The Robustness of Balinese Hindu Sacred Art in the Face of Hegel's Theory 'The Death of Art'

The integration of art as an integral part of the sacred rituals of Balinese Hindu worship to this day makes the discussion of Hegel's thoughts on art is interesting. This paper attempts to discuss Hegel's theory as confronted with the sacred Balinese Hindu art. The most basic reason for the death of art is that since romantic, art has lost its subject matter. The process of dematerialisation in art gave rise to Hegel's very famous adage; the death of art. Art loses subject matter because of the limited media to express the complexity of the Absolute Spirit. However, the sacredness of Balinese Hindu art has been deeply guarded by the Balinese people. Various concepts and classifications are made to maintain its sacredness, such as the concept of belief, the concept of sekala-niskala, the concept of tri hita karana,the concept of kala patra village, the concept of karmaphala, and the concept of taksu/jengah. There is also a classification of sacred and profane arts. It is made by Balinese Hindus to maintain the sacredness of art itself. Through the art of wali and bebalih, the Balinese Hindu art maintains its subject matter concerning the complexity of the Absolute Spirit, as suggested by Hegel. Based on library research, the paper argues that the unique concept of Balinese Hindu, which may represent the wealth of indigenous religions in Indonesia, concerning sacred art can maintain its uniqueness in the global discourse arena and be able to respond creatively to contemporary challenges.

PENGATURAN DAN PENERAPAN JAMINAN KEBEBASAN BERAGAMA SEBAGAI HAK ASASI MANUSIA DALAM PERSPEKTIF UUD 1945 SEBAGAI HUKUM DASAR NEGARA

The guarantee of human rights through the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia provides two meanings, first that the Indonesian Constitution contains the characteristics of a modern constitution, and secondly, it is the purpose of the state as a state of law (rechtstaat). This guarantee should be the basis for the protection of religious freedom which is one of human rights. However, the reality is that violations of religious freedom continue to increase, whether committed by individuals, groups, or the government. This thesis discusses Human Rights withthe understanding of Constitutionalism. The method used in this thesis is normative juridical. From the results of the analysis, one can conclude that even though freedom of religion is a human right that cannot be reduced under any circumstances. However, the Basic Law provides limitations in exercising religious freedom. In other words, that freedom of religion in Indonesia is not an absolute freedom. The guarantee of religious freedom is the responsibility of the state,especially the government as mandated by the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia through legislation. The mandate is implemented in Indonesia in the Human Rights Law, the Law on Child Protection, the Law on the National Education System, the Law on Population Administration, and the Law on the Elimination of Racial and Ethnic Discrimination

Bring back Terrorist into the Society: How Indonesia Deradicalize the Terrorist

Southeast Asia is home to one-third of the largest Muslim population in the world. About 87% of Indonesia's population is Muslim, making it the majority religion in Indonesia. In Indonesia Terrorism is a threat that everyone knows that the form of crime is very dangerous, not only in Indonesia but also in different countries. As an example of the Bali Bombing case in 2002 has become the most important lesson for Indonesia, not only concerning the investigation and investigation of terrorism cases, but also how the de-radicalization effort becomes an important part in fighting terrorism. Entering the reform era, radical ideology has more free space to threaten national security. The problem at this time is that the synergy between TNI-Polri-Sipil is still often troubled, whether it is directly related to operations or not. Preventing terrorism is more meaningful, compared to the ability to arrest terrorists who have carried out bombings that killed tens or hundreds of people. Then, anyone who needs to be involved in a de-radicalization program to prevent the loss of lives and wounds that are in vain.

TELAAH FENOMENA POLITISASI AGAMA DI INDONESIA LEWAT KONSEP ASGHAR ALI ENGINEER

The politics of religion in Indonesia has been growing since the Elections of Region Government in 2007. Anomaly is formed through this phenomenon. Instead of being utilized to promote a civilized community, religion is being exploited as a political instrument to manipulate the people. Asghar Ali Engineer's approach to social justice questioned this oddity. The true essence of religion, according to Engineer, is justice. Muslims should try to accomplish social class generalization in order to build a just society. Islam may be perceived not just spiritually, but also socially from this vantage point. Religion is not a strategy for obtaining and retaining power in Indonesian politics. Politics and religion are said to work together to produce a just and successful society. Religion and politics should be able to work together to solve societal issues. As a result, the existing meaning of the politicization of religion must be reconstructed in order for religion's role in politics to be accurate.

