Inside the Muslim women’s glossy Noor 167 xi Acknowledgements Institutional support, intellectual feedback, and emotional encouragement are the ingredients that make writing a dissertation possible. I am indebted to many people and organizations who have provided me with these essential elements, and however inadequate, I would like to start thanking and acknowledging them here. It goes without saying that I alone take responsibility for the final work and any discerned errors and shortcomings. I am profoundly grateful to my three supervisors Frances Gouda, Pamela Pattynama, and Dubravka Zarkov for their unyielding trust in my intellectual capacities and their continuous support for my project throughout these years. Their distinctive expertise in the different disciplines of respectively History, Literature, and Anthropology has contributed to shaping my project and the ways in which I have come to understand my research field in a truly interdisciplinary manner. I much welcomed Frances Gouda’s astute suggestions to look at the many ways in which the colonial past continues to resurface in Indonesia’s postcolonial present. I thank her for her kindness and enthusiasm and her always genuine inquiry into my well being. I am also indebted to her partner Gary who edited my entire PhD. I cherish deeply the discussions with Pamela Pattynama on issues of gender, ethnicity, race, “Indo-ness”, belonging, and the idea of authenticity that have gone beyond the scope of this project and into my new research interest in transnational adoption. I valued her warm and sincere openness as well as her rigorous professionalism. The theoretical and methodological interventions from Dubravka Zarkov have been indispensable for my work. I envy her analytical sharpness and I am very thankful for her generous time and her analysis of my work that have constantly kept me attentive to the complexity of method and theory in analyzing public discourses, identity, and politics. I cannot find a way to properly thank all the people in Indonesia who were willing to share – both formally and informally – their ideas with me about Muslim politics and democratization in the new post-Suharto era. Their time and patience xiii have made possible the fine nuances and complexities apparent in the analyses of the different public debates. I want to mention in particular the following people for their help in the research field. They are Putu Oka Sukanta, Maria Ulfah, Carla Bianpoen, Nani Nurachman, Nursyahbani Katjasungkana, Ciciek Farha, Ayu Ratih, Maria Hartiningsih, Neng Dara Affiah, Siti Musdah Muliya, Ita Nadia, Debra Yatim, Ratna Batara Munti, Kamala Chandrakirana, Nuriyah Abdurrachman Wahid, Nani Zuminarni, Lily Zakiyah Munir, Andree Feillard, Chamamah Soeratno, Ery Seda, AD Kusumaningtyas, Nur Iman Subono, Syafiq Hasyim, Hanna Satriyo, Masruchah, Nursanita Nasution, Ledia Hanifa, Sri Mulyati, Ery Rosatria, Wa Ode Ajmawati, and Herni Ramdlanningrum. I thank my relatives, friends, and colleagues in Indonesia, without whom my fieldwork would not have been such a pleasure. In Solo and Sragen my aunt Ira Weenas, and my cousins Ellen and Sandra Andaka, have been an invaluable support during my exciting but also exhaustive research visits. In Jakarta the collegiality and friendship from Lies Marcoes, Melani Budianta, and Manneke Budiman have meant a lot to me. I have appreciated their insightful perspectives on contemporary Indonesian politics and their always warm encouragement toward my project. I am happy that I got to know Alia Swastika and Vera

  • Swimsuit Poses Problem for Miss Universe Hopeful from Muslim Indonesia by MICHAEL CASEY Associated Press Writer

    Swimsuit Poses Problem for Miss Universe Hopeful from Muslim Indonesia by MICHAEL CASEY Associated Press Writer

