No full textAsal usul kebudayaan : telaah antropologi penalaran terhadap advokasi intelektual diskursus kebudayaan Indonesia
No full textBuku ini hadir dengan argumentasi bahwa penalaran kiasan, yang selama ini dianggap lebih rendah dibandingkan penalaran modern, saintifik, empiris, justru merupakan satu kerja pengetahuan yang menggerakkan dan menggiatkan kehidupan social. Apa yang menggerakkan diskursus kebudayaan Indonesia bukanlah kemasukakalannya ataupun kememadaiannya secara logis dan empiris melainkan kekuatannya menggerakkan, memprovokasi, menstimulasi, pusparagam actor kehidupan social
Precarious Coexistence in Maluku: Fear and Trauma in Post-Conflict Christian-Muslim Relations
No full textThis paper examines the precarious coexistence between Muslims and Christians in post- conflict Maluku, Indonesia. The lasting effects of brutal conflict have left fear and trauma as the dominant emotions in the relationships of local residents. While these emotions are commonly seen as hindrances to peace by scholars and non-scholars alike, in post-conflict societies, they are inescapable and deeply ingrained. Nevertheless, they not only drive division, but also the desire to maintain peace. In Maluku, both Christians and Muslims are bound by the shared understanding that their current peaceful coexistence is delicate, and they must be cautious in their interactions with people of different religions, despite ongoing animosity and mistrust. This ongoing reality in Maluku calls for a reassessment of the normative tendency in peace discourses, which expect peace to be either ideal or impaired and tend not to be contextual in evaluating peace. To understand post-conflict coexistence better, we need to comprehend how emotions towards other groups operate in the emerging social settings
Bermain-main dengan Kebenaran Sejarah: Kontestasi Kedudukan dan Produksi Sosial Narasi Awal Mula
Get PDFIn common understanding, truth is inseparable from plausibility. This particular notion had influenced a strand of thinking in anthropology as well. This is evident from the inclination of some notable scholars to draw parallel comparisons between myth-making and scientific inquiry or depict their subject as a rational being predisposed toward overcoming contradictions. Reflecting on the myths of origin of the Butonese people in Seram Island and the notion of Indonesia as ancient civilization, I would like to propose that in social context the foundation of historical truths is never simply their coherence or plausibility but also their benefit in exalting or defending the prestige of a particular collectivity among the others. The comparison carried in this paper shows that this tendency, interestingly, applies to both ethnic and national communities. Their historical truths tend to be inextricable from political claims articulated and rearticulated amidst contestations with other actors in their social life. Johan Huizinga’s theory of play also found to be a sound framework in depicting this situation
