Musa Maliki Date: March 2019 iii This page intentionally left blank iv ABSTRACT The Samin Javanese ethnic identity is in an ongoing process of transformation, negotiation, and reinterpretation of meaning, and draws sustaining energies from its dynamic, fluid, and ambiguous connections with modernity. Historical theorists, social theorists, and anthropologists have tended to reduce the Saminists by placing them in a specific theoretical framework of Western discourse, which, once rationally argued for and logically justified (within the framework of Western academic discourse), is taken for granted. Yet no study has focused specifically on the constructed social formation of the Samin Javanese ethnic identity in political and cultural dimensions, relating these to modernity from the colonial period (1800) through to the post-authoritarian (2018) period. The Saminists are most often mentioned alongside Javanese cults (Kejawen), Javanese Islam (Abangan), and recently, the anti-cement movement as a distinct and independent cultural unit of analysis. I saw an opportunity to utilize Eisenstadt’s concept of multiple modernities, Barth’s term of ethnicity, Bhabha’s concept of hybridity to better understand the dynamic complex relations between the Samin community and modernity. Based on this idea, I suggest that the Saminists’ interaction with modernity should be perceived as a narrative to avoid an essentialist analysis. The concept of multiple modernities is applied to show that, although in a particular period they were often opposed to the Western identity (and modern identity), the Samin were distinctively modern in terms of their own narrative. The Saminists have multiple identities and their hybrid traditions are connected to Javanese, Islam, mystical, and modern forms of identity. They forge a complex contemporary situational identity that draws on tensions with and ambiguities about modernity. As a result, some Saminists resist modernity, represented by the Indonesian government and corporations, but cooperate with modern institutions such as non-government organizations (NGOs). Some others cooperate with the Indonesian government and NGOs, and still others are in an ambivalent relationship with these entities. In short, the Samin community has many layers of identity. Discourse analysis is applied to review the studies of previous researchers who constructed the Samin community based on their judgment and theoretical framework using historical facts and colonial documents. Discourse analysis is also important to view how non-Saminists construct the Saminists when dealing with current issues. Moreover, ethnomethodological fieldwork has enabled me to engage in the everyday lifeworld where the Samin community, as participants, and the researcher, as co-participant, constructed nuanced understandings of becoming Saminists and their meanings in the context of multiple modernities. v ACKNOWLEDGEMENT I would like to thank to institutions and people who support me. They are kindly contributed to this thesis and without any of them this thesis would not have been possible. I am indebted to my sponsor, the Indonesian Ministry of Higher Degree Education (DIKTI) incorporating with Universitas Pembangunan Nasional Veteran Jakarta (UPNVJ) for the scholarship endorsement; I humbly thank for the opportunity to conduct this doctoral research. I am also grateful to Charles Darwin University for its supports of extension that enables me to finish my thesis. I express my high appreciation to the Indonesian Consulate in Darwin for arranging the cooperation between DIKTI and Charles Darwin University. To three of my supervisors: Professor Wayne Cristaudo, Professor Dennis Shoesmith and Dr Steve Farram, I am sincerely grateful for their incredible supervision and constructive discussion I had with them during the whole process of this research. I really appreciate their magnificent comments of fine details and large issues. Our discussions have guided me to become more mündigkeit and more mature in dealing with knowledge and complex reality. They encouraged my study. I really appreciate their patience in supervising me. I would like to express my sincere appreciation to Professor Robert Hefner for his deep comment on my paper and presentation about modernity topic as well as his precious suggestion in our discussion. I thank Professor David Reeve for his kindness in sending me the copy of Onghokham’s thesis. I further express my deep gratitude to Professor Ann Kumar for her time to discuss all about Java and her books. My great appreciation also goes to scholars who are very much concerned on the study of the Samin community: Dr Nawari Ismail, Dr Moh Rosyid, Dr Achmad Uzair, Amrih Widodo, and Anis Sholeh Ba’asyin for their constructive comments and to my colleagues, Muhammad Abe who was very helpful when accompanying me during the fieldwork. Most importantly, I deeply appreciate my best friends Abdullah Sumrahadi, Afthonul Afif and Hamzah Fansuri who guided me to the way of correct methodology, especially at the final stage of the writing. I express my highest gratefulness to all members of the Samin community in Pati, Kudus, and Blora whom I cannot mention their name one by one because of ethics. I wish that all of you will seize what you struggle for in life and maintain the Samin’s teachings. I would like to thank all of my friends when I was in Darwin: Dr Rachmat Hidayat, Dr Nathan Franklin, Dr Hanandyo Dardjito, Dr Meika Kurnia Puji, Daniel Dwyer, Rolland Dalton, and Brett Dwyer for helping and guiding me throughout my doctoral journey.