    Swimsuit poses problem for Miss Universe hopeful from Muslim Indonesia By MICHAEL CASEY Associated Press Writer JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) _ Artika Sari Devi looks the part of a beauty queen with her million-dollar smile and hourglass figure. And she dreams of becoming Indonesia's first Miss Universe. There is only one thing holding her back _ a swimsuit. Like most international beauty competitions, Miss Universe requires participants to appear in a swimsuit _ either a one-piece model or a bikini. But here in the world's most populous Muslim nation, the 24-year-old Miss Indonesia faces condemnation from religious leaders and government officials who say women in swimsuits violate religious tenets requiring them to dress modestly. "Every country can join the competition, so why not Indonesia?" asks Artika, who won the Miss Indonesia pageant in August, an event that does not require contestants to parade in swimwear. "I don't see a problem with the swimsuit. It's only to show my proportions. ... So many Muslims wear swimsuits. I wear one swimming," she says. Battles over bathing suits would seem out of place in Indonesia, where newsstands are filled with magazines featuring scantily clad models and miniskirts. Prostitution rings operate openly in all major cities. But Islamic conservatives _ some of whom want to replace Indonesia's secular system with one bound by Islamic law _ have been emboldened since the fall of ex-dictator Suharto in 1998. Under pressure from fundamentalists, the male-dominated parliament is debating a law that would make kissing in public and erotic dancing punishable by jail time.

    WENN KI, DANN FEMINISTISCH IMPULSE AUS WISSENSCHAFT UND AKTIVISMUS Hrsg. von netzforma* e.V. Berlin 2020 • Wenn KI, dann feministisch — Impulse aus Wissenschaft und Aktivismus Hrsg. von netzforma* e.V. — Berlin 2020 • DIE GESCHICHTE MEINER SCHRIFT Zu Beginn des Jahres entdeckte meine Mutter eine neue Leiden- schaft: Sticken. Sie hatte schon vorher Freude an kreativen Praktiken gehabt (wie Weben und Stricken). In ihrer neuen Aktivität fand sie etwas befriedigendes, was sie sehr er- füllt. Ihre ersten Stickereien waren Buchstaben, vor allem aus dem Sajou-Alphabet. Als ich die sah, kam mir eine Idee. Gemeinsam dachten wir über eine fruchtbare Zusammen- arbeit nach, die unsere beiden jeweiligen Hobbys vereinen könnte. Was wäre, wenn sie meine eigenen Schriften stickte? Um diese Idee umzusetzen, entwickelte ich für meine Schrift Arthemys Display Light eine neue Version, die es meiner Mutter ermöglichte, die Formen auf ein spezielles Gewebe (namens Aïda) zu übertragen. Dieser Prozess erfordert eine binäre Sprache, genau wie Pixel auf einem Computer. Die Buchstaben werden also Punkt für Punkt gedacht und akribisch zusammengesetzt. Das geht weg von dem Ge- danken einer vektorisierten Form, die nur durch ihre Umrisse definiert wird. Vielmehr muss die Form in ihrer gesamten Fläche aufgebaut werden, wie mit Legosteinen! Auf dieser Grundlage konnte meine Mutter die verschiedenen Buch- staben bauen, indem sie einfach dem Raster des Gewebes folgte. Sicherlich war dieser Prozess ziemlich aufwendig und verlangte eine Menge Geduld ab, aber meine Mutter

  • Negotiating Polygamy in Indonesia

    Negotiating Polygamy in Indonesia

    Negotiating Polygamy in Indonesia. Between Muslim Discourse and Women’s Lived Experiences Nina Nurmila Dra (Bandung, Indonesia), Grad.Dip.Arts (Murdoch University, Western Australia), MA (Murdoch University) Submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy February 2007 Gender Studies - Faculty of Arts The University of Melbourne ABSTRACT Unlike most of the literature on polygamy, which mainly uses theological and normative approaches, this thesis is a work of social research which explores both Indonesian Muslim discourses on polygamy and women’s lived experiences in polygamous marriages in the post-Soeharto period (after 1998). The thesis discusses the interpretations of the Qur’anic verses which became the root of Muslim controversies over polygamy. Indonesian Muslim interpretations of polygamy can be divided into three groups based on Saeed’s categorisation of the Muslim approaches to the Qur’an (2006b: 3). First, the group he refers to as the ‘Textualists’ believe that polygamy is permitted in Islam, and regard it as a male right. Second, the group he refers to as ‘Semi-textualists’ believe that Islam discourages polygamy and prefers monogamy; therefore, polygamy can only be permitted under certain circumstances such as when a wife is barren, sick and unable to fulfil her duties, including ‘serving’ her husband’s needs. Third, the group he calls ‘Contextualists’ believe that Islam implicitly prohibits polygamy because just treatment of more than one woman, the main requirement for polygamy, is impossible to achieve. This thesis argues that since the early twentieth century it was widely admitted that polygamy had caused social problems involving neglect of wives and their children.

