    Moderating Resistances: The Reproduction of Muslim Religious Space in the Dutch East Indies

    Get PDF
    This study seeks to historically elaborate on the roots of moderate Islam, focusing on the productive practices towards religious spaces in the Dutch colonial periods in the East Indies. It analyses the strategic changes in the Dutch reproduction of religious space during the Aceh War and the Sarekat Islam periods. The author argues that the Dutch government frequently seized Muslim religious space to secure its colonial power. The colonial government reproduced Muslim religious space in these two eras, representing symbolic support for the Dutch colonial hegemony. The appropriation of religious space was a spatial strategy to perpetuate the hegemony in social space. This study concludes that the reproduction of Muslim space represented a moderate position towards the Dutch colonial hegemony. Meanwhile, counter-space emerged to reverse such moderating practices. By counter-space, the Dutch moderating efforts on socio-religious space were contested, opposed, and condemned.[Kajian ini berupaya menguraikan secara historis akar Islam moderat, dengan fokus pada praktik produksi ruang keagamaan pada masa penjajahan Belanda di Indonesia. Analisis difokuskan pada perubahan strategi pemerintah kolonial Belanda dalam melakukan reproduksi ruang keagamaan selama periode Perang Aceh dan Sarekat Islam. Pemerintah Belanda sering merebut ruang keagamaan umat Islam untuk mengamankan kekuasaannya. Pemerintah kolonial mereproduksi ruang keagamaan umat Islam pada dua era tersebut sebagai merupakan simbol dukungan terhadap hegemoni kolonial Belanda. Perampasan ruang keagamaan merupakan strategi spasial untuk melanggengkan hegemoni atas ruang sosial. Kajian ini menyimpulkan bahwa reproduksi ruang keagamaan Islam merepresentasikan posisi moderat terhadap hegemoni kolonial. Sementara itu, ruang perlawanan muncul untuk membalikkan praktik-praktik moderasi tersebut. Melalui ruang perlawanan ini, upaya-upaya moderasi pemerintah kolonial Belanda dalam bidang sosial-keagamaan ditentang, ditantang, dan dikecam.

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

    Variations on the Author

    “Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    We provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis

    Islam Radikal versus Islam Moderat: Kontestasi Framing dan Networking dalam Perang Aceh dan Sarekat Islam

    Get PDF
    Sebagai agama yang mengakar dalam mayoritas penduduk Indonesia dan sistem keyakinan yang menjadi sumber acuan dalam kehidupan privat sehari-hari, Islam juga telah terbukti menjadi sumber pemaknaan sekaligus sumber strategi bagi pertumbuhan gerakan sosial di Indonesia. Namun, satu hal yang penting untuk dicatat, pemaknaan itu tidak serta merta stagnan dan tunggal. Dalam perkembangannya, makna-makna ajaran Islam yang menginspirasi bagi pertumbuhan gerakan sosial di dalam sejarah Indonesia itu mengalami perubahan, dipahami secara berbeda dan, akhirnya, menimbulkan pertentangan di antara elemen gerakan sosial. Persoalan ini menjadi semakin rumit karena ajaran Islam juga dimanfaatkan oleh penguasa sebagai sarana politik pecah-belah dan penjinakan demi melanggengkan kekuasaan mereka. Berangkat dari sejarah panjang peran ajaran Islam dalam gerakan sosial di Indonesia tersebut, maka penciptaan makna yang melatarbelakangi lahirnya suatu gerakan sosial merupakan aspek penting untuk penyebaran ide-ide gerakan kepada orang atau berbagai kelompok masyarakat. Penciptaan, penyebaran, dan pelanggengan makna ini akan menentukan sampai sejauh mana suatu gerakan sosial mampu bertahan dan berkembang. Pemaknaan itu bisa saja berkaitan dengan ide tentang sebab dan tujuan suatu gerakan sosial, bisa pula pemaknaan terhadap hakikat lawan yang dihadapi yang merupakan faktor yang mampu mempengaruhi massa untuk ikut serta dalam sebuah gerakan (perlawanan)

    Supporting or Resisting a Cement-Mining Industry: The Framing and Counter-framing of Religious Leaders (Kiai) in the Northern Kendeng, Central Java, Indonesia

    This research would elaborate an agrarian conflict that occurred between the mining industry and local peasants in the mountains of northern Kendeng in Central Java, Indonesia. The northern Kendeng Mountains are a range of limestone mountains that stretch across the Central and East Java regions. Due to its karst potential, it has invited interest from the mining industry (Widi, 2013). However, the arrival of the mining industry has been rejected by local villagers, the majority of which depended on agriculture for their lives. The surrounding agricultural community believes that the arrival of the mining industry would cause damage to the Kendeng mountainous ecosystem. In the context of support to and resistance against the construction of a cement factory, the involvement of religious leaders (kiai or ulama) and narratives has emerged to the surface. The supports from religious figures and narratives are dynamic. On the one hand, the kiais and their religious narratives are reproduced to enlarge the wave of resistance against the expansion of the mining industry. Yet, on the other hand, the religious figures and narratives have also been exploited to provide a justification for the expansion of the cement-mining industry in the northern Kendeng. The production and reproduction of religious narratives by religious leaders looks very manifest. As a result, the framing contest between the two groups occured, each of which attempted to do framing and counter-framing by reproducing religious narratives and discourses based on Islamic doctrines

Proyek strategis nasional memiliki efek samping berupa krisis sosial ekologis pada masyarakat terdampak langsung pembangunan. Warga terdampak langsung proyek strategis nasional (PSN) mengalami eksklusi sosial berupa ketidakadilan

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    Get PDF
    We conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more sophisticated methods
