In the 2020 regional elections, North Maluku had a female regional head for the first time, namely in the Sula Islands Regency. This research seeks to explore the involvement of women as contestants in the regional elections in North Maluku as regional head candidates. Qualitative research methods were used in this research with a case study approach. Data was collected by documentation, namely by looking at the distribution of news reports by local media and supported by other documents such as documents from the KPU and the Constitutional Court. The data set was analyzed using NVivo 12 plus, to see the dominant tendencies and to draw conclusions. The research results show that North Maluku has only had four women run as regional head candidates after being expanded in 1999 and then implementing direct regional elections for the first time in 2005 until the 2020 regional elections. The three main factors behind these candidates' participation are kinship politics, political experience, and political dynasty. Of the four candidates, only Fifian could emerge as elected regional head, and Fifian could utilize his accumulated capital to convert it into victory. The accumulation of modalities, such as social capital, political capital, economic capital, cultural capital, and symbolic capital, mostly comes from the base of the political dynasty built by the Mus family.

Gendering Late Medieval Habsburg Dynastic Politics: Maximilian I and His Social Networks

Abstract While gender history has developed into a powerful branch of premodern history, we still know little about gender relations around Maximilian I. One reason is that research concentrated for a long time on the individual personality of the emperor without paying much attention to the manifold relations among men and women that in fact contributed to establishing his rule. Another reason is the specific constellations of Maximilian's relationships with his wives Mary of Burgundy and Bianca Maria Sforza, with his daughter Margaret of Austria and grand-daughter Mary of Hungary, which have been mostly discussed in the framework of their personal courts and regional politics and less in a wider comparative perspective. Against the backdrop of recent approaches to dynastic politics, role models, and agency, I will, first, discuss the gendered dimensions of Maximilian's dynastic politics in their wider geo-political and socio-cultural context. I will, second, move beyond a focus on key dynastic actors to take into account personal networks as fundamental for any type of premodern rule. Following court ladies and female servants and the social networks they were part of I will outline the interrelations between social ascent, office, and the politics of kinship and gender at court.

Background, Recruitment, and Perceived Factors for Winning: A Qualitative Inquiry into the Perspectives of Local Women Politicians (LWPs) in Northern Mindanao, Philippines

Despite being globally acknowledged as one of the more gender-equal societies, the Philippines faces persistent challenges in achieving gender parity, especially in political representation, which necessitates a deeper investigation into women's political participation at the local level. This study delves into the nuanced dynamics of local women politicians (LWPs), examining their political background, recruitment into politics, and perceived factors for electoral success. Utilizing a phenomenological research design, the study aims to articulate and comprehend the essence of LWPs' lived experiences. Grounded in Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA), the methodological framework facilitates a nuanced understanding of individual and societal realms. Six LWPs from Bukidnon, Northern Mindanao, participated in the study to comprehensively explore commonalities and distinctions in their political experiences. The findings revealed five themes of LWPs' political background: apolitical origins, entry into politics during young adulthood, involvement in philanthropy, membership in political families, and substantial political experience. The political recruitment of LWPs is revealed through the support of the church and the influence of political families. Additionally, LWPs' perceived factors for winning in electoral politics encompass three key themes: membership in a political family, philanthropic endeavors, and the prevalence of money politics. The lived experiences of LWPs resonate with prior research on "kinship politics" in the Philippines, illustrating how political power is bequeathed, inherited, and cycled within prominent political clans. This study contributes to the ongoing discourse on women's political participation by offering a comprehensive and nuanced exploration of the multifaceted factors influencing their engagement in local politics.

The correlation between the architectural and cultural origins of the academies and the ancestral halls in Guangdong, China, from the perspective of kinship politics

ABSTRACT The cultural formation of the academy and ancestral hall buildings in Guangdong have similarities and are closely related to the influence of the patriarchal system. Taking kinship politics as a perspective, this paper draws out the relevant factors affecting the cultural formation of the academy and ancestral hall architecture through literature analysis, and then interprets the influence of social variables (economic, political, and cultural) on the development of the two from the historical dimension of the time series, revealing the convergence of the two in their historical evolution. The study reveals that 1) political drive constitutes a major vein in the formation of the architectural culture of the academy and ancestral hall, as reflected in the continuation and development of kinship politics attributes; 2) the geographical distribution of the two is similar; 3) the social attributes and functional transformations of the two are coupled in the historical process. To summarize, the cultural formation of the academy and ancestral hall buildings is a continuation of the early patrimonial system and has an interdependent relationship. The ancient Chinese bureaucratic system was hereditary, which made the patriarchal system class-based; the ancestral hall was a continuation of the earlier tomb ritual system, while the cultural formation of the academy can be said to be a development of the patriarchal system, and both can be considered to be a tool for the consolidation of power to a certain extent.

