and reformative strategies from religious conflicts. This transformation and reformative strategy is placed on the assumption that each culture has independent media to build a culture of peace through the internal culture of the community as an effective reconciliation force in building relationships between religious schools (mazhab) and social groups. From this analysis, three main concepts and strategies are found for the development of a culture of peace; first, opening the faucet of intercultural communication based on the existing culture in society, second, building a reformative-transformative national culture that is relevant to the needs of society and the current development. Third, the reformulation of religious understanding and interpretation as the spearhead of religious peace building. These three things have significance for efforts to build a basis for making every policy, social transformation and development of a peaceful culture to achieve future harmony for socio-religious life in Indonesia

Geology and slope stability assessment using Gis of federal route 185 At Km 98 -104, Lojing, Gua Musang, Kelantan
No full textSlope failure is known as one of the global unexpected natural disaster which cause to loss of life and massive economic declination in certain countries and become one of the major natural disasters in Malaysia. The Cameron Highland slope failure and the landslide in Genting Sempah are examples to name a few. There is obviously a need to establish hazard and risk maps for major highway route particularly in the Lojing area where rich into hilly and mountainous terrain. This study focuses on construction of slope stability assessment along Km 98-104 of Federal Route 185 by using data processing in a Geographical Information System (GIS). The technological advancement of ArcGIS software 10.2 has made it possible to map geological lineaments, geomorphological features, lithology and contour pattern contributing to high slope failure hazard. In this study, the thematic maps used are including lithology map, elevation map and slope degree map. Each of the thematic maps are classified according to their own specific rating scheme of slope failure hazard evaluation factor. This rating scheme is based on the major of inherent causative factor of slope stability that include the lithology, slope and elevation. These parameters are considered to contribute the potential or failure of the landslide. The data need to be transferred into raster data which will followed into specific weightage. The result are obtain from the overlaying of different maps which will form the combination of data. The summation of these parameters is used to obtain the suitability value to determine the possible location to have the landslide in study area
