Gerakan-gerakan sosial keagamaan di Indonesia merupakan bidang keilmuan sosial humaniora yang menarik untuk dikaji dan didiskusikan karena ia terus berubah dan berkembang. Perubahan dan perkembangannya terus berlanjut sebagaimana perkembangan pemikiran manusia dari zaman ke zaman. Hal ini disebabkan karena agama memiliki spektrum yang luas dan horizon yang dalam tentang semua aspek. Agama menjadi sumber nilai bagi pembentukan kepribadian, ideologi bagi gerakan sosial dan perekat hubungan sosial. Ajaran agama manapun yang dianut oleh komunitas manapun di belahan dunia ini mengajarkan kepada pemeluknya untuk menjadi manusia yang baik, jujur, memiliki kasih sayang, mencintai kedamaian dan membe...
Bisnis batu giok di Aceh khususnya di Kota Lhokseumawe awal mulainya semakin marak, hal ini dapat di lihat dari banyaknya pengasah batu sampai dengan penjual batu giok yang belum diasah berupa bongkahan, baik itu di kaki lima maupun dengan menggunakan mobik bak terbuka. Beberapa pemerintahan kabupaten di Provinsi Aceh mengeluarkan aturan melalui peraturan Bupati tentang perdagangan batu mulia. Salah satunya pajak atas batu giok yang dibawa keluar daerah yang masih berbentuk bongkahan akan dikenakan pajak, tapi yang sudah diolah berbentuk cincin, gelang, kalung dan anting tidak dikenakan pajak. Jika potensi ini dikelola dengan baik akan memberi nilai tambah terhadap potensi batu giok bagi masyarakat dan daerah, sehingga banyak tenaga kerja yang akan terserap, baik itu sebagai pencari, pengumpul, pengasah maupun pedagang batu giok.
Political conditions in Indonesia during the Soeharto era and the need for total reform, an Islamic viewpoint.
Revealing how the one community of the faith in the Qur'an, the umma, affects competing politics of identity in the Muslim world.
The scholarly contributors to this volume investigate various means to stimulate and facilitate reflection on new social relations while clarifying the contradictions between religious and social affiliation from different perspectives and experiences. They explore hindrances whose removal could enable Muslim children and youth to pursue equal participation in political and social life, and the ways that education could facilitate this process.
In this volume, Anthony Reid positions Southeast Asia on the stage of world history. He argues that the region not only had a historical character of its own, but that it played a crucial role in shaping the modern world. Southeast Asia’s interaction with the forces uniting and transforming the world is explored through chapters focusing on Islamization; Chinese, Siamese, Cham and Javanese trade; Makasar’s modernizing moment; and slavery. The last three chapters examine from different perspectives how this interaction of relative equality shifted to one of an impoverished, “third world” region exposed to European colonial power.
The driving force of Minangkabau history arises from the struggle to build a balanced social order on a convergence of seemingly contradictory social and cultural aspects. From the time when Islam was conceived as a pillar of the Minangkabau world, the history of Minangkabau has been dominated by an effort to attain an acceptable equilibrium between the doctrine of a universal religion and the wisdom and ideals of the pre-existing pillar, the indigenous element or adat. The idea that Islam is an inseparable part of Minangkabau has generated constant internal struggle. A traditional notion that ideas which came from the outside world (the rantau) might endanger the foundation of Minangkabau o...
The capability approach of Martha Nussbaum and Amartya Sen places human capabilities at the centre stage of discussions about justice, equality, development and the quality of life. It rejects too much emphasis on mere preference satisfaction or resource provision and highlights the importance of human agency and freedom. This approach has already significantly influenced different fields of application, such as economics and development studies. Only recently have scholars started to explore its relevance for and application to the area of technology and design, which can be crucial factors in the expansion of human capabilities. How does technology influence human capabilities? What difference could a capability approach make to policies and practices of applying ICT in development processes in the South? How can we criticize and improve the design of technology from the perspective of the capability approach? The authors of this volume explore the implications of the capability approach for technology & design and together create the first volume on this emerging topic.
