Cybertorture: Transformation of Humanitarian Crime and Development of Normative Construction in Indonesia

The development and social transformation of technology has had an impact on changes in the types and forms of violence and even torture aimed as an instrument of terror, punishment and even extermination. The practice of cybertorture has not become a popular narrative or discourse in Indonesia even though it has been realized about the serious impact, especially on psychological, mental and social aspects. Such actions are part of crimes against humanity and violations of human rights. This study aims to further examine the concepts, characteristics and efforts to develop law enforcement based on the perspective of human rights and civil and political rights. There are 2 problematic issues in this paper, namely 1. What are the concepts and characteristics of cybertortortue; 2. What are the opportunities for the development of Cybertortue law enforcement in Indonesia? Literature study (library research) is used as a method to examine existing concepts and legal materials so that an analytical description can be produced that can answer the problems posed. The study concluded that Cybertorture is a new type of torture that is intentionally carried out in the cyber space to provide pain, in the form of threats to physical, psychological, bullying, sexual violence, or other inhumane acts of torture, causing severe mental, psychological, social and physical suffering. Cybertorture is a new form of torture that has the potential to continue to grow, but there is no serious and focused legal politics to tackle it. It is necessary to further develop strategies and approaches in law enforcement instruments in Indonesia with a human rights perspective and victim protection.

Studi Mazhab Frankfurt School Jurgen Habermas Dalam Diskursus Etika Politik Indonesia

This study seeks to identify two principles in Jurgen Habermas's discourse, namely Indonesian universal political ethics and Indonesian discourse political ethics. Done by implementing a qualitative description approach with the type of literature study. Data consists of documents that include books, journals, and relevant research results. The collected data will then be understood, recorded, and phrased and then analyzed by actualizing Habermas's discourse theory which contains (Universal Ethics) and (Discourse Ethics). So that conclusions can be drawn. This study states that in universal ethics, the formulation and implementation of the principles of universal political ethics Indonesia uses the philosophy of Pancasila because it is identified as the basis of the state and ideology of the Indonesian nation. Thus, all legal doctrines and legal political mechanisms in Indonesia need to contain the values contained in Pancasila. Meanwhile, discourse ethics states that the ethical principles of Indonesian discourse are carried out with the mechanism of the concept of democracy which focuses on a discourse in a public space. Therefore, the moral principles of ethics only need to be applied in the realm of legal systems and politics (Universal Ethics) not in the realm of democracy (Discourse Ethics). Because discourse upholds the principle of freedom, there is no intervention and does not require moral verification by all participants like universal ethics.

The Politics of Islamophobia in Indonesia: Reacting Religious Issues in Politics

This research analyses the political ramifications of Islamophobia in Indonesia, particularly how the apprehension linked to radical Islamic ideologies shapes the responses of government and political entities. Utilising a qualitative library research approach, this paper scrutinises an array of academic books, peer-reviewed journals, and scholarly articles to explore the interplay between religious anxieties and political measures. The findings indicate that the government's approach to combating perceived threats from Islamic movements involves strict enforcement of Pancasila, alleviation of fears regarding the replacement of national ideology by a caliphate, and promotion of religious moderation to deter extremism. The study highlights the politicisation of radicalism and Islamophobia, revealing the strategic use of these concerns to influence public policy and political discourse in Indonesia.

INDONESIAN DISCOURSE PARTICLES FOUND IN THE TRANSLATION OF ENGLISH YES/NO QUESTIONS IN THE RPG HONKAI: STAR RAIL

In typical Indonesian dialogues or casual speech (cakap), particles are commonly used. The dynamics of the Role-Playing Game (RPG) Honkai: Star Rail are closely tied to character interactions, particularly through dialogues that include yes-no questions. This study aims to identify Indonesian discourse particles in the translation of English yes/no questions in the RPG Honkai: Star Rail. The researcher finds that there are thirteen (13) units or 69% of Indonesian discourse particles found in the translation of English yes/no questions. The discourse particles ya are the most frequent. This particle is 9 units, meanwhile, kan and dong are 3 units or 23% and 1 unit or 8% respectively. Since RPGs are a medium for delivering a variety of languages, it would be beneficial for other researchers to explore language use in RPGs further.

