Abstract

Abstract Existing analyses of the Islamic turn in regional Islamic politics in Indonesia have overlooked the possibility that these politics – often critiqued for their negative implications for minorities and vulnerable segments – are to some extent reflections of indigenous cultural dispositions. Drawing on the author's long-time ethnographic work in West Java, as well as recent anthropological theorising about public ethics in Islamic societies, the article identifies a significant correlation between, on the one hand, the practical forms and legislative outputs of the regional Islamic turn, and on the other, a characteristic notion of public decorum that is asserted in routines of embodied Islamic observance. The article notes that this extension of an embodied, practice-based public ethics into the political regimes of national life has created conflict with the disembodied civic order established in Indonesia's constitution and state ideology.
印尼区域政治中伊斯兰转向的人类学研究
对印尼地区伊斯兰政治转向的现有分析忽视了这样一种可能性,即这些政治——经常因其对少数民族和弱势群体的负面影响而受到批评——在某种程度上反映了土著文化倾向。根据作者在西爪哇的长期民族志工作,以及最近关于伊斯兰社会公共伦理的人类学理论,文章确定了两者之间的重要相关性,一方面,区域伊斯兰转向的实际形式和立法产出,另一方面,体现在伊斯兰仪式惯例中的公共礼仪的特征概念。文章指出,将具体的、以实践为基础的公共伦理延伸到国家生活的政治制度中,与印度尼西亚宪法和国家意识形态中建立的无实体的公民秩序产生了冲突。

期刊介绍: TRaNS approaches the study of Southeast Asia by looking at the region as a place that is defined by its diverse and rapidly-changing social context, and as a place that challenges scholars to move beyond conventional ideas of borders and boundedness. TRaNS invites studies of broadly defined trans-national, trans-regional and comparative perspectives. Case studies spanning more than two countries of Southeast Asia and its neighbouring countries/regions are particularly welcomed.