    Thesis Polygamy on the Web: an Online Community for An

    THESIS POLYGAMY ON THE WEB: AN ONLINE COMMUNITY FOR AN UNCONVENTIONAL PRACTICE Submitted by Kristen Sweet-McFarling Department of Anthropology In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the Degree of Master of Arts Colorado State University Fort Collins, Colorado Summer 2014 Master’s Committee: Advisor: Lynn Kwiatkowski Cindy Griffin Barbara Hawthorne Copyright by Kristen Sweet-McFarling 2014 All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT POLYGAMY ON THE WEB: AN ONLINE COMMUNITY FOR AN UNCONVENTIONAL PRACTICE This thesis is a virtual ethnographic study of a polygamy website consisting of one chat room, several discussion boards, and polygamy related information and links. The findings of this research are based on the interactions and activities of women and men on the polygamy website. The research addressed the following questions: 1) what are individuals using the website for? 2) What are website members communicating about? 3) How are individuals using the website to search for polygamous relationships? 4) Are website members forming connections and meeting people offline through the use of the website? 5) Do members of the website perceive the Internet to be affecting the contemporary practice of polygamy in the U.S.? This research focused more on the desire to create a polygamous relationship rather than established polygamous marriages and kinship networks. This study found that since the naturalization of monogamous heterosexual marriage and the nuclear family has occurred in the U.S., due to a number of historical, social, cultural, political, and economic factors, the Internet can provide a means to denaturalize these concepts and provide a space for the expression and support of counter discourses of marriage, like polygamy.

  • BAB I PENDAHULUAN 1.1 Latar Belakang Popularitas Kontes

    BAB I PENDAHULUAN 1.1 Latar Belakang Popularitas Kontes

    BAB I PENDAHULUAN 1.1 Latar Belakang Popularitas kontes kecantikan yang diawali di Eropa telah merambah ke banyak negara termasuk Indonesia. Sejumlah kontes kecantikan meramaikan industri pertelevisian, salah satunya adalah kontes kecantikan Puteri Indonesia yang sudah diselenggarakan sejak tahun 1992. Ajang Puteri Indonesia digagas oleh pendiri PT Mustika Ratu, yaitu Mooryati Soedibyo. Di tahun 2020, kompetisi Puteri Indonesia kembali digelar dan ditayangkan di stasiun televisi SCTV. Penyelenggaraan kontes, melibatkan 39 finalis yang berlomba menampilkan performa terbaik untuk memperebutkan gelar dan mahkota Puteri Indonesia. Pemilihan 39 finalis yang berkompetisi di panggung Puteri Indonesia melalui proses yang tidak mudah. Yayasan Puteri Indonesia (YPI) menjelaskan bahwa perempuan yang berhasil menjadi perwakilan provinsi dipilih melalui seleksi ketat. YPI membebankan syarat utama bagi calon peserta untuk memenuhi kriteria “Brain, Beauty, Behavior”. Secara spesifik YPI mematok kontestan harus memiliki tinggi minimal 170 cm, berpenampilan menarik, dan pernah atau sedang menempuh pendidikan di perguruan tinggi. Nantinya, apabila berhasil terpilih sebagai pemenang, maka 3 besar Puteri Indonesia akan mengikuti ajang kecantikan internasional yaitu, 1 2 Miss Universe, Miss International, dan Miss Supranational (www.puteri- indonesia.com, 2019). Konstruksi ideal “Brain, Beauty, Behavior” atau 3B telah melekat dengan kontes Puteri Indonesia, dan menjadi harapan bagi masyarakat untuk melihat figur perempuan ideal. Namun, penyelenggaraan kontes di tahun 2020 mendapat sorotan terkait dengan performa finalis saat malam final. Salah satu finalis yang menjadi perbincangan hangat adalah Kalista Iskandar, perwakilan dari Provinsi Sumatera Barat. Langkahnya terhenti di babak 6 besar setelah gagal menjawab pertanyaan terkait Pancasila. Kegagalannya dalam sesi tanya-jawab, menghiasi pemberitaan media massa hingga menjadi topik yang paling banyak dibicarakan (trending topic) di media sosial Twitter.