SINO-US STRATEGIC COMPETITION IN THE INDO-PACIFIC: EXPLORING RESPONSES FROM MALAYSIA AND INDONESIA

The methodology adopted for this review was systematic by following the seven stages suggested by Petticrew and Roberts (2008). This review’s findings indicated the diverse range of theories, methodologies, practical strategies, and approaches that scholars have employed in examining the roles of Indonesia and Malaysia in the Indo-Pacific region. Consequently, this paper broadens the scope for scholars by expounding upon the strategic outlook of Indonesia and Malaysia within the Indo-Pacific discourse, along with the various methodological and theoretical frameworks and conceptual models that may inform future research endeavours. This study was however, limited to gathering input from journal articles, books, book chapters, and reports, and excluding other sources such as conference papers and op-eds. Furthermore, thescope of studies accessed was limited to data available from 2013 to September 2023.

Human Rights and Its Contested Legal Paradigm

This article examines the philosophical foundation of the tension between two contested legal paradigms, namely the Sociological Jurisprudence and Historical School of Jurisprudence, and how the contestation affects human rights discourse in Indonesia. Sociological jurisprudence perceives law as a tool of social engineering, while the Historical School of Jurisprudence argues that the development of law is a subconscious and organic process. Such contested legal paradigms are relevant to the case of “kawin tangkap” or bride kidnapping in Sumba, East Nusa Tenggara Indonesia. This is certainly problematic from the human rights perspective, as it is contradictory to the protection of women and children. However, like in some other traditions, the practice has been continuously preserved in local communities. The article employs legal anthropology research methods to delve into the symbols and meanings embedded within the customary laws obeyed by local communities. Additionally, this research utilizes legal philosophy methodologies to scrutinize paradigmatic disputes among schools of thought and how these disputes affect the rights of women. The study also investigates variances in perspectives concerning customary law, state law, and human rights, particularly in the context of examining the tradition of captive bride kidnapping. The challenge lies in how human rights can be employed to foster a gradual shift away from deeply ingrained patriarchal cultural norms and practices, with the aim of enhancing the protection of women’s and children’s rights, all while preserving customary laws and the harmony of local communities. This article endeavors to address this challenge by advocating for effective communication strategies that encourage local communities to embrace human rights principles and abide by the law, driven by rational awareness. The findings from this research conscientiously raise awareness about human rights within local communities through effective legal communication, without disrupting the existing local order.

The Dynamics of Sufism Based on Plural Indonesian Society: A Study of the Socio-Academic Role of KH. Nur Salim in Malang, East Java

In the late twentieth century, he witnessed a significant shift in Islamic discourse in Indonesia, particularly with the rise of egalitarianism and the indigenization of Islam. Against this backdrop, this study investigates KH. Nur Salim's pivotal role in adapting Sufism to a pluralistic society in Malang, East Java. It aims to explore how his down-to-earth approach effectively integrated spiritual values with social life, fostering a form of Sufism that suits the needs of modern society. Using qualitative phenomenological methods, the research captured the lived experiences and perceptions of the community regarding KH Nur Salim in his socio-academic role. Data was collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document analysis to understand the phenomenon comprehensively. The findings show that KH. Nur Salim, centered on four pillars- patience, humility, acceptance, and generosity- not only advances individual spirituality but also strengthens social cohesion in a diverse society. This approach is in line with theories that emphasize contextual adaptation of religious teachings, contributing to the discourse on the role of religion in promoting pluralism and tolerance. However, the study acknowledges limitations related to geographical coverage and methodological challenges, which may impact the generalizability of the findings. These insights have implications for the broader application of Sufism in pluralistic contexts globally.

Characteristics of Plural Phrase Formation in Al-Mu'jam Al-Şagīr Lijumū' Al-Taksīr Dictionary and Their Absorption in Learning Arabic at a Language Course

This study aims to analyze the characteristics of the formation of plural phrases in the irregular plural noun dictionary Al-Mu'jam al-Şagīr lijumū' al-Taksīr by M. Muslikhin and identify their absorption patterns for learning Arabic at the Al-Azhar Language Course Institute, Pare Kediri. This qualitative research was done with two approaches: library research and case studies. Data sources were obtained from the dictionary and Arabic language course activities at the Al-Azhar Pare Kediri Language Course Institute. Data collection techniques were conducted by documentation and observation, and data analysis techniques were done by using data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion. The results showed that the compilation of the irregular plural noun dictionary of Al-Mu'jam al-Şagīr lijumū' al-Taksīr by M. Muslikhin has positive-pragmatic value in the development of Arabic lexicography and learning Arabic in Indonesia. Dictionaries that form particular phrases into plural phrases follow the pattern of wazan jam'u al-qillah wa jam'u al-kaṣrah. Some muṣṭalaḥāt in the dictionary is formed constructively (musytaq) and permanently (jāmid). Dictionaries are arranged in alphabetical order and are thematic. It is very appropriate to help with Arabic language course activities with various programs available at LKB Al-Azhar Pare Kediri and external institutions. The theoretical implication of this research is to develop Arabic lexicographic discourse in Indonesia. Meanwhile, the practical implication is to make it easier to search for Shighat Jama' Taksir on verbs in the dictionary.