  • In Syi'ir Tanpa Waton As One of an Alternative Effort Or Academic Resolutions to Evercome the Problems Mentioned Above
    Teosofia: Indonesian Journal of Islamic Mysticism, Vol. 7, No. 2, 2018, pp. 115-136 e-ISSN: 2540-8186; p-ISSN: 2302-8017 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.21580/tos.v7i2.4405 THE SPIRITUAL MEANING OF SULUK IN SYI’IR TANPA WATON Siti Maslahah UIN Sunan Kalijaga [email protected] Abstract: Syi’ir Tanpa Waton, a work of KH Mohammad Nizam As-shofa, is a sufi poem. It is a cultural endeavor to response the modern problems of Muslims who easily judge others infidels without realizing their own infidelity. This poem is used as a closing recitation of Reboan Agung (Islamic regular study forum of Muslim conducted in every Wednesday night learning the book of Jamī’ al-uṣul fi al-uliyā’ the work of Shaykh Ahmad Dhiya 'uddin Musthofa Al-Kamisykhonawi) and the book of Al-Fatḥurrabbani wa al-Faiḍurrahmani the work of Shaykh Abdul Qadir al-Jilani. The forum took place at Islamic boarding school of Ahlus-Shofa Wal Wafa Sidoarjo, East Java. This research is inspired by spiritual emptiness caused by the modernization and the shallow understanding of Islamic teachings. Islam is studied and practiced at the level of shari'a without deepening it into higher stages of sufism i.e. tariqa, haqiqa and even marifa. This study employs content analysis and qualitative approach aims at analyzing the message or moral values contained in the literature. Then, I classifies basic thoughts into some themes and selects these themes to find the central idea of the text. Substantively, the verses were structurely written ranging from understanding comprehensively the teachings of Islam, teachings self-awareness, the teachings of social piety (humanism) and the teachings of Sufism namely suluk practice.

Revised: April 23, 2018. Accepted: June 10, 2018 Abstract This research aims at examining how Banyumas people’s characteristics are symbolically ex- pressed in Calung Banyumasan performance. This qualitative research employs a hermeneutic approach to examine any symbolic meanings in calung performance. The data are collected by literary study, document study, observation and interview, which are then analyzed using con- tent analysis and interactive analysis of Miles and Huberman. The research results show that some song lyrics identify Banyumas people’s images and characteristics such as equality and honesty (cablaka) just like the ngoko level language they use. The performance consists of opening, Lenggeran, Badhudan, and Baladewan acts in the process of illustrating the character of Banyumas people who love jokes and crowd. Some aspects arising in performance reflect Banyumas people as an egalitarian, straightforward, like-to-gather, and syncretic society.

    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Christopher R. Foertsch for the degree of Master of Arts in Applied Anthropology presented on June 3, 2016. Title: Educational Migration in Indonesia: An Ethnography of Eastern Indonesian Students in Malang, Java. Abstract approved: ______________________________________________________ David A. McMurray This research explores the experience of the growing number of students from Eastern Indonesia who attend universities on Java. It asks key questions about the challenges these often maligned students face as ethnic, linguistic, and religious minorities exposed to the dominant culture of their republic during their years of education. Through interviews and observations conducted in Malang, Java, emergent themes about this group show their resilience and optimism despite discrimination by their Javanese hosts. Findings also reveal their use of social networks from their native islands as a strategy for support and survival. ©Copyright by Christopher R.