Religion in Indonesia's Elections: An Implementation of a Populist Strategy?

AbstractIn Indonesia's political strategic environment, Islamic narratives have been among the main narratives, but have not always been dominant. The 2014 presidential election displayed the beginning of a rising trend of Islamic narratives within the political context in Indonesia. Since then Islamic narratives influenced the strategy of Indonesia's populist leaders, as particularly seen during the 2017 Jakarta gubernatorial election and 2019 presidential election. This paper analyzes how populism as a strategy was used in recent Indonesian elections. For this purpose, it uses the conception of populism as a political strategy proposed by Weyland. Building on this approach, the paper explains the strategic adjustments made in the use of populism from 2014, 2017, and 2019 in Indonesian political events. It argues that the strategic environment faced by populist actors in Indonesia's 2019 election affected their decision to choose Islamic narratives as an instrument for mass mobilization.

Decolonization of the third gender in the contemporary Indonesia

One of the first words that is learned in Indonesian is waria. This word is made by combing word wanita which means woman and pria which means man. Warias are one of the most known and visible forms of third gender in Indonesia, this term marks trans-women who has their role in social life throughout Java island. Beside this one there, less visible and researched identity called priawan for trans-men. In the classical epic of Bugis people La Galigo, which is regarded as Memory of the World by UNESCO, there are five distinct genders: bissu, calabai, calalai, makkunrai i oroan?. These genders still exist in south part of Sulawesi Island. Position of other genders, out of binary men and women, which position was installed by abrahamic religion in Indonesia, meaning Sunni Islam and different Christian domination is under threat. This paper aims to deconstruct third gender forms in Indonesia. Decolonization is used in order to better comprehend multigenderism away from Western paradigms. By understanding complex socio-religious environment we can grasp the mechanism of the survival of these marginalized communities besides all circumstances.

Revitalizing Love and Compassion Values Education at Religious Education Learning in National Curriculum in Indonesia

Three effective methods for instilling love and compassion values in students were habituation, exemplary, and reflective learning.

The Position of Kejawen in the Indonesian Constitution

The paradigms of world religions often influence Indonesia's general understanding of religion. Indigenous religious practices are often labeled as animistic practices. The adherents of the Indigenous religion are often regarded as worshipers of trees, mountains, and the like. Such is the case with adherents of the Indigenous religion in Java Island (Kejawen). From the results of a literature study that utilizes various literature and paradigms related to the existence of religion in Indonesia, this study tries to look further into the position of Kejawen in the Indonesian constitution. The results of this study found that Kejawen adherents still experience many discriminatory actions due to the lack of comprehensive understanding of the Indonesian people regarding the importance of symbolic recognition and the resources of Kejawen teachings. In addition, Kejawen adherents also feel they have a historical burden because they are not considered adherents of a religion "recognized" by the State. Kejawen is often associated with occult and shamanic traditions. The Indonesian constitution clearly states that the State must be fair in guaranteeing and giving freedom to every citizen to choose, adhere to, and practice their religions or beliefs. Kejawen, as part of the Indigenous religion, should also be protected and guaranteed its rights and freedoms and placed in an equal position with other religions.

Nilai Pendidikan Sosial Keberagamaan Islam Dalam Moderasi Beragama Di Indonesia

The ongoing cases of radicalism and terrorism in the name of religion in Indonesia necessitate the importance of objectifying moderate religious social values. This study aims to identify the values ​​of Islamic religious social education in religious moderation indicators formulated by the Ministry of Religion of the Republic of Indonesia. This research center uses a normative-philosophical approach with analytical theory in the form of a Prophetic Social Science paradigm that was initiated by Kuntowijoyo. The results of the study show that there are social values ​​of Islamic religiosity in the four indicators of religious moderation. First, the transcendence value in tolerance education is in the form of forming social mindsets and attitudes, both in the context of inter-religious and intra-religious life. Second, the value of humanization in national commitment education and accommodative to local culture in the form of forming mindsets and attitudes to maintain nationalism and plural local wisdom. Third, the value of liberation in anti-radicalism education in the form of forming a productive mindset and attitude in realizing a safe and peaceful life. The theoretical implication of this finding shows that there is a meeting point of the paradigmatic basis between the four indicators of religious moderation and the parallel values ​​of Islamic religious social education.

