Beyond counter narratives : why Indonesia needs a prosecutorial turn on online extremism
Prakoso Permono; Nauval El Ghifari (Rajaratnam School of International Studies (RSIS), 2026-05-26)
Counter-narratives, content blocking and removal, and digital literacy are insufficient to address the root causes of online radicalisation and violent extremist content. Law enforcement in Indonesia against those who produce and disseminate harmful content has proven to be inadequate. The authorities should recalibrate their approach to addressing violent extremism online.
Does The Legacy of Colonialism Define Islamism? Analyzing Hallaq’s Critique of Islamic Political Modernity
Ahmad, Danyal; Kalwar, Manzoor Ahmed; Khan, Hafiza Sana Rehman; Kalwar, Bashir Ahmed (Faculty of Islamic Studies, Universitas Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta, 2025-12-26)
This paper critically examines Wael Hallaq’s argument that contemporary Islamist movements are structurally shaped by colonial modernity and that the modern Islamic state is a hybrid formation rooted in Western political epistemologies rather than an extension of classical Islamic governance. While compelling, these framing risks underemphasize the heterogeneity, agency, and adaptive capacities of Muslim reformist actors. Using Fairclough’s Critical Discourse Analysis and a decolonial framework, the study interrogates the ideological and epistemic assumptions underlying Hallaq’s “impossibility thesis.” The textual analysis reveals that his lexical, modal, and metaphorical choices construct a narrative of structural closure that minimizes reformist creativity. In contrast, the discursive-practice analysis shows how his arguments circulate within Western academic paradigms, which can unintentionally reinforce epistemic hierarchies. The socio-ideological analysis demonstrates that, although Hallaq exposes the colonial genealogy of the modern state, his emphasis on rupture sometimes obscures how Islamist movements creatively reinterpret shūrā (consultation), maṣlaḥah (public interest), and khilāfah (caliphate), within contemporary political contexts. The findings argue for a more nuanced account of Islamic political agency and situate Islamism within broader debates on decolonial praxis, epistemic plurality, and emerging frameworks such as Islamic multiple modernities, ethical-political subjectivity, and multi-scalar engagements with state power.
Narrating commitment, deferring compliance : symbolic temporality in global environmental governance
Moch Faisal Karim; Thaís Simões Dória (Springer Nature, 2026-05-13)
How do states remain credible participants in global environmental governance despite persistent gaps between environmental commitments and their implementation? Existing scholarship often treats such inconsistencies as failures of credibility or compliance. This article advances an alternative explanation. It argues that states manage enduring contradictions not by resolving them at the level of policy outcomes, but by narratively sequencing them through storylines that render contradiction intelligible and politically productive. Building on narrative studies in International Relations, we introduce the concept of symbolic temporality to capture how political actors deploy symbolic acts within storylines that link past grievances, present constraints, and future aspirations. Through this sequencing, contradiction is reframed as a temporally staged process of deferral. The argument is developed through a comparative analysis of Brazil and Indonesia; two Global South states that face expectations to lead on environmental governance while navigating significant developmental constraints. The analysis draws on a large corpus of elite foreign policy discourse in both countries, spanning multiple decades. This article forms part of the debate on Narratives in Times of Uncertainty and contributes to debates on narrative productivity by theorizing symbolic temporality and showing how symbolic commitments sustain agency and legitimacy without immediate policy implementation.
Cultivating reflective Islam : ngaji filsafat and eclectic religious expressions among urban Muslim Youth in digitalizing Indonesia
Bhirawa Anoraga; Najib Kailani; Aflahal Misbah (Universitas Islam Negeri Sultan Maulana Hasanuddin Banten, 2026-02-25)
This study investigates the growing popularity of Ngaji Filsafat, a phenomenon cultivating a reflective Islam that offers an alternative study group for young Muslims in Yogyakarta and beyond. This mosque-based gathering eschews conventional texts like the Qur’an, instead exploring ideas from thinkers both Muslim and non-Muslim, from Greek philosophers to contemporary intellectuals. Its rise presents an anomaly within the conservative-turn thesis, given its broad appeal and promotion of pluralist teachings. Drawing on observations and in-depth interviews with initiators and attendees, the study finds its appeal lies not in aspirations for heightened piety or religious activism. Rather, for urban Muslim youth, it functions as a space offering interpretive resources for navigating everyday challenges within a neoliberal context. These findings highlight the need for alternative frameworks, beyond piety-centered or conservative-pluralist paradigms, to understand diverse Islamic expressions in digitalizing post–New Order Indonesia. Furthermore, against scholarship emphasizing the state’s coercive role in civic pluralism, this study illuminates how non-state actors mainstream pluralist Islamic engagements.
Pemantauan Iklim Mikro di Perpustakaan Universitas Indonesia
Muhammad Asyep Syam'aeni; Tamara Adriani Salim (Perpustakaan Universitas Gadjah Mada, 2025-07-04)
Preservasi koleksi perpustakaan, terutama yang berbahan dasar organik seperti kertas dan kulit, merupakan tantangan penting dalam pengelolaan informasi. Faktor-faktor lingkungan seperti suhu dan kelembapan relatif yang tidak terkendali dapat mempercepat degradasi koleksi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis kondisi iklim mikro di ruang koleksi naskah Perpustakaan Universitas Indonesia (UI) untuk mengevaluasi risiko terhadap preservasi koleksi. Pemantauan suhu dan kelembapan relatif dilakukan secara kontinu selama satu bulan menggunakan data logger di ruang koleksi naskah Perpustakaan UI. Data yang diperoleh dianalisis untuk menghitung nilai Equivalent Lifetime Multiplier (eLM), sebuah indeks yang mengukur dampak suhu terhadap umur koleksi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa suhu rata-rata di ruang koleksi adalah 28,1°C, dengan kelembapan relatif rata-rata 70,2%. Nilai eLM yang diperoleh adalah 0,209, menunjukkan bahwa koleksi berisiko tinggi mengalami degradasi dengan umur efektif hanya 20,9% dari umur idealnya. Fluktuasi suhu dan kelembapan yang signifikan juga teramati selama periode pemantauan, terutama saat sistem HVAC tidak beroperasi. Kesimpulannya, kondisi iklim mikro di ruang koleksi naskah Perpustakaan UI tidak ideal untuk preservasi jangka panjang koleksi, dengan suhu dan kelembapan yang tinggi serta fluktuasi yang mempercepat degradasi. Penelitian ini merekomendasikan optimalisasi sistem HVAC, monitoring lingkungan berkelanjutan, dan penelitian lebih lanjut untuk mengembangkan strategi mitigasi yang efektif
