Abstract

Indonesia as a post-authoritarian democratic country has made impressive progress in its democratic transition. However, there is a significant contradiction in the democratic process, particularly in policy and law-making. This study aims to discuss democratic deconsolidation contributing to the ratification of the Omnibus Law on Job Creation in Indonesia. Applying the qualitative method by using academic literature, news analysis, and official government documents, the first research finding shows that the accumulation of Joko Widodo's political power has affected the quality of debate and the agreement during the deliberation of the Omnibus Law in the parliament. Secondly, the opaque process limiting public participation has narrowed the space for the democratic mobilization of the citizens. Thirdly, the increasing number of retired armed forces in domestic affairs has resulted in the dual function of military power in securing the country and the economic development agenda. The study shows that the deconsolidation of democracy has contributed to the ratification of the Omnibus Law on Job Creation which was deliberated through a non-transparent mechanism.

Abstract

Arabization is not always identically carried out by immigrants of Arab descent, but non-Arab communities can carry out the Arabization process. This study aims to explain the Arabization process by the Jamaah Tabligh (JT) group by establishing the Kampung Madinah of Temboro Village. This study collects qualitative data through observation, interviews, and a literature study with descriptive analysis. The findings show that the existence of JT in Temboro Village has resulted in a shift in community culture from secular to religious. The role of the JT leadership became an emerging factor in the Arabization process in forming a religious society. Likewise, JT's persuasive approach through education and religious activities facilitates public acceptance. The naming of Kampung Madinah in Temboro is driven by various Arabic symbols used, e.g., daily conversations, activities, and clothes. The existence of JT succeeds in constructing Temboro people's habits into “Islamic habits.” This study is limited to Kampung Madinah in Temboro as a research focus; therefore, it is recommended that further researchers conduct comparative studies on the Arabization process.

Abstract

In utilizing the Halodoc application, there is a communication gap between direct speech communication and communication through the application. This research attempts to examine this problem and propose an alternative solution in the form of emoji humanization through the qualitative method and Roland Barthes' semiotic approach. The result of the research shows that Heidy's emoji structure is indeed synonymous with the Halodoc logo. Meanwhile, according to the connotative analysis, the emoji visualization characters are identical to today's human characters. This character is characterized by expressions and facial expressions that look cheerful and friendly. This study concludes that there are several indicators of success in composing humanist emojis and still referencing the main logo identity. In the principle of emoji design, structurally it must be dominated by a shape similar to the original logo. The addition of mimics, expressions, limb movements, and body movements itself must represent the true expressions of humans who provide health-ordering services. Thus, emojis are more attractive, interactive, and communicative. This intimacy between users and humanist emojis may strengthen customer trust in the services.

Abstract

Three possibilities can occur when religion enters a society already having its own culture and traditions: acceptance, rejection, and adjustment. This study analyzed the socio-religiosity of the Kalang people, a minority ethnic group in Kendal, following the arrival of Islam into their lives. Highlighting how they practiced their worship and presented their identity in the majority of Muslim society, this research is intended to find the socio-religious practices of the Dukun (shaman) Kalang as a representation of Kalang people and unveil her critical roles in the Kalang socio-cultural system, such as leading every ritual activity, and being a source of knowledge about Kalang teachings and other mystical information about ancestral spirits. Applying the qualitative method, the results showed that the Kalang shaman's religiosity model symbolized the way of religion without losing faith in indigenous culture and traditions. This spiritual adaptation model, in the perspective of symbolic interaction, can be interpreted as a form of resistance and as a strategy to maintain the cultural identity of the minority amid the threat of extinction due to the penetration of major ideologies, including mainstream religions.

Abstract

The dilemma of bisexual identity not only brings existential problems for their identity but also their livelihood. This article focused on the pandemic time and showed the challenges and strategies of Christian bisexual groups to maintain their livelihoods before and after the pandemic. This article aimed to expose the strategy of livelihood among the persons having social stigma in sexual orientation in a heteronormative hegemonic system such as Indonesia. Applying a qualitative method with a case study of two Christian bisexuals, this study showed two main findings: first, gender and bisexual orientation have an impact on rejection, oppression, and job transfer in the period before and after the pandemic due to unequal power relations in heteronormative structures. These power relations also lead to the neglect of non-heteronormative contributions to the informal sector in a heteronormative economic structure. Secondly, bisexual individuals developed a particular resilience strategy during a pandemic, one of which is by utilizing informal networks with non-heteronormative groups. Another finding is the influence of religion which simultaneously provides support and oppression to the livelihoods of non-heteronormative groups.

Abstract

Through its Corporate Social and Environmental Responsibility (CSER), the company actively contributes to addressing social vulnerability issues in communities. However, when we know that companies are financially impacted, it is interesting to do research on the motivation of companies in providing CSER funds, especially State-Owned Enterprises (SOE), continue to run their CSER programs, whether it is merely an obligation due to regulatory orders or whether there are other motives. This research was conducted from the perspective of the sociology of law. The result shows that the obligation of CSER in several regulations is not merely the lawgiver's desires but comes from social awareness, given that kinship has existed for a long time. Even though there are no explicit restrictions addressing requirements or sanctions to implement CSER in the SOE Law, SOEs in the mining sector demonstrate their commitment to social awareness by continuing to carry out their CSER program in 2020 and 2021.

Abstract

The expansion of oil palm plantations has contradictory impacts on traditional communities, such as the Marind-Anim. On the one hand, the operationalization of oil palm plantations provides space for the community to participate in national economic development. On the other hand, oil palm plantations with their various instruments, have forced them to relinquish their customary land. The flow of global economic power through oil palm plantations seems to have dragged a traditional community such as the Marind-Anim to the brink of collapse. This study aims to trace the narrative of oil palm expansion in the Marind-Anim areas and examines the encounter between the indigenous Marind-Anim community and the global economic forces. This study uses a qualitative research method with an ethnographic approach aiming to explore the encounter of the Marind-Anim indigenous community with the global economic forces at the intersection areas. The results show that the function of sago land as an economic foundation is decreasing due to the global economic pressures from the monoculture oil palm plantations because the Marind-Anim indigenous land has become a frontier area for global economic expansion aiming to supply the global food demand. At the same time, the sago plantation as a safety valve for the traditional economy and local food security has been reduced by oil palm plantations.
