The Development of Qur’anic Thematic Exegesis in Indonesia: Historical Landscape and Shifts of Authority

Recognizing that thematic Qur'anic interpretation has become the most prominent method in the modern era, this study aims to track its evolution in Indonesia. Despite its popularity in academic contexts, there remains a critical gap in examining its application outside of universities. This study focuses on the shifts in interpretative authority and methodology in thematic Qur'anic exegesis across different sectors, including the state, Islamic boarding schools, universities, and individuals. Using a critical analysis method, the study uncovers several key findings. Firstly, there has been an authoritative shift, where Qur'anic commentators in Indonesia are not limited to traditional mufassir but now include scholars from non-religious fields. Secondly, methodological shifts are evident in several aspects: the editorial framing of interpretations, the reduction in the selection of Qur'anic verses used as primary research data, and the emergence of distinct interpretative tendencies. Additionally, there has been a paradigm shift in the relationship between Qur'anic text and social reality, where one approach begins with the Qur'an and leads to an idealistic-normative interpretation, while another starts from social reality and results in an applicative-solutive interpretation. This research fills a crucial academic gap by highlighting the broader changes in thematic exegesis, offering insights into its evolving methodologies and its relevance in addressing contemporary social realities in Indonesia.

No Calm After the Storm. A Decade of "The Tempest" in Polish Theatres (2012–2021)

The article discusses twelve productions based on The Tempest shown in Polish theatres in the years 2012-21, a decade whose challenges included escalation of the migration crisis, increasing climate change, social and political unrest around much of the globe, and the covid pandemic, but which was also marked by important Shakespearean anniversaries. In order to inspect the play’s significance for contemporary Polish audiences the productions are scrutinised in relation to four categories of interrelated issues: modification of characters, depiction of suspended reality connected with sleep, dreaming, memory and recollection, references to current social and political challenges, and employment of the play’s meta-artistic potential. The productions’ interpretative tendencies reveal a number of common denominators which are analysed with an aim of explaining why, in today’s Poland, the possibility of reconciliation and return to some form of re-established order that the playwright contemplates is seen as very difficult, if not impossible.

Homo bucovinensis - încercare de dezanbiguizare

The terms Bukovina, “bukovinism” and “homo bucovinensis” have spread virally in historical narratives and historiographical writings. They generate controversy in current historiography. Interpretive tendencies vary between idealization and stigmatization. The concept of “homo bucovinensis” has been and is being used by many writers as a categorical notion. The idea that “homo bucovinensis” is a regional species of the “homo habsburgensis” genus or an ideology used to implement denationalization policies is simplistic, outdated, and does not take into account the dynamics of the evolution of this identity model after World War I. To attenuate the effects of the generative factors of subjectivity – which we have called “bukovinology” and “bukovinalergy” – whose imprint is present in almost everything that has been written about “homo bucovinensis” – it is necessary to disambiguate the concept. The study also contains a very probable hypothesis regarding the creator of the Latin name “homo bucovinensis”. Ion Nistor is the one who first used the name “homo bucovinensis” in a printed publication. He created this name by analogy with names in biological anthropology and used it in a pejorative sense. Hans Prelitsch transferred this name to philosophical anthropology, giving it a very prestigious and well (although not universally) disseminated reputation. Both in Nistor and Prelitsch, “homo bucovinensis” is nothing but a metaphor. However, “homo bucovinensis” did exist in reality.

Media Framing of QS. al-Nisā’ [4]: 34 by @quranreview on Instagram: Glorifying Women Tendencies in Interpretation

This study examines @quranreview's interpretation of Qur'anic verse QS. al-Nisā' [4]: 34 on social media, focusing on the words used to convey meaning. Interpreting the Qur'an on social media is often simple and direct, as it involves exploring the meaning of verses through individual comments. However, this approach needs to improve in that it can sometimes overlook the central message of the verse due to its focus on individual words. Discovering the tendency of word choice in interpreting the Qur'an contributes to developing interpretation in social media. Through a qualitative analysis using critical discourse analysis by Teun A. van Dijk, we found that @quranreview deliberately chooses representative words to challenge the traditional interpretation of the verse, which can be discriminatory towards women. The study highlights the importance of careful word choice in interpreting the Qur'an on social media, especially when dealing with sensitive and controversial topics. It also suggests that @quranreview's tendency to glorify women in its interpretation can contribute to a broader and more nuanced understanding of the text.