KINSHIP POLITICS IN ELECTORAL POLITICS: A CASE FROM BAUBAU CITY

This research aims to describe and analyze the kinship politics of the Buton community with its patrimonial culture in maintaining political power in Baubau City. The phenomenon of kinship politics in maintaining political power in Baubau City is seen based on the dimensions of mutual agreement and satisfying kin obligations.

Queering the Enlightenment: Kinship and Gender in Eighteenth-Century French Literature by Tracy L. Rutler

Reviewed by: Queering the Enlightenment: Kinship and Gender in Eighteenth-Century French Literature by Tracy L. Rutler Antoinette Sol Tracy L. Rutler. Queering the Enlightenment: Kinship and Gender in Eighteenth-Century French Literature. Liverpool: Liverpool University Press, coll. Oxford University Studies in the Enlightenment, 2021. Pp. xxi + 291. Price $99.99. In Queering the Enlightenment, Tracy Rutler examines the "ailing state of the patriarchy" in novels and plays during the 1730s and 1740s by analyzing alternative systems of filiation and kinship played out in the narratives. These alternative systems reflect contemporary anxiety about the state of the monarchy and challenge the patriarchy. Combining psychoanalysis and structuralism with political theory, Rutler offers a different way to read canonical eighteenth-century texts by focusing on narrative substitutions for heteronormative familial relations. The interpretations of the texts are not necessarily new ones, but the journey to get to them is. By "reading queerly" new significations are teased out. Reading queerly means "seizing [the] disjunctions between the part (the subject) and the whole (the Order) by paying particular attention to the fruitful fracture between and within narration and language" (21). Rutler shows how Voltaire, Prévost, Crébillon fils, Marivaux, and Graffigny offer new paradigms of subjectivity and re-vision social organization by taking familiar heteronormative relations and rendering them unfamiliar. Importantly, Rutler shows how relevant the creation of alternative intimate communities in eighteenth-century texts is to our time. The introduction ably reviews the political and social situation in the wake of the death of Louis XIV and the theoretical framework that grounds Rutler's reading. Chapter one, "Towards [End Page 178] a Queer Politics of Kinship," finds value in a reconfigured familial space in Voltaire's Candide as a "thrown-together community of […] misfits "built upon a politics of collective action" (40), one that frustrates genre expectations and challenges the notion of family not organized around heterosexual reproduction. In the second chapter, "Oedipus interrupted: Prévost's Regime of the Brother," asks what difference the absence of women characters makes in the transfer of masculine power and in circuits of male desire. In chapter three, "Wandering Souls: The World of Cré-billon, fils" Rutler applies notions of "cruising" to the work of Crébillon fils and discusses how his characters refuse the "forward motion through time implied by heterosexual marriage and its goal of reproduction" (153) and where cruising "creates an astonishing egalitarian form of human and (nonhuman) relationality" (162). If the previous chapters explored formations of masculine subjectivity and circulation of desire, chapter four, "Origin Stories: Maternal Enlightenment in Marivaux," looks at the very different female subject formation through a compelling discussion of the maternal symbolic. Rutler reads Marivaux's La vie de Marianne and three of his plays as an exploration of various permutations and failures of the family romance. Reading for "political construction of female subjectivity" (184) reveals freely chosen and created female alternatives to the patriarchal traditional family. Chapter five, "Knotty Relations: Graffigny's Regime of the Sister," continues the discussion of female subjectivity and calls for a reevaluation of Graffigny's legacy. Rutler concludes her study by emphasizing that the texts studied "attempt to represent the emergence of alternative kinship structures […] characterized by forms of relation that exceed and undermine both patriarchy and heteronormativity" (272). This study is a fascinating and valuable contribution to the field. [End Page 179] Antoinette Sol University of Texas at Arlington Copyright © 2023 L'Esprit Créateur

Tribalisme, Oligarki Kekuasaan dan Dinamika Politik Kekerabatan Dalam Jaringan Pondok Pesantren