Halal Discourse in Indonesia: Politicization of al-Qur'an-Hadith Interpretation and Business Strategy

<p><span lang="EN-US">This article shows how business people and consumers understand and practice the <em>halal</em> concept. The concept of <em>halal</em>, understood only based on the narrative of the Qur’an and hadith, turns out to be more complex at the practical level because it involves market behavior and contains elements of religious politicization. Using a living tradition approach, this qualitative research reveals the reciprocal relationship between religious texts and community practices, social context, and performative actions by <em>halal</em> business actors in the districts of Semarang and Salatiga City, Indonesia. The results show that 1) halal business behaviors are a form of embodiment of Muslim business people's interpretation of the essence of the teachings of the Qur’an and hadith, which are understood textually on business platforms. 2) This <em>halal</em> business movement emerged as a response to (a) global market trends which are starting to target consumers who are experiencing increased religiosity and spirituality, (b) modern capitalism, which is starting to touch religious areas, starting from production, business systems, to marketing, and 3) political developments global economy that makes <em>halal</em> a business commodity. Thus, the theoretical contribution of this paper is that the concept of <em>halal</em> cannot be defined only based on the interpretation of the Qur’an or the interpretation of hadith but is closely related to traditional practices in the field, which involve market behavior and trade politics.</span></p><p><span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></p><p><span lang="EN-US"><strong><span lang="EN-US">Diskursus Halal di Indonesia: Politisasi Tafsir al-Qur'an-Hadis dan Strategi Bisnis. </span></strong><span lang="EN-US">Tulisan ini menunjukkan bagaimana konsep halal itu dipahami dan dipraktikkan oleh para pelaku bisnis dan konsumen. Konsep halal yang selama ini dipahami hanya berdasarkan narasi al-Qur’an dan hadis, ternyata konsep tersebut lebih kompleks dalam tataran praktiknya, karena melibatkan perilaku pasar serta mengandung unsur politisasi agama. Dengan pendekatan <em>living tradition, </em>penelitian kualitatif ini mengungkap hubungan resiprokal antara teks agama dengan praktik Masyarakat, konteks sosial serta tindakan performatif yang dilakukan oleh para pelaku bisnis halal di Kab. Semarang dan Kota Salatiga Indonesia. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa perilaku bisnis halal adalah bentuk pengejawantahan dari penafsiran para pebisnis Muslim atas intisari ajaran al-Qur’an dan hadis yang dipahami secara tekstual dalam platform bisnis. Gerakan bisnis halal ini bangkit sebagai respon atas: a) trend pasar global yang mulai membidik konsumen yang mengalami peningkatan religiusitas dan spiritualitasnya, b) kapitalisme modern yang mulai menyentuh wilayah religious, mulai dari produksi, sistem bisnis, hingga pemasarannya, dan 3) perkembangan politik ekonomi global yang menjadikan halal sebagai komoditas bisnis. Dengan demikian, kontribusi teoretik tulisan ini adalah bahwa konsep halal tidak bisa didefinisikan hanya berdasarkan penafsiran al-Qur’an maupun interpretasi hadis, namun erat kaitannya dengan praktik tradisi di lapangan yang melibatkan perilaku pasar dan politik dagang.</span></span></p>

Zaini Dahlan’s Feminism Ideology in Quranic Translation

In 1997, the Islamic University of Indonesia (UII) Yogyakarta published Qur’an Karim dan Terjemahan Artinya (QKTA). This translation significantly differs from the official version of the Ministry of Religious Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia and contemporary translations. Emerging during Indonesia's transition from the New Order to Reformation, QKTA played an important role, which motivates this study using Teun A. van Dijk's critical discourse analysis. This research investigates QKTA's position amidst the growing feminist discourse in Indonesia. This article specifically examines its impact on the verses translated: QS. al-Baqarah [2]: 228, QS. al-Nisā' [4]: 1, and 34, and QS. al-Nabā' [78]: 33. These verses were chosen because feminist interpreters often criticize them for their patriarchal perspective. These verses show QKTA's partiality to the feminist point of view. The findings of this article state that the social context and cognition of the translator influence the translation. This can be seen from the translations that apply a lot of linguistic rhetoric, such as majāz, kināyah, and euphemism.

