Desiring the east: a comparative study of Middle English romance and modern popular sheikh romance
No full textThis thesis comparatively examines a selection of twenty-first century sheikh romances and Middle English romances from the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries that imagine an erotic relationship occurring between east and west. They do so against a background of conflict, articulated in military confrontation and binary religious and ethnic division. The thesis explores the strategies used to facilitate the cross-cultural relationship across such a gulf of difference and considers what a comparison of medieval and modern romance can reveal about attitudes towards otherness in popular romance.
In Chapter 1, I analyse the construction of the east in each genre, investigating how the homogenisation of the romance east in sheikh romance distances it from the geopolitical reality of those parts of the Middle East seen, by the west, to be "other". Chapter 2 examines the articulation of gender identity and the ways in which these romances subvert and reassert binary gender difference to uphold normative heterosexual relations. Chapter 3 considers how ethnic and religious difference is nuanced, in particular through the use of fabric, breaking down the disjunction between east and west. Chapter 4 investigates the way ethnicity, religion and gender affect hierarchies of power in the abduction motif, enabling undesirable aspects of the east to be recast.
The key finding of this thesis is that both romance genres facilitate the cross-cultural erotic relationship by rewriting apparently binary differences of religion and ethnicity to create sameness. While the east is figured differently in Middle English and modern sheikh romance, the strategies they use to facilitate the cross-cultural erotic relationship are similar. The thesis concludes that the constancy of certain attitudes towards the east in both medieval and modern romance reveals a persistence of conservative values in representations of the east in romance
Assessing citizen satisfaction indicators for urban public services to enhance quality of life in Sharm el-Sheikh
No full textThe quality of urban life is a crucial area of urban studies, encompassing social, environmental, and economic aspects. Sharm el-Sheikh, a popular tourist destination in Egypt, faces challenges in balancing tourism development with citizen satisfaction with public services. This study aimed to assess citizen satisfaction with key urban services in Sharm el-Sheikh and identify areas for improvement. A survey was conducted by the South Sinai Urban Observatory, employing stratified sampling to ensure a representative sample across demographics. The survey utilized a combination of closed-ended questions with a five-point Likert scale and an open-ended question for additional feedback.The analysis revealed that citizens expressed satisfaction with road and traffic services, government office services, the City Council, and security services. However, dissatisfaction was also identified in areas such as educational services, access to qualified doctors, the sanitation system, the availability of safe drinking water, and cultural services.Based on these findings, the study recommends that decision-makers in Sharm el-Sheikh prioritize addressing these areas of lower satisfaction. Regularly conducting citizen satisfaction surveys and fostering trust between citizens and the government are crucial for ongoing improvement in urban and tourism services, ultimately enhancing the city's overall quality of life

“Sheikh Abdurrauf Kang Abangsa Syekh Hamzah Fansuri”: Examining the Relationship Between Two
No full textThe phrase "Sheikh Abdurrauf is in the same tribe as Hamzah Fansuri" in the Cirebon tripe manuscript sparked debate among researchers regarding the relationship between Sheikh Abdurrauf and Hamzah Fansuri. This debate became interesting because a collective memory was found among the people of Singkil Aceh, who believed that there was a nephew-uncle and student-teacher relationship between them. Collective memory is strengthened by two sites, which are the graves of Sheikh Ali Al Fanshuri (father of Sheikh Abdurrauf) and his younger brother, Sheikh Hamzah Fansuri, in two areas in Singkil. Through critical analysis of literature and in-depth exploration of collective memory and sites, the author concludes that the two of them had a familial relationship as nephew and uncle, and they even had a student and teacher relationship at the beginning of Sheikh Abdurrauf\u27s educatio

Anak Muda dan Media: Dakwah Sheikh Assim di Media Sosial Sebagai Basis Transmisi Salafisme di Indonesia
No full textAbstrak
Kelompok Salafi walau dikenal beraliran tradisional-konservatif dengan jargonya kembali pada Qur’an dan Sunnah, namun pada kenyataanya mereka dapat memanfaatkan teknologi informasi dengan maksimal untuk berdakwah. Tulisan ini membahas mengenai adanya gaya baru dakwah Salafi yang dilakukan oleh Sheikh Assim al-Hakeem. Ia merupakan seorang da\u27i asal Saudi yang dengan cepat mendapatkan popularitas di kalangan anak muda Indonesia melalui media sosial. Tulisan ini menganalisis cara dakwah yang disampaikan oleh Sheikh Assim yang banyak menarik simpati anak muda. Dengan menggunakan metode netnografi yang dicetuskan oleh Kozinets dengan 12 tahapan metodologis, penulis mengelaborasi dan menganalisis data secara virtual. Selain itu untuk mendapatkan data yang lebih komperhensif penulis juga melakukan wawancara lapangan kepada peserta kajian Sheikh Assim ketika berdakwah di Indonesia. Penelitian ini menyuguhkan pertanyaaan apa motivasi anak muda tertarik dengan kajian Salafi Sheikh Assim dan mengapa banyak diminati. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pendekatan dakwah yang menggabungkan doktrin Salafi dengan gaya komunikasi jenaka dapat menarik minat anak muda Indonesia, terutama mereka yang kurang memiliki pemahaman matang tentang agama. Popularitas Sheikh Assim sebagai da\u27i viral di media sosial dengan gaya komunikasi santai menjadi faktor utama yang mendorong ia banyak disukai anak muda baik di media sosial maupun di kajian dakwahnya secara langsung.
Abstract
Although Salafi are known to be traditional-conservative with their motto of returning to the Qur\u27an and Sunnah, they can make the most of information technology to preach. This paper discusses the new style of Salafi da\u27wah conducted by Sheikh Assim al-Hakeem. He is a Saudi da\u27i who quickly gained popularity among Indonesian youth through social media. This paper analyses the way of da\u27wah delivered by Sheikh Assim that attracts many young people. Using the netnography method coined by Kozinets with 12 methodological stages, the author elaborates and analyses the data virtually. In addition, to obtain more comprehensive data, the author conducted field interviews with Sheikh Assim\u27s followers when preaching in Indonesia. This research presents the question of what motivates youth to be interested in Sheikh Assim\u27s preaching and why they are in great demand. The results show that a da\u27wah approach that combines Salafi doctrine with a humorous communication style can attract Indonesian youth, especially those who lack a mature understanding of religion. Sheikh Assim\u27s popularity as a viral da\u27i on social media with a relaxed communication style is the main factor that drives him to be liked by many youths both on social media and in his preaching
