Becoming Aristocrats: Keraton in the Politics of Adat Fadjar I. Thufail Introduction An incident in West Jakarta District involving a group of thugs unravels the fraught relationship between the royal families of Javanese keratons and the public,1 exposing contentious issues over cultural property, political connection and symbolic status. The incident discloses an overlooked connection between the aristocracy and economy and sheds light on the challenges the aristocrats confront to rethink how noble culture and adat encounter the encroachment of capital and the state into the palace realm. In other words, the incident with the thugs depicts the predicament that the keraton and its noblemen must negotiate in order to sustain and assert the cultural sovereignty of the palace despite the continuous pressures from the state and capital to curtail the political role of the keraton.

This paper discusses the controversy surrounding Sultan HB X’s decision by measuring the impact of his proclamations and orders for the Sultanate’s long-term regime effectiveness. I argue that Sultan HB X’s proclamations and orders based, which were based on mysticism and a sense of divinity, have been ineffectual for maintaining regime effectiveness inside and outside of the Sultanate. Within the Sultanate, the Sultan’s siblings have argued that his decisions contradict the Sultanate’s centuries-long tradition of rules (paugeran). Outside the palace walls, broader society has been divided over Sultan HB X’s choice. One group supports Sultan HB X’s decision, while the other group is determined to hold on firmly to their patriarchal cultural and historical traditions. While Sultan HB X’s proclamations and orders have been ineffectual in maintaining the Sultanate and its influence, his decisions have even brought about an enormous challenge to the survival prospects of the Sultanate itself. Keywords: political legitimation, regime, Sultan Hamengkubuwono, Yogyakarta Sultanate ABSTRAK Pada 2015, Sultan Hamengkubuwono (HB) X mengeluarkan empat kali Sabda dan Dawuh Raja yang berkaitan dengan suksesi kepemimpinan di Kasultanan Yogyakarta. Tanpa memiliki putra laki-laki, Sultan HB X menunjuk putri sulungnya sebagai penerus takhta yang menganut patrilineal.

Tapi, bagaimana dengan umat­Nya atau manu­ sia pada umumnya? “Merekalah yang sebenarnya justru perlu dibela” ketika mereka menuai ancaman atau mengalami ketertindasan dalam seluruh aspek kehidupan, baik politik, ekonomi, sosial, budaya dan agama. Konsekuensi dari pembelaan, adalah kritik, dan ter­ kadang terpaksa harus mengecam, jika sudah melewati ambang toleransi. “Pembelaan”, itulah kata kunci dalam esai­esai kumpul­ an tulisan Abdurrahman Wahid kali ini. Maka, bisa dikatakan, esai­esai ini berangkat dari perspektif korban, dalam hampir se­ mua kasus yang dibahas. Wahid tidak pandang bulu, tidak membedakan agama, et­ nis, warna kulit, posisi sosial, agama apapun untuk melakukan­ nya. Bahkan, Wahid tidak ragu untuk mengorbankan image sen­ diri—sesuatu yang seringkali menjadi barang mahal bagi mereka yang merasa sebagai politisi terkemuka— untuk membela korban yang memang perlu dibela.

    BAB III PEMIKIRAN K.H. ABDURRAHMAN WAHID TENTANG DAKWAH TANPA KEKERASAN 3.1 Biografi K.H. Abdurrahman Wahid dan karya-karyanya 3.1.1 Kelahiran Gus Dur K.H. Abdurrahman Wahid lahir pada hari ke-4 dan bulan ke-8 kalender Islam (Agustus) 1940. Terdapat kepercayaan bahwa ia lahir 4 Agustus, namun kalender yang digunakan untuk menandai hari kelahirannya adalah kalender Islam yang berarti ia lahir pada 4 Sya‟ban, sama dengan 7 September 1940 (Rifai, 2013: 27). K.H. Abdurrahman Wahid adalah anak pertama dari pasangan K.H. Wahid Hasyim dan Nyai Solichah. Sebagaimana kebanyakan dalam tradisi muslim abangan di Jawa, yang sesuai dengan kebiasaan Arab sendiri, ia adalah Abdurrahman putra Wahid, sebagaimana ayahnya sendiri Wahid putra Hasyim. Namun demikian, sebagaimana kebiasaan orang jawa, nama tersebut akhirnya mengalami perkembangan dan berbeda dengan nama resminya (Barton, 2003: 22). Kehadiran Gus Dur ini sangat membahagiakan kedua orang tuanya, karena ia adalah anak laki-laki dan anak pertama. Ia dipenuhi oleh optimisme seorang ayah. Ini bisa terlihat dari pemberian nama Abdurrahman Ad-Dakhil, terutama kata Ad- Dakhil jelas merujuk dari nama pahlawan dari Dinasti 32 Umayyah, yang secara harfiah berarti “Sang Penakluk”. Di dalam sejarah peradaban Islam, tokoh Ad-Dakhil adalah tokoh yang membawa Islam ke Spanyol dan mendirikan peradaban yang berlangsung di sana selama berabad-abad (Barton, 2003: 33). Gus Dur adalah anak yang tumbuh dan tidak bisa ditekan. Dengan kata lain, masa kecilnya nakal. Kenakalan ini mengakibatkan ia diikat dengan tambang ke tiang bendera di halaman depan sebagai hukuman bagi leluconnya yang terlalu jauh atau sikapnya yang kurang sopan. Bukti kenakalan lainnya adalah ketika ia belum berusia genap dua belas tahun, ia telah dua kali mengalami patah lengan akibat kegemarannya memanjat pohon apa saja.