The Relationship of Islam and The State in Contemporary Islamic Political Discourse in Indonesia

The purpose of this study was to relate the views in the context of Islamic politics in Indonesia, this article is intended to explore issues relating to relations between Islam and the state. This study was motivated by the desire to criticize the development and relationship between Islam and the state which is very dynamically coloring the political situation in “Islamic majority country” Indonesia. This article concludes that understanding the relationship between religion and state with an Islamic political approach is not meant to establish a religious state or an Islamic state of Indonesia but rather to fill the spaces that are functionally religion in order society, nation, and state., and secularistic relations.

Hijab Discourse in Indonesia: Unraveling the Narratives of Freedom, Religion, and Media Representation

This study delves into the intricate narratives surrounding the hijab in Indonesia, exploring the multifaceted perspectives presented by Deutsche Welle (DW) Indonesia, a transnational media entity. In the context of Indonesia, a nation characterized by religious diversity, the hijab has become a focal point of discussions, particularly concerning its compulsory nature and its implications for women's freedom and religious identity. The study critically analyzes DW's portrayal of hijab-wearing Indonesian Muslim women, highlighting the interplay between media representations, cultural identities, and societal perceptions. Employing Sara Mills' critical discourse analysis, the research examines the subject-object positions within DW's coverage, unraveling the complexities of hijab discourse. Through the examination of DW Indonesia's coverage, the study reveals diverse perspectives, emphasizing the non-compulsory nature of hijab, the potential limitations it imposes on women, and the societal pressures associated with wearing it. However, the research underscores the need for a cautious interpretation of these narratives, recognizing the inherent complexities of individual choices, sociocultural backgrounds, and religious beliefs. The study also addresses the influence of global perceptions and Western biases, urging a critical approach to media representations. The research not only contributes to the scholarly discourse on media representations but also critically examines the intersection between religion, freedom, and media influence in contemporary Indonesian society.

Hijab Discourse in Indonesia: The Battle of Meaning Between Sharia and Culture in Public Space

The phenomenon of wearing hijab is not only a reality in Indonesia but also in the Muslim world and even the world in general such as Europe, America, and Australia. This paper aims to examine the discourse on hijab between Islamic law (sharia) and culture. This is a normative study using legal pluralism as an approach. This paper concludes that Indonesia has the largest Muslim population in the world, and the wearing of hijab has a long history until contemporary times. Currently, the phenomenon of hijra among Muslims is also on the rise, the hijab is then formalized into educational institutions and offices which not a few cause problems that sometimes arise discriminatory actions to those who do not want to use it. Another phenomenon about the use of hijab occurs in the realm of law. A woman dealing with legal issues, when presented at a press conference, some public figures wear hijab. Even in the judicial room, women who usually do not wear headscarves also change their appearance by wearing headscarves. Likewise, in a political campaign, women who usually do not wear headscarves, appear in hijab suits in public. Of these various phenomena, the hijab as a marker symbol has meaning, namely as a form of religious obedience, the identity of a Muslim woman, discipline in public spaces, and camouflage piety. From the perspective of legal pluralism, hijab is an articulation of strictness to the commandments of sharia as well as an inseparable part of the culture that has become a living practice in Indonesian society.

The Vision of Islam and Nationality of Islamic Religious Organizations in Indonesia: Study of Nahdlatul Wathan, Al-Irsyad and Al-Washliyyah

Purpose: This article elaborates the Islamic vision and nationality of Islamic organizations in Indonesia, particularly Hahdhatul Wathan, Al-Irsyad and Al-Wasliyyah.
 
 Theoretical framework: In the context above, this research will be designed and carried out, namely conducting an exploration of the Islamic vision and nationality of three Islamic organizations in Indonesia, namely: al-Washliyah, al-Irsyad, and Nahdhatul Wathan.
 
 Design/methodology/approach: The research uses descriptive-qualitative methods, and is included in field research. In obtaining the data, the instruments that the researcher used were in-depth interviews, observations, and studies of related documents.
 
 Findings: From the research conducted, it can be seen that First, Nahdlatul Wathan is one of the Islamic organizations that has a very nationalist vision and perspective of nationalism. However, the nationalism (wathaniyah) of Nahdlatul Wathan does not necessarily follow the trend developed by secular Western-European countries.
 
 Research, Practical & Social implications: In many ways, Nahdlatul Wathan's national and Islamic vision is very similar to that of Nahdlatul Ulama. Both of them accepted Pancasila as the principle of organization, believed in Ahlussunnah wal Jama'ah, and highly valued Islamic culture as a link in the chain of Islamic scholarship.
 