Religious elites have an important role in the democratic system in Indonesia. The involvement of chairmen of Islamic boarding schools (pondok pesantren) in local elections in the context of local dynamics has spawned a network of oligarchic power and dynastic politics. There is an assumption that the participation of the elite of Islamic boarding schools in local politics is considered to be inevitable to the democratic process with the spread of corruption cases, and political nepotism. Actors in dynastic politics use famous figures from the pesantren’s family as a political tool to gain power. Power relations and patron-client relationships in Islamic boarding schools provide great benefits to ensure a candidate is elected in a local election. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the relation between power, oligarchy, and the politics of kinship of the elite boarding school in the dynamics of local politics. This article shows that dynastic politics undermined the pillars of Indonesian democracy. Factors that cause oligarchy in pondok pesantren are populism, power network, and tribalism. These factors are inseparable from the influence of patronage, the power of local elites, and the effort of the elite to build dynastic politics. This article suggests that religious elites within the circle of political dynasties are expected to work professionally, not merely using the pesantren family.

Kinship Politics in Indonesia: Developments and Implications

Kinship politics has become an old topic of discussion in all countries that adhere to democracy, even for a democratic example country like America. The phenomenon of kinship politics is also inseparable from democracy in Indonesia. The rise of kinship politics is reflected in the implementation of the 2020 Regional Head Elections. This has caused concern from various groups, from the general public to democracy experts. They assume that the practice of kinship politics will harm political developments in Indonesia. Based on this phenomenon, this article aims to review kinship politics in the 2020 Regional Head Elections. The review covers implementing kinship politics, the reasons for the widespread practice of kinship politics in Indonesia, and its implications for governance practices in Indonesia. The methodology used is the method of literature study or literature review. Based on the findings, kinship politics in Indonesia occurs in almost all regions in Indonesia and strengthens in the 2020 Regional Head Elections. This happens because of the pattern of patron-client. Furthermore, negative implications are found in a patronage network that leads to cases of KKN-the Indonesian acronym for corruption, collusion, and nepotism, the destruction of local democracy, and moral hazard problems. The alternative used is political party reform, where the party applies a transparent and merit-based mechanism for regeneration.

Regional Head Election 2020: The Pause of Kinship Politics in the South Minahasa District

Kinship politics may be a way to preserve the power of the elites through elections. With the strong support of kinship politics from the local political elite, the candidate for the South Minahasa district head, Michaela Paruntu, had a very high chance of winning the 2020 regional election in the South Minahasa District. But the reality was different. The popularity gained from the influence of the previous district head, a close relative of the candidate, and the support of the ruling party in the South Minahasa District were ineffective in generating public support for the candidate. This study analyzed the factors that caused the ineffectiveness of the kinship politics in the South Minahasa District. This phenomenon was interesting to study since previous studies on kinship politics presented empirical evidence that candidates who have a kinship with the authorities or elites have a better opportunity to win an election. This study used a qualitative method with a case study approach. The result of the study showed that the community's perception of kinship politics in the South Minahasa District influenced people's political choices in the 2020 Regional Head Election (Pilkada).

The Problems of Kinship Politics and the Challenges of Achieving the Ultimate Goal of Regional Autonomy

The presence of the phenomenon of kinship politics in the 2020 Simultaneous Regional Head Elections triggers a controversy that revolves around its implementation. The existence of kinship politics is feared to have an impact on efforts to achieve the ultimate goal of regional autonomy, namely public’s welfare and a dignified quality of life. The purpose of this research is to map the potential problems and identify the challenges of achieving the ultimate goal of regional autonomy. This research uses a literature study as an analytical tool to answer the objectives of the study. Discussions about kinship politics in Indonesia present a perceptual dichotomy, where on the one hand this is not a problem when the local leadership of kinship politics is able to bring prosperity together. However, on the other hand, this can become a problem when political actors abuse power that perpetuates the strengthening of the oligarchy and ignores the original goal of decentralization, namely, to bring prosperity and a dignified quality of life. Candidates who are affiliated with kinship politics face a fairly formidable challenge, namely, to strengthen regional competitiveness in a sustainable manner based on the principle of transparency in order to maintain public trust during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Women and Kinship Politics in the 2020 Regional Head Elections in Central Java

The study used quantitative approach with questionnaires and literature review. The results were processed using SmartPLS 3.0 software with four independent variable: network strength, position in the party, unequal democracy, and capital. The study showed that only two independent variables influenced the occurrence of kinship politics: network strength and capital. This led to talks about the community on political issues, President Jokowi, and changed his leadership image, from previously seen as a president that does not involve families in political matters.
