{"title":"The Morphogenesis of the Discourses of Religious Radicalism in Post-Authoritarian Indonesia","authors":"S. Yudha","doi":"10.7454/MJS.V24I2.10813","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.7454/MJS.V24I2.10813","url":null,"abstract":"Ambiguitas konsepsi menyebabkan eksplanasi mengenai gejala radikalisme keagamaan di tingkat global bersifat interpretatif sesuai dengan konteks dan makna yang diberikan oleh kalangan intelektual. Wajar pengetahuan mengenai hal ini tumpang tindih dengan konsepsi lain seperti kebangkitan keagamaan, fundamentalisme, ekstremisme, militansi, terorisme, hingga jihad. Sejalan dengan gagasan tersebut, pengetahuan mengenai diskursus radikalisme keagamaan pascaotoritarian Indonesia diproduksi oleh institusi yang memiliki otoritas sekaligus motif untuk melakukan interpretasi sesuai dengan struktur pengetahuan yang dikembangkan para pendahulunya. Institusi tersebut, baik institusi negara maupun masyarakat sipil, mengonstruksi diskursus radikalisme dengan penjelasan deskriptif sehingga menghasilkan gagasan pengetahuan yang bersifat reproduktif alih-alih elaboratif-transformatif. Pendapat tersebut ada benarnya, namun pada praktiknya perlu penambahan kerangka yang lebih komprehensif dalam menjelaskan radikalisme guna mengantisipasi dampak yang ditimbulkan. Penulis berargumen bahwa konstruksi pengetahuan mengenai diskursus radikalisme harus ditempatkan dalam kerangka morfogenesis di mana terdapat elaborasi dan transformasi proses reproduksi pengetahuan secara struktural guna menghasilkan khasanah pengetahuan baru yang bersifat prediktif. Pemetaan dan konstruksi radikalisme dilakukan berdasarkan produk (hasil) sekaligus pembuat produk (agen-agen) yang membentuk struktur pengetahuan yang dapat dijadikan mitigasi sekaligus peringatan dini untuk mengontrol radikalisme. The ambiguity of conception results in the explanation of the symptoms of religious radicalism at the global level becoming interpretative, depending on the contexts and meanings given by intellectuals. It becomes natural that knowledge of the conception overlaps with others, such as religious revivalism, fundamentalism, extremism, militancy, terrorism, and jihad. In line with the idea, knowledge on the discourses of religious radicalism in post-authoritarian Indonesia has been produced by institutions having the authorities and motives to make interpretations, according to the knowledge structure developed by their predecessors. These institutions, both state and civil society, construct the discourses of radicalism with descriptive explanations, to produce reproductive ideas rather than elaborative-transformative knowledge. The aforementioned opinion is true, but in practice, it is necessary to add a more comprehensive framework in explaining radicalism to anticipate its impacts. This article argues that the construction of knowledge on the discourses of radicalism must be placed within the framework of morphogenesis, where there are an elaboration and a transformation of the process of knowledge reproduction structurally, to produce a repertoire of new knowledge that is predictive. Mapping and construction of radicalism have been carried out based on products (results) as well as product makers (ag","PeriodicalId":31129,"journal":{"name":"Masyarakat Jurnal Sosiologi","volume":"1 1","pages":"167-186"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43131439","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Sebagian besar grup itu dikuasai dan dikelola oleh pengusaha etnis Tionghoa. Perkembangan cepat produksi kelapa sawit di Indonesia telah mengundang banyak penanaman modal asing di bidang usaha perkebunan sawit. Penanaman modal terbesar berasal dari Singapura. Akan tetapi, kebanyakan investasi dari Singapura ternyata dilaksanakan oleh grup-grup bisnis yang dikuasai pengusaha etnis Tionghoa Indonesia. Artikel ini menunjukkan bahwa kondisi pasar bebas telah memengaruhi orientasi dari nasionalisasi perusahaan-perusahaan tersebut. Akibatnya muncul gerakan konglomerasi transnasional, sebagaimana yang terjadi di dalam kasus perkebunan kelapa sawit di Indonesia. Artikel ini ditulis berdasarkan penelitian kualitatif terhadap data-data sekunder, seperti dari Badan Pusat Statistik (BPS) dan sebagainya. Since the end of 1957, Dutch enterprises in Indonesia were nationalized and most of palm oil production affiliated with certain corporate groups that are engaged in diversified business. Most of these groups are dominated by ethno-Chinese businessmen. The rapid expansion of oil palm business in Indonesia has induced the inflow of foreign capital to plantation enterprises. The largest inflow has taken place from Singapore. However, most of the investment from Singapore was carried out by business groups dominated by Indonesian Chinese tycoons. This article shows that free-market conditions have influenced the orientation of nationalization of those enterprises. It has created the transnational conglomerate movement in case of palm oil plantation in Indonesia.

