    Teologi Transformatif Jaringan Islam Liberal

    Full text link
    This article aims at discussing the extent of theological significance of Jaringan Islam Liberal (JIL, Islamic Liberal Networks) in Indonesia founded and led by Ulil Abshar Abdalla. This is because theology is the soul of religious adherents’ life who intend to work through God’s words in the world. JIL has come as an anti-thesis against Islamic fundamentalism movements, which tend to be rigid, intolerant, and exclusive. The facts can be observed, at least, in such mass organizations as Majelis Mujahidin Indonesia (MMI), Laskar Jihad (LJ), Front Pembela Islam (FPI), Ikhwanul Muslimin Indonesia (IMI), and Hizbut Tahrir Indonesia (HTI). The issuance of “the death fatwa” against Ulil Abshar is a part of textual paradigm held by these mass organizations. To JIL it is important to bring about inclusive and moderate theological understandings. Its mission and agenda, then, are fighting against Islamic fundamentalists’ understanding as they are considered obstacles to the advance of Muslim community. Here is the important role of the theology that has to be made as a basis of liberation and freedom for the weak community; then it will be truly meaningful for the weak and poor people

    Sufisme dan Nasionalisme: studi tentang ajaran Cinta Tanah Air dalam Tarekat Ṣiddīqīyah di Ploso, Jombang

    Full text link
    Disertasi ini mendiskusikan fenomena tarekat Ṣiddīqīyah di Ploso dengan gagasan nasionalismenya. Dalam dunia tasawuf, hal tersebut minim didiskusikan. Hadirnya tarekat tersebut dinilai telah memberi warna baru dalam kajian tasawuf. Oleh karena itu, kajian ini hadir guna mengungkap: Bagaimana latar belakang perkembangan tarekat Ṣiddīqīyah; Bagaimana perubahan dinamika sosial masyarakat sebagai dampak hadirnya tarekat ini? Serta bagaimana peran dan konseptualisasi tarekat Ṣiddīqīyah dalam persoalan Nasionalisme? Untuk mendapatkan jawaban yang tepat dari persoalan tersebut, disertasi ini muncul sebagai satu kajian kualitatif, menggunakan pendekatan fenomenologi agama dengan memanfaatkan pelbagai sumber tekstual dan diperkuat dengan wawancara. Semua dilakukan guna memperoleh fakta yang benar-benar valid untuk memperkuat analisis yang dilakukan. Berdasarkan proses analisis terhadap seluruh data yang diperoleh disertasi menyimpulkan beberapa hal. Pertama, peran kiai Muhammad Muchtar Mu'thi sangat sentral terhadap kehadiran tarekat Ṣiddīqīyah. Meskipun tarekat ini dinisbahkan kepada Abū Bakr al-Ṣiddīq, sejatinya sanad tarekat tersebut berpangkal pada ‘Alī b. Abī Ṭālib. Kedua, tarekat Ṣiddīqīyah memandang kegiatan kemasyarakatan sebagai media dakwah yang paling sentral dalam dakwah terlebih lagi dengan meninggalkan jejak sejarah semisal pesantren maupun unit-unit usaha yang mampu memperbaiki tingkat kesejahteraan masyarakat. Ketiga, secara konseptual Ṣiddīqīyah memandang 18 Agustus 1945 sebagai hari kelahiran Negara Kesatuan Republik Indonesia (NKRI) sedangkan 17 Agustus 1945 adalah kemerdekaan bangsa Indonesia bukan Negara. Selain itu Ṣiddīqīyah menawarkan konsep Walisongo Republik Indonesia yang terdiri dari sembilan anggota panitia penyusun Undang-undang Dasar (UUD) 1945. Dengan menekankan pentingnya cinta tanah air sebagai salah satu inti ajaran yang didakwahkan, Ṣiddīqīyah berusaha mengangkat arus baru dalam bertasawuf, atau paling tidak berusaha meninjau kembali akan adanya relasi yang mendasar antara tasawuf dalam Islam dan nasionalisme di Indonesia

    Pemikiran Abdullah Saeed tentang Riddah dan Hak Asasi Manusia

    No full text
    As an intellectual Muslim, Abdullah Saeed obviously concerns to contemporary issues of Islam. He attempts to contextualize Islamic values based on faith that Islamic doctrine is shâlih li kulli zamân wa makân. This attempt appears, for instance, on his views relating to the concept of riddah (apostasy) and human rights. Saeed offers what he names as progressive-ijtihadits methodology: a method to re-interpret religious texts based on necessities of contemporary people. Bids progressive-ijtihadist methodology is still facing many obstacles, but should be used as an alternative and a way out. The biggest challenge is the internal constraints, such as unpreparedness of Muslims themselves for the brave dissent, the pleasure of the culture of blaming each other (takfîr), and a cynical view of some groups of Muslims who consider this method as a deviation from the original Islamic teachings. Saeed uses historical analysis to observe and set the concept of riddah as a sin not as crime. By using historical analysis, he said, we can examine the concept due to scientific approach: centripetal and centrifugal. Therefore, the concept of riddah consists of both ontological and existential problems.</p

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    Full text link
    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

    The purpose of this study was to describe the history of the Shiddiqiyyah Tarekat, the forms of nationalism in the Shiddiqiyyah Tarekat, and the meeting point of religion and nationalism in the Shiddiqiyyah Tarekat. The research approach used a qualitative approach with a descriptive research type. The data collection techniques used were observation, in-depth interviews, and literature study. The results showed that the Shiddiqiyyah Tarekat was a tarekat with very rapid development and had its own uniqueness that was different from other Sufi groups or tarekat. The forms of nationalism of the shiddiqiyyah tarekat were the eight abilities that must be held, the national monument, the poetry of the source of the independence of the Indonesian nation and the establishment of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia and the establishment of a brotherhood of love for the Indonesian homeland. The meeting point of religion and nationalism in the shiddiqiyyah tarekat was the concept of hubbul wathan minal iman, which means that love for the country was part of faith

    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

    Full text link
    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