Methodology of Kitab Al-Jami' Interpretation of the Qur'an by Abdullah Bin Wahb Al-Mishri

This article attempts to examine the methodology of interpretation in the classic commentary text by Abdullah bin Wahb al-Mishri, namely the book al-Jami' Tafsir al-Qur'an. This is motivated by the existence of a study of ancient manuscripts attributed to Ibn Wahb through transmission. The object of study is al-Jami' Tafsir al-Qur'an by Abdullah bin Wahb al-Mishri which is the result of research (tahqiq and ta'liq) from Miklos Muranyi in 1939. By using a qualitative-descriptive method, this article concludes that: the method used by Abdullah bin Wahb al-Miṣrī can be viewed from 4 points of view; sources of interpretation using bi al-ra'yī, the breadth of explanation uses ijmālī, the goals and systematics use mauḍū'ī and the tendency of interpretation uses bi al-riwāyah. These results indicate that the book of commentaries does not only use a single method in its preparation so that al-Miṣrī makes his book an answer that the compilation of the book of interpretations of the Qur'an is not single, but mono-method, or in methodological terms using comparisons.

Sion sebagai Pusat Kerajaan (tidak) Damai: Membaca Yesaya 2:1-4 dari Konteks Indonesia

Various interpretive tendencies towards the text of Isaiah 2:1-4 that exist today emphasize the physical and eschatological aspects of Israel's restoration. Efforts to realize the prophecy in Israel have contributed to the rise of radicalism in Indonesia. This paper aims to answer several questions in the text read from the Indonesian context, namely: what is the relevance of rebuilding the Temple? What is the truth of God's word? And is Jerusalem really the center of peace? This research was conducted with an exegesis approach and library research. The results of exegesis are critically reciprocally dialogued with the Indonesian context using related literature studies. The results of the analysis show the relationship between rebuilding the temple of God and building churches in Indonesia, the validity of the truth of God's word in Indonesia is based on pragmatic proof of the truth, and Indonesia as a Center for Peace . The findings of this study encourage action plans, among others; intensify inter-religious dialogue starting from the level of religious figures to the lower level of the community and encourage moderate religious life. It needs the openness of various parties in the development of the study of Bible interpretation as well as adjustments to various methods of interpretation that continue to develop, as well as seeking practical forms of Indonesia's involvement in creating world peace.

“Complicated Windings”: “Mont Blanc”

ABSTRACT “Mont Blanc” is a difficult and rewarding poem because its efforts to make sense of experience are paralleled by the challenges of interpretation which it affords the reader. Shelley’s confrontation with the Alpine landscape is shaded by ironies and counter-perspectives which frustrate any attempt to extract from the poem any stable vision of the mind’s relation with the external “universe of things.” “Mont Blanc” testifies to the power of the imagination through its very willingness to concede its weakness. The essay embarks on the apparently basic task of following the shifts in the poem’s argument over its five numbered sections. It shows how sentences warp and drift under the influence of continually evolving ideas and impressions and suggests, at least implicitly, that the poem’s force and depth owe to a subtlety of expression and imaginative flair which elude the generalizing tendency of critical interpretation.

Reading emotional faces in deaf and hard-of-hearing and typically hearing children.

Reading emotions from other people's facial expressions is an important skill that guides social interactions. With limited auditory input and atypical emotion socialization, deaf and hard-of-hearing (DHH) children may develop atypical processing patterns when reading emotional faces. The current study aimed at understanding whether and how DHH and typically hearing (TH) children differed at 3 emotion processing levels: gaze patterns, physiological arousal, and interpretation. Fifty-five DHH children and 72 TH children completed an emotional face matching task in which they were presented with happy, angry, fearful, and emotionally neutral faces. During the task participants' eye gazes and pupil diameter were measured by an eye-tracking device. The DHH and TH children both paid most attention to the eye region when reading emotional faces. Yet, a contrast between happy faces and nonhappy faces was observed in physiological arousal and interpretation tendency in the DHH children only: Nonhappy facial expressions were more arousing and were confused more often than happy expressions, which may reflect the DHH children being less experienced in processing nonhappy expressions due to limited access to the social environment. The results highlighted the importance of looking into the qualitative differences between typical and atypical development. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved).

On the Primitive Image and Root Seeking Consciousness in Root Seeking Novels

The ideological trend of root seeking literature is an influential literary movement in the mid-1980s, but the literary circles have always had different views on root seeking literature. There is no unified concept about the theoretical concepts of root seeking, such as "root", "culture", "tradition" and "fracture", which makes the root seeking novels have "many semantic fields" and the tendency of various cultural interpretation, especially the differences on "traditional culture" are very obvious. Therefore, it is particularly important to clarify the relationship between root seeking novels and traditional culture, so as to deeply grasp the cultural meaning of root seeking novels. It is worth noting that the traditional expression of root seeking writers is based on the connection with the contemporary humanistic environment, and conceives the original natural picture of all things with the help of traditional culture, showing the worship and admiration of the original nature, the direction of freedom and independence, and the romantic concept of survival and primitive consciousness. Based on the "primitive image" proposed by Zhao Peilin in the origin of Xing, this paper analyzes and explains the spiritual and mysterious image codes in the representative works of root seeking novels White Deer Plain, tree king and northern river, and probes into the traditional cultural concepts and root seeking consciousness transmitted by the three primitive images of "deer", "tree" and "River".

