Abstract

This research is about temporary marriage in the areas of Cisarua and Jakarta. The Islamic discourse in the Arabic culture views temporary marriage as positive to avoid promiscuity (zina). This research indicates that the practice of temporary marriage is manipulation of religion and degradation of Indonesian women. The dominance of Arabic culture in Cisarua influenced the subjectivity and sexuality of women in Indonesia. Respect for the identity of Indonesian women have faded because Indonesian cultural values are not upheld, overpowered by Arabic-patriachal culture and the fact that poverty is still an issue. Temporary marriage is basically prostitution legalized under the pretext of religion. Temporary marriage and siri marriage cannot be distinguished because both exploits the female body.

Abstract

This paper investigates stereotype of first ladies and image being built during 2014 Indonesia presidential election. Wives of candidates in the election are highly accomplished as well as being graduated from universities, yet these facts are not exposed adequately in the media as part of public education on equality. Most of the time, they are being posited as faithful-partner and bold-supporter of their husbands/ partners. Interviews held by the media frequently narrate the drama within the house, family, and their romance. Their career and professionalism are being hidden from the public. Platform of empowerment and gender equality are highly cultivated, promoted, and campained by political-parties as well as NGOs, yet missed the wives to be involved. The capacity of the presidential candidate’s wives on gender, equality and women’s empowerment platforms designed by the political parties need to be promoted and scrutinized.

Abstract

This paper explores feminist pedagogy from the author’s experience, working as both an academic and activist in the women’s movement. The author does not separate pedagogy from personal experiences inside and outside the classroom. Feminist educators have a passion for their teaching and demand change. They demand confrontations and interruptions. This paper is an adventure in self-reflection of how the author’s experience as an activist affect teachings in the classrooms and how as an academic impact the public space. Many changes are needed in Indonesia’s higher education system, one of which makes the campus as a safe place, free from harassment and sexual violence, and diversity in sexual orientation.

Abstract

This study examines the role of women prawn farmers in Dipasena, East Rawajitu District, Tulang Bawang, Lampung and what it means for human development in Indonesia.