Pemerintah Kolonial Belanda tidaklah seberhasil pemerintah kolonial Spanyol dalam menjadikan jajahan mereka menjadi bangsa seperti mereka, meskipun agama digunakan sebagai alat dominasi. Bagi Spanyol, agama Katolik menjadi bagian peradaban mereka, dan menjadi bagian penting proyek kolonialisme mereka, sedangkan bagi pemerintah kolonial Belanda, agama Kristen tidak menjadi bagian penting kolonialisme mereka (kenyataan sejarah yang menolak anggapan umum di Indonesia bahwa kolonialisme Belanda dan kristenisasi sangat berhubungan). Misionaris Spanyol di Filipina menguasai daerah koloni melalui metode-metode keagamaan dan kebudayaan, sedangkan pemerintah kolonial Belanda, dan misionaris dari Belanda, harus berurusan dengan masyarakat yang sudah memeluk Islam di daerah-daerah Indonesia. Pemerintah Belanda mengizinkan kristenisasi dalam beberapa kasus asalkan tidak mengganggu umat Islam dan tidak mengganggu kepentingan ekonomi mereka.Akibatnya, mayoritas Filipina menjadi Katolik, sedangkan mayoritas Hindia Belanda tidak menjadi Protestan.

Tanjung Pura, formerly was the capital of Malay Sultanate of Langkat, had various cultural heritages of Malay Sultanate and Dutch colonial. The diversity of cultural heritage objects in Tanjung Pura such as the historical buildings possess great potential as tourism assets in Tanjung Pura. Therefore, the conservation efforts are very much needed to avoid the old town Tanjung Pura from becoming only as a history. The special target of this research is the conservation of the region in Tanjung Pura as an architectural and cultural tourism asset. The results of the research are the design concept, conservation concept, design of the area, and documentation (such as photos and pictures of the historical buildings) using a design program. The result of the measurements and sketches in the area obtained using the design program, analysis and design concepts for the area will be used as a tourist object attraction. Keywords: City of Tanjung Pura, Conservation, Tourism Architecture. 1. INTRODUCTION Issues about the conservation of historical areas, especially in the old town have been done by many countries in this world such as Japan, Netherland, Singapore, and others. For example, in the beginning, Singapore had replaced buildings and historical areas with new appearance of modernization. However, the small number of tourists that come to Singapore made the government return back the historical city’s look such as Kampung Melayu, Little India, and China Town.

    KATA PENGANTAR RAIS SYURIYAH PCNU PONOROGO NU DAN BUDAYA OTOKRITIK Assalamu’alaikum Wr. Wb. Bismillahirrahmanirrahim Tiada kata yang pantas terucap selain rasa syukur kepada Allah SWT., atas pertolongan-Nya, buku dengan judul Membaca dan Menggagas NU ke Depan: Senarai Pemikiran Orang Muda NU bisa terbit di hadapan sidang pembaca. Kami ucapkan banyak terima kasih kepada Litbang PCNU Ponorogo dan PC ISNU Ponorogo atas prakarsa dan kerja kerasnya menerbitkan buku Senarai Pemikiran ini. Buku ini diharapkan bisa menjadi awal perkembangan dan transformasi tradisi NU di Ponorogo, yakni dari tradisi oral ke tradisi tulis. Sebagaimana NU kaya akan tradisi, akan tetapi pembacaan terhadap tradisi tersebut tidak banyak didokumentasikan dalam bentuk buku. Padahal buku lebih memungkinkan untuk dibaca dan diapresiasi banyak kalangan, bahkan lintas generasi sekalipun. Inilah makna silsilah atau transmisi keilmuan yang tidak asing lagi bagi masyarakat NU. Membaca judul buku ini berikut topik-topik yang ditawarkan, buku ini bisa dinilai sebagai bentuk otokritik terhadap “kemapanan” tradisi NU di Ponorogo. Budaya otokritik sesungguhnya bukan hal yang asing, bahkan menggejala dalam tradisi agama dan keagamaan, serta organisasi keagamaan. Otokritik atau kritik internal dari pemeluk agama, atau penganut organisasi keagamaan mempunyai nilai yang sangat strategis. Otokritik adalah penanda kesadaran untuk bangkit dan maju sesuai dengan dinamika kemajuan zaman. Senyampang kritik tersebut tidak mengarah pada relativisme, atau bahkan nihilisme. Karena “menjadi maju” tidak bermakna meninggalkan v Membaca dan Menggagas NU ke Depan sama sekali tradisi dan nilai-nilai adiluhung, akan tetapi mengawinkan tradisi dengan semangat zaman. Tanpa ada perkawinan antara tradisi dan kemajuan zaman, justru organisasi ini akan ditanggalkan oleh para anggotanya. Bukankah NU mempunyai slogan al-muhafadah ‘ala al-qadim al-shalih wa al-akhd bi al-jadid al-ashlah.