Karakteristik Ensiklopedi Al-Qur’an Dawam Raharjo

This paper elaborates on Dawam Raharjo's interpretational thoughts and works. Dawam Raharjo's research on the interpretation of the Qur'an is unique. Even Dawam offers a novel perspective on the variety of interpretations by proposing that the interpretation can be approached from a variety of scientific perspectives. Dawam offers a new perspective in the diversity of interpretations, that interpretations can be approached with various scientific backgrounds. There are two things that are the focus of this essay, namely how the character and form of Dawam Raharjo, and how the style, method and science of interpretation of Dawam Raharjo. This paper is a literary study, the focus is on the study of interpreters with a descriptive-analytical approach. The result is that Dawam Raharjo's interpretation uses the thematic method. His interpretation includes twenty-seven socio religious themes. According to him, the Qur'an has a social-societal dimension; consequently, its interpretation tends to be social based on this premise. In addition to emphasizing the social dimension of the interpretations, the themes of the interpretations also emphasize the themes of nationality and Indonesian-ness. The effort made by Dawam Raharjo to interpret the Qur'an is intriguing because the tendency of interpretation is identical to a comprehensive interpretation; Dawam provides a thematic interpretation with a real them

Patterns of Error in Interpretive Pathology.

To demonstrate how the educational presentation and targeted review of cases with discrepant interpretive findings between pathologists can raise awareness for specific diagnostic errors through identification of common overarching patterns of error in interpretive pathology. We performed a review of 147 surgical pathology and cytopathology cases of discordances from 23 PowerPoint presentations presented between 2010 and 2017. Pathologists and pathology residents, blinded from the official interpretations, were presented each case and surveyed for their own diagnostic assessments. Survey results were compared with the final/correct interpretations of the signing pathologists. Of the 134 cases with available survey results, there were 87 (64.9%) for which most survey respondents proposed a diagnostic interpretation concordant with the final/correct diagnosis. There were 37 (27.6%) cases for which most survey responses were either wholly or partially discordant with the final/correct diagnosis. For 10 (7.5%) cases, there were equal numbers of concordant and discordant survey responses. Our analyses of the cases with frequent erroneous diagnoses reveal common patterns of error that are widely applicable and outline specific error-prone interpretive tendencies. Greater awareness for these tendencies, highlighted by presentation of discordant cases, can improve the quality of diagnostic pathology services.

For Visual Attention, are there any Tendencies in Form Interpretation?

We examined if there is any intrinsically "hard-wired" tendency in the subject's Visual Attention. When asked to spontaneously decide preferences for shape or grouping of shapes, distinct patterns of preference in human test subjects were found. These preferences were consistent among ages older than 20 years adulthood and both genders. These findings could result in broad practical applications ranging from interface designs to visual alerts.

Is Kant among the Prophets? Hebrew Prophecy and German Historical Thought, 1880–1920

AbstractThis article examines the interpretation of Hebrew prophecy by German Protestant scholars in the era of 1880–1920. It argues, first, that Old Testament interpreters valued the prophets since they presented God as the guiding force behind human history and, second, that these theologians cum philologians saw the prophetic conception of history as anticipating their own understanding of God in the world. The inquiry bases this argument on a reading of numerous exegetes, both leading lights and forgotten figures. Moreover, it traces this interpretative tendency across a range of sources, including specialist studies, theological monthlies, political and literary journals, popular works, public speeches, and pedagogical literature. Rather than leave the prophets in the past, these exegetes also ushered them into the present, employing their historical teachings to shore up the Christian faith. In doing so, they identified Hebrew prophecy with German Protestantism and in contrast to Judaism.

Die Richtlinie 2010/64/EU zum Dolmetschen und Übersetzen in Strafverfahren: Neues Qualitätssiegel oder verpasste Chance? Zur Umsetzung in Deutschland, Polen und Spanien

About ten years ago, the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union adopted Directive 2010/64/EU on the right to interpretation and translation in criminal proceedings. The Directive initially inspired high hopes, mainly because it explicitly addressed the issue of quality in interpretation and translation services. Its implementation in the EU Member States, however, has tended to be disheartening. Some even fear that current standards may be inferior to those that prevailed before the Directive was implemented. This article analyses the implementation of the Directive in Germany, Poland and Spain, and – taking the changes made to the relevant national legislation in 2013 (Germany and Poland) and 2015 (Spain) as a starting point – sheds light on early tendencies in the judicial interpretation of domestic law. It concludes that up to this day, neither Germany nor Poland nor Spain has fully complied with the Directive’s quality standards for interpretation services. With respect to translation – especially the translation of judgments – it concludes that a rather restrictive interpretation of the amended national laws appears to be taking root.