Namun, di Indonesia TAJ masih sangat jarang digunakan untuk meneliti laboratorium sebagai perkumpulan (assemblage) yang berjalan, kendati peranannya yang penting dalam memproduksi pengetahuan teknis. Guna mengisi kekosongan tersebut, artikel ini bertujuan untuk menggambarkan penerapan TAJ pada kerja laboratorium, khusus di Laboratorium Struktur dan Material serta Laboratorium Uji Teknik Sipil Universitas Indonesia menggunakan konsep proses translasi. Artikel ini menemukan bahwa laboratorium tersusun bukan hanya oleh aktor manusia, seperti ahli-ahli yang otoritatif, tetapi juga aktor non-manusia–contoh: gedung dan peralatan atau mesin. Seiring performanya, laboratorium membentuk asosiasi, yang tidak hanya menbangun tetapi juga memutus atau memilih relasi sesuai dengan kebutuhan jaringan tanpa harus seluruh aktor menyadari akan proses tersebut. Hal ini mengindikasikan keterbatasan ANT dalam mendeteksi ihwal-ihwal di luar tindakan dalam pembentukan jaringan. Pendekatan metode kualitatif diterapkan mengingat itulah yang paling tepat untuk dapat menerapkan prinsip pelacakan aktor dalam TAJ. Actor-Network Theory (ANT) has been implemented to study various topics in Indonesian contexts such as microcredit, coral reef, contestation within the sustainable energy project, and civil-military relations. However, ANT is seldom used to examine laboratories as working assemblages in Indonesia, despite its crucial role in producing technological knowledge. In order to fill that research gap, this article intends to illustrate ANT implementation in studying the work of a laboratory, specifically at the Materials and Structure Lab and Civil Engineering Testing Lab of Universitas Indonesia using the concept or process of translation. This study found that a laboratory consists not only of human actors, such as authoritative experts, but alsoof non-human actors—e.g. buildings and equipment or machines. During its performance, the laboratory establishes an association, which is not only by creating, but also cutting off or choosing relations in accordance with the needs of the network, without all the actors being fully aware of it. This shows ANT’s limit in investigating elements outside the actions of actors in creating a network. The qualitative methodological approach is utilized with the consideration of better meeting the principles of ANT in following or tracing actors.","PeriodicalId":31129,"journal":{"name":"Masyarakat Jurnal Sosiologi","volume":"1 1","pages":"187-209"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49055684","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Artikel ini menemukan bahwa  inovasi kelembagaan menjadi hal penting dilakukan demi menjaga keberlangsungan usaha pertanian  padi sawah di Desa Duriaasi. Studi terdahulu, seperti Vierimaa (2017) hanya menganalisis melalui  pendekatan politik organisasi dan Michael Straub (2017) hanya mengesplorasi tentang peran media  massa dalam kontestasi ekonomi politik. Berbeda dengan keduanya, artikel ini menggunakan  pendekatan Fligstein dan McAdam tentang Strategic Action Fields (SAF) yang memiliki pengaruh  signifikan untuk menganalisis pendapatan masyarakat petani. Pendapatan masyarakat petani  dipengaruhi oleh kontestasi persaingan pembelian gabah petani oleh pedagang (penggilingan padi),  baik pedagang dalam Desa maupun pedagang diluar Desa Duriaasi. Dalam konsep SAF pedagang  dalam Desa berposisi sebagai petahana ( incumbents ) dan pedagang di luar Desa sebagai penantang  ( challengers ). Artikel ini ditulis berdasarkan penelitian kualitatif dengan pengumpulan data berupa  desk research, wawancara mendalam, hingga observasi pada bulan Juli 2017 sampai Januari 2018 di  Kabupaten Konawe, Sulawesi Tenggara. This article focuses on institutional innovations in a farming community by linking the institutional  approach in increasing farmers’ income. This article finds that institutional innovation is  an important aspect in maintaining the sustainability of wet rice farming in Duriaasi Village.  Previous studies, such as Vierimaa (2017), only made an analysis using the organizational political  approach, while Michael Straub (2017) only explored the role of the mass media in political economy  contestations. In contrast to both, this article uses the Fligstein and McAdam’s approach on Strategic  Action Fields (SAF), which has a significant effect on analyzing the income of farming communities.  Their income of farmers is influenced by the contestations in the purchasing of farmers’ crops by the  bargainer (rice millers) inside and outside of the Village. In the SAF concept, the “native” bargainers  hailing from Duriaasi village take place as incumbents, while the bargainers from outside the village  are taking the position as challengers.

