Abstract

This article discusses how Islamic conservatism has affected public discourse and policymaking on gender and sexuality and its impact on the struggle for gender equality and sexual rights in contemporary Indonesia. It particularly seeks to examine and analyse how Muslim women in the Family Love Alliance produced a counter-discourse against feminism in their struggle to oppose the ratification of the sexual violence eradication bill. While research on Islam and gender in Indonesia has primarily focused on Islamic feminism, little research has addressed the counter-discourse against Islamic feminism produced by Muslim women and how this might influence ideas of and advocacy for women's rights and gender equality. Some scholars on Indonesian Islam have also argued that rising Islamism has turned the country more religiously conservative. However, scholarly understanding of the relationship between Islamic conservatism and gender remains limited. Drawing on my fieldwork in 2018 and 2019 and informed by social movement theory, this study captures how AILA women activists represent a conservative Islamic backlash against gender equality movements in contemporary Indonesia's public sphere.
穆斯林妇女反对女权主义:家庭之爱联盟及其对当代印度尼西亚妇女和性权利的影响
本文讨论伊斯兰保守主义如何影响公共话语和有关性别和性行为的政策制定,以及它对当代印尼性别平等和性权利斗争的影响。它特别试图审查和分析家庭爱联盟中的穆斯林妇女如何在反对批准消除性暴力法案的斗争中产生反对女权主义的反话语。虽然印度尼西亚对伊斯兰教和性别的研究主要集中在伊斯兰女权主义上,但很少有研究涉及穆斯林妇女对伊斯兰女权主义的反对言论,以及这可能如何影响妇女权利和性别平等的思想和倡导。一些研究印尼伊斯兰教的学者也认为,伊斯兰主义的兴起使这个国家在宗教上变得更加保守。然而,对伊斯兰保守主义和性别之间关系的学术理解仍然有限。根据我在2018年和2019年的田野调查,并根据社会运动理论,本研究捕捉了AILA女性活动家如何代表当代印度尼西亚公共领域中对性别平等运动的保守伊斯兰反弹。

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.