 Originality/value: This research contributes to the development of Islamic discourse in Indonesia. The nationalism that Nahdlatul Wathan guides is Religious-Nationalism, namely nationalism that does not come out of religious principles and teachings, nationalism that is built on religious values, and nationalism that synergizes with religion because it is part of religious teachings.

Kitab kuning’s existence in the history of Islamic education and its relevance to modern Islamic society in Aceh

This study aims to explain the role of kitab kuning (classic Islamic books) in the treasures of Islamic religious education in Indonesia, so that it can be seen as one of the many influential aspects in the formation of educational discourse in Indonesia. It is carried out in a qualitative descriptive method that is directed to see the scientific discourse of Islamic education and the history of education. Data collections were carried out through literature studies employing historical approach to understand the historical context, changes, or evolution of thoughts or concepts as well as a comparative observation. The data obtained formed an analysis of traditional education discourse, its relevance in history and how the position of kitab kuning in modern education these days. The result of study shows that modern Islamic education today seems unable to abandon kitab kuning as a basic methodology in understanding Islam. There is a phenomenon of increasingly inclusive study of the new format of digitized kitab kuning, not only in pesantren but also in universities. This leads to the synthesis that kitab kuning is potential to be a general learning particularly with the increasingly open dissemination of Islamic literacy. The results of the present study are expected to be able to contribute to the education and teaching system.

Against the ‘Control Argument’: Assessing the State’s Authority in the State-Commissioned Qur’ān Translation

Indonesia is one of a few countries that has an official Qur’ān translation, namely Al-Qur’an dan Terjemahnya (QT). As a country that has always been preoccupied with issues of religious regulation, there is a general consensus among the current scholarship on QT, namely that QT is the state's instrument for creating a standardized Islamic discourse in Indonesia. My paper questions this argument through an analysis of three interpretive cases in QT: the creation verse (Q 4:1), akābīra mujrimīhā in Q 6:123, and awliyāʾ in Q 5:51, focusing on the extent to which the interpretive outcome of QT is closely controlled by the state. In contrast to the 'control argument,' this study demonstrates that the renderings of QT in these three cases reflect the state's lack of involvement in the actual translation process. Despite the fact that QT is a state-commissioned and authorized Qur’ān translation, the ulama continue to be the masters of QT interpretive authority. While the entire process of producing QT may imply the obvious presence of the state, when we consider the genealogical nature of tafsīr, the religious authority of QT returns to the ulama rather than the state.

URBAN MUSLIMS IN HIGHER EDUCATION: CAMPUS DA’WAH ACTIVISTS’ MASTER NARRATIVES ON POLYGAMY VIEWS

This research will examines the polygamy narratives of Campus Da'wah Activists during the rise of polygamy discourse in Indonesia. Campus Da'wah activists are part of the urban Muslims who have intellectual and social duties to preach religion within the scope of the campus level. This research is field research with the object of research being Campus Da'wah Activists on three major campuses in Yogyakarta, the research uses Master Narrative theory as a dissection of the narrative used. The findings in the study show that there are three groups of views on polygamy, namely pro-polygamy, conditional pro-polygamy, and counter-polygamy, while the main narratives that develop, the pro-polygamy group views the inequality of the ratio of men and women as unbalanced, the conditional pro-polygamy group emulates the story of Siti Sarah who is willing to be polygamous in an emergency, while the counter-polygamy group makes the love story of the Prophet Muhammad with Siti Khadijah which teaches marital fidelity. This research is expected to contribute to the narrative that is developing in the community towards polygamy, which is not only based on lust but also the guidance of Shari'a.

The Harmony of Islam and Pancasila in Religious Discourse in Indonesia

Indonesia is a country with a majority of its population practicing Islam, but it does not claim itself as an Islamic state. The presence of Pancasila as a melting pot has led to the emergence of a highly elegant Civil Society in this nation. Islam and Pancasila, in principle, are aligned and harmonious within the context of Indonesian democracy. The purpose of this research focuses on the harmonization of Islam and Pancasila in the study of religious moderation in Indonesia. The study employs a qualitative approach through a literature review and field studies involving observations and documentation. The research findings explain that religion and Pancasila are in alignment, with religion serving as a way of life for its followers, while Pancasila represents the way of life for the religiously diverse Indonesian nation. In the literature on religious moderation in Indonesia, religion must provide enlightenment to its adherents so that they can accept and appreciate the noble values of Pancasila. Conversely, the existence of Pancasila must also protect all religious communities, including those who do not adhere to any religion or hold different beliefs. This is why the actualization of religious moderation in society has become a distinctive characteristic of Indonesia, both socially and religiously.