Berdasarkan 10 bulan studi etnografi tingkat desa di sebuah desa di Jawa Barat antara tahun 2014 hingga 2015, artikel ini akan menganalisis bagaimana reformasi demokrasi tingkat desa ini dirasakan dan dialami oleh penduduk desa Indonesia, terutama oleh orang miskin. Artikel ini berargumen bahwa terlepas dari maraknya program-program dan lembaga partisipatif demokratis tingkat desa, penduduk desa miskin masih banyak mengandalkan cara-cara informal dalam berinteraksi dengan para elite mereka, dan pada saat yang sama meninggalkan peluang mereka untuk berpartisipasi melalui jalur partisipasi formal. Saya menemukan bahwa praktik-praktik informal ini disebabkan oleh tiga alasan utama: kemampuan orang miskin untuk terlibat dalam mekanisme musyawarah formal yang terbatas; kebutuhan untuk menjaga hubungan mereka dengan sesama elit mereka; dan elite yang semakin kompetitif dan semakin akuntabel. This article will address these key questions: why do the poor villagers are not participating within these formal participatory deliberative forums? and what do they do instead in claiming accountability and gain access to services and their everyday livelihood resources? Based on 10 months of village level ethnographic study in a West Java village between 2014 to 2015, this article will focus on how these village level democratic reforms are perceived and experienced by Indonesian villagers, especially by the poor, as they interact with a plethora of village level participatory democratic institutions that are become available. This article argues that despite the proliferation of village level democratic avenues, the poor villagers still regularly rely on informal means in engaging with their elites while at the same time forgo their chances to participate through the formal avenue of participation. These informal practices stem from three key rationales: the differential capacity of the poor to engage within formal deliberative mechanism; preserving their relation with their fellow elites; and increasingly competitive elites that become increasingly accountable in providing them with better access to services.","PeriodicalId":31129,"journal":{"name":"Masyarakat Jurnal Sosiologi","volume":"1 1","pages":"143-165"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49647116","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Whereas this article constructs NEET from the SUSENAS (National Socio-Economic Survey) and related MSBP (Module of Social, Cultural, and Education) of 2015, which are household surveys. We found that almost one in four youth in Indonesia are neither engage in employment nor education or training. NEET is more prevalent among youth women, those residing in rural areas, and among rural married women. The richness of information collected in these surveys enable us to analyze factors affecting Indonesian youth to be NEET beyond those related to work-related issues.