KONSEP PLURALISME AGAMA DALAM PERSPEKTIF DJOHAN EFFENDI

The Indonesian nation is rich in religious diversity. There are officially 6 recognized religions in Indonesia, namely, Islam, Protestant Christianity, Catholic Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism and Confucianism. Every religion has its own concept of religious beliefs. Because of these differences, religion is accused of being the main cause in conflicts that have different religious concepts. Conflicts in the name of religion can be understood because of the public's lack of understanding of religious pluralism. One of the figures who fight for religious pluralism is Djohan Effendi. He is a prominent Indonesian Muslim intellectual and is included in 50 figures of the Jaringan Islam Liberal (JIL). In this thesis, the researcher focuses on Djohan Effendi's thoughts on Religious Pluralism. The type of research used is library research, the type of data is qualitative using two data sources, namely, primary data sources are the sources of books written by Djohan Effendi. As well as secondary data, namely, data obtained from books, manuscripts, articles and so on related to the problem. For data collection techniques, namely collecting data in the form of books, journals and information related to the problem. While the analysis technique of this research is using qualitative descriptive data analysis by using a historical approach to the characters and an interpretation approach to the thoughts of the characters. Researchers must read carefully, think carefully so that conclusions can be found. The result of the analysis of the research on the concept of religious pluralism in Djohan Effendi's perspective is that Djohan Effendi rejects religious absolutism and accepts religious pluralism. Djohan separates religion and religiosity. According to him, absolute religion cannot be reached by human knowledge. Only God can know the absolute religion itself. While the religion that humans say is not absolute religion, but diversity so that every religious human being may say that his religion is the most correct and saving.

DAKWAH TOLERANSI DI INDONESIA:

The house of worship is one of the sacred places in a religious community. In addition, the house of worship is also one of the important icons in a religion. In the context of Islam, the Prophet Muhammad once ordered to destroy houses of worship. This is certainly contradictory to the house of worship as a sacred and iconic place. This paper discusses further about the traditions of the destruction of the house of worship. In addition, this paper also contextualizes the universal values ??of the hadith with the context of religion in Indonesia. The double movement theory initiated by Fazlur Rahman which was further developed by Abdullah Saeed becomes a point of view in analyzing this reality. If we go back to past history, the order to destroy houses of worship at the time of the Prophet was caused by the existence of mosques that did not benefit the Muslim community. On the contrary, the mosque was used to spy on the Muslim community at that time. If you look at the context, then the destruction of mosques in Indonesia by using the hadith as a justification is certainly not appropriate because the context is different.

Integrating Islamic Values in Teaching English: Lessons Learned from an Integrated Islamic School

Learning English is very closely related to learning western culture, which might contrast with Islamic values, the dominant religion in Indonesia. This study finds merit in finding out the implementation of Islamic values in teaching English at an Integrated Islamic school in Indonesia, where the school chosen curriculum mandated that the subject be integrated with Islamic values since all the students are Muslim. This case study took place at an Integrated Islamic School, and the data were collected through interviewing seven English teachers and conducting a thematic analysis on their lesson plans. All the teachers admitted that integrating Islamic values in the English lesson was essential. Still, the thematic analysis showed that their perceptions about the importance of integrating Islamic values in English learning were not firmly in line with the implementation in the teaching and learning process. The teachers' lesson plans (RPP) did not depict substantial integration of Islamic values. This study recommends the practical ways of integrating Islamic that could improve teachers' understanding of Islamic values in English learning, additionally pointing out a need to develop the curriculum and teaching materials that incorporate Islamic values.

Third, the educational value of the third precept in the indicator of national commitment in the form of awareness of the attitude of upholding the values of unity and unity in the frame of state life in Indonesia. Fourth, the educational value of the fourth and fifth precepts in adaptive indicators to local culture in the form of being democratic and making the value of social justice in responding to diversity related to local wisdom.

Linguistic Hospitality

AbstractThe existence of indigenous religions in Indonesia has always been overshadowed by a history of discrimination from state‐recognized religions. One of the main causes is the government’s use of categorization that is influenced by the world religions paradigm. As a result, the government does not recognize indigenous religion as a religion and promotes a categorization of it that tends to be negative. In the Christian discourse of theology of religions, the models of exclusivism, inclusivism, pluralism, and even particularism are trapped in a similar religious categorization. On the one hand, the models of theology of religions are open to dialogue with world religions. On the other hand, indigenous religion is not considered a dialogue partner. This article argues that linguistic hospitality can be an inspiration for interreligious dialogue, allowing Christianity to become more open to indigenous religions. Emphasizing a hermeneutic of openness allows indigenous religions to show their otherness without being limited by assumptions of Christian theology.
