Abstract

Abstract Studies on tourism and pilgrimage show that spatial mobility, including transregional travel, mostly confirms and strengthens tourists’ and pilgrims’ social identities and symbolic boundaries between Self and Other. However, in guided religious package tours from Indonesia to Israel and Palestine, experiences with spatial boundaries do affect the Muslim and Christian pilgrims, adding more nuances to socio-cultural boundary-making. This complex making and breaching of boundaries relates to inner-Indonesian religious dynamics. Among both Muslim and Christian Indonesians, references to the Middle East express not only transregional solidarity but also multifarious orientations in inter and intra-religious relations within Indonesia. Among Indonesian Muslims, some orthodox Muslims’ orientations towards the Middle East as the birthplace of Islam are contested but also combined with indigenous Islamic traditions. Similar to these intra-Muslim frictions, members of Indonesia's Christian minority experience fissures in the expressions of local and global Christian identities. This article analyses how symbolic, social, and spatial boundaries are maintained and breached in transregional tourism from Indonesia to the Middle East.

从印度尼西亚到以色列和巴勒斯坦的穆斯林和基督教旅游的边界突破

旅游与朝圣研究表明，包括跨区域旅行在内的空间流动在很大程度上确认和强化了游客和朝圣者的社会身份和自我与他者之间的象征边界。然而，在从印度尼西亚到以色列和巴勒斯坦的有导游的宗教旅行团中，空间边界的经历确实影响了穆斯林和基督教朝圣者，为社会文化边界的形成增加了更多的细微差别。这种复杂的边界制造和突破与印尼内部的宗教动态有关。在印尼的穆斯林和基督徒中，提到中东不仅表达了跨区域的团结，也表达了印尼宗教间和宗教内部关系的多种取向。在印尼穆斯林中，一些正统穆斯林将中东视为伊斯兰教诞生地的观点受到质疑，但也与当地的伊斯兰传统相结合。与这些穆斯林内部的摩擦类似，印尼基督教少数群体的成员在表达当地和全球基督徒身份方面也经历了分歧。本文分析了从印度尼西亚到中东的跨区域旅游是如何维持和打破符号、社会和空间边界的。

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.