Sebagai mascot resmi, Mickey Mouse telah bertahan lama sejak tahun 1928 sampai saat ini, melalui karya yang telah dihasilkan seperti motion picture, serial televisi, komik, buku , dan taman bermain. Eksistensi Mickey Mouse telah membuat Walt Disney Company sukses menjadi salah satu perusahaan yang sukses mendominasi industry hiburan dunia. Studi-studi sebelumnya menjelaskan bahwa eksistensi mascot dalam industr i hiburan dilanggengkan melalui strategi perusahaan yaitu branding dan supply chain management. Selanjutnya, studi-studi sebelumnya mengenai global value chain belum membahas perusahaan dari segi maskotnya, tapi hanya melihat konsekuensi aktivitas bisnis yang dilakukan dalam industry. Oleh karena itu, artikel ini berfokus pada maskot dari Walt Disney Company yaitu Mickey Mouse dalam membangun perusahaan ke dalam ekonomi global melalui perspektif global value chain. Strategi branding dan supply chain management termasuk dalam salah satu elemen global value chain yaitu struktur input-output. Kemudian, pelanggengan eksistensi dari mascot juga didukung oleh elemen global value chain lain yaitu konteks local institusional dan skop ageografis. This article analyses the existence of Mickey Mouse as a mascot of the Walt Disney Company based on global value chain perspective. As an official mascot of Walt Disney Company, Mickey Mouse has been well-established since 1928 to present day, with its artwork that has been produced such as the motion picture, television series, comic, book, and theme parks. Its existence has made Walt Disney Company as one of the successful multinational companies that dominate the entertainment industry in the world. The earlier studies said that the existence of a company mascot in the entertainment industry perpetuated by the company's strategy through branding and supply chain management. Furthermore, in the global value chain, previous studies have not yet discussed the company by its mascot that only viewed by its consequence of the business in the industry. Therefore, this article analyses the mascot of the Disney Company’s, Mickey Mouse that is in building the company into a global economy using the global value chain perspective. Nonetheless, the branding strategy and supply chain management correlate to one of the global value chain elements, is an input-output structure. The perpetuation of the existence of a mascot is supported by other global value chain elements that are the local institutional context and geographic scope.

Penelitian terdahulu seputar kebijakan penerimaan pengungsi di Amerika Serikat umumnya focus pada kepentingan keamanan politik, sementara keputusan penerimaan pengungsi Suriah mencerminkan adanya kepentingan lain yang menjadi pertimbangan, yaitu aspek ideasional sebagai nation of immigrants . Dengan menggunakan analisis diskursus terhadap pidato dan pernyataan resmi para actor pemerintahan Amerika Serikat, penelitian ini menawarkan perspektif alternati f dalam memahami bagaimana Amerika Serikat mengambil keputusan yang tidak sejalan dengan kepentingan keamanan tradisional namun didorong pertimbangan lain, yaitu keamanan ontologism atau keamanan akan identitas diri. Menggunakan kerangka analisis oleh Brent J. Steele, tulisan ini menemukan bahwa kesadaran Amerika Serikat akan kapabilitasnya, disertai oleh ingatan masa lalu akan identitas sebagai bangsa imigran dan imbauan aktor-aktor internasional mendorong Amerika Serikat untuk berusaha melanggengkan identitasnya dengan menerima pengungsi Suriah. Upaya melanggengkan identitas ini tidak dapat lepas dari kekhawatiran akan ancaman keamanan nasional yang diutarakan berbagai actor dalam negeri, sehingga jumlah pengungsi yang diterima dapat dilihat sebagai kompromi antara keamanan ontologism e dan keamanan tradisional. This article examines the United States of America’s decision to admit 10.000 Syrian refugees in the fiscal year of 2016 amidst potential national security concerns brought by the incoming refugees. Past studies on the United States’ policies of refugee admission mainly focus on the security and political interests, while this particular admission decision reflects a different interest consideration, namely the ideational aspect of the United States as a nation of immigrants. Through discourse analysis on the speeches and remarks made by government actors of the United States, this research offers an alternative perspective on understanding how the United States came to a decision that may not reflect traditional security interests but reflects its ontological security needs or its security of being. Using the framework of analysis offered by Brent J. Steele, this research finds that the United States’ awareness of its capabilities, along with past memory as a nation of immigrants and urgings from fellow international actors affect the United States in reaching the decision to admit Syrian refugees. This effort to preserve its identity, however, is still limited by security worries voiced by internal actors, thus resulting in the small number of refugees admitted as a compromise between the needs to ensure both ontological and traditional security.
