The Heartware of Ecological Sustainability in the Asian Context
No full textFor many, the term “sustainability” is too elusive to grasp. To laypeople, the term often conjures up the image of government-led ecological conservation efforts to protect the planet from self-destruction caused by human greed and willful ignorance. However, for some, sustainability simply refers to a strategy of survival amid modernization, global economic intrusion, and socio-cultural dilution. This article attempts to make sense of these meanings by reflecting on the Asian Public Intellectuals (API) community’s collective endeavor-an endeavor that sought to learn from local communities about how to ensure “human-ecological balance.” More specifically, it examines the “heartware” of sustainability from the perspective of the locally engaged communities. It looks into the nexus between nature and culture and delves into the praxes of faith, religion, and spirituality as manifested in the many rituals and community festivities to cope with the rapidly changing ecology in five different countries in Southeast Asia and Japan. Based on intensive, multi-year engagement and collaboration with local communities, this chapter argues that while the onslaught of modernization, global capitalism, and climate change has significantly impacted these communities and their surrounding ecologies, the heartware remains as a predominant driving force for ecological sustainability. © The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. 2022
Ethical Problems in Contemporary Indonesian Television Programmes [Religion and Television in Indonesia: Ethics Surrounding Dakwahtainment]
No full textDuring Suharto’s New Order, television comedies were an outlet
to escape from the intense securitisation, if not indeed militarisation, of
society. The macho performances of men in military uniform, especially
the army, parading with their rifles and artillery were a common feature
on television. The prevalence of the military was also evident in weekly
television musical performances such as Aneka Safari in which the
venue more often than not was a military base. As if the location were
not enough, it was common for the female hosts, obviously not military
personnel, to don the military’s official green camouflaged uniform
together with its green, black or red beret, depending on which military
unit sponsored the weekly programme

Forty Years after the Islamic Revolution of Iran: an Indonesian Perspective
Full text linkFollowing 40 years of Khomeini’s Islamic Revolution in Iran, how does Indonesia view Iran then and now? Is the exportation of the Revolution now relevant amid the contemporary political constellation in the Middle East and the world? Does Shia Islam remain to pose a sociopolitical problem today in the largest Muslim nation? In view of the current political standoff with the United States of America, will the system, based on Velayat-e Fagheh (Guardianship of the Jurist), remain strong against all odds? This article explores these questions based on personal reflections, experiential learning and continuous engagement in and with Iran.
[Setelah 40 tahun Revolusi Islam pimpinan Khomeini berhasil memukau dunia, menarik untuk melihat pandangan Indonesia terhadap Iran, yang dulu dan sekarang. Apakah semangat revolusi masih relevan terkait dengan konstelasi politik Timur Tengah dan dunia kontemporer? Apakah persoalan Syiah masih dipandang sebagai pemicu berbagai problema sosio-politik di Indonesia? Melihat permusuhan Amerika terhadap Iran, apakah sistem Velayat-e Fagheh (Kepemimpinan oleh Faqih) masih relevan menghadapi berbagai tantangan yang dihadapi Iran saat ini? Artikel ini berupaya mengeksplorasi pertanyaan-pertanyaan di atas berdasar refleksi dan pengalaman personal serta pengamatan terhadap situasi perkembangan di Republik Islam Iran.
Introduction Action Research: Transforming Knowledge into Action [Religion and Television in Indonesia: Ethics Surrounding Dakwahtainment]
Full text linkIn relation to the above, this monograph was written stylistically
in a semi-academic form in the hope that this deliberate strategy would
ensure greater accessibility and comprehensibility for readers interested
in the subject matter. Hence, the monograph has been ‘translated’ into
a more readable and accessible format for the benefit of non-academic
readers. Elaboration on the relevant theories was also sparingly applied
in order to capture the essence of the ethical problems and
recommendations, without entering into the vast impenetrable forest of
scientific arguments and moral philosophical reasonin

Religion and Ethics [Religion and Television in Indonesia: Ethics Surrounding Dakwahtainment]
Full text linkSinger (1994: 3-4) defines ethics as the science “about how people
ought to live” and “the systematic studying of reasoning about how we
ought to act”. He argues that the term often refers to a set of rules,
principles, or way of thinking that guide, or claim authority to guide,
the actions of a particular group. This way, ethics is often misconstrued
as being similar to “law” for the plain reason that many believe ethics
should be the guiding principle that serves as the foundation for society’s
conception of good and bad or in deciding what constitutes right and
wrong action or behaviour. The immediate problem emerging from this
discourse is the subjective claims made on the determination of what is
good and bad or right and wrong for societ
