Islam Mataraman dan Orientasi Politiknya dalam Sejarah Pemilu di Indonesia
Abstract: This paper deals
with a cultural fraction of the Javanese Muslim called Islam Mataraman.
Historically Islam Mataraman originated from the Islam that flourished during
the era of the Mataram Kingdom in an inland Javanese island. This paper tries
to explore the unique characters of this group of the Javanese Muslims that
distinguish them from others culturally and politically. It maintains that
Islam Mataraman is not only about culture, politics or belief, but also about
the integration between them all. Integration is the key word in this paper.
The paper also tries to show that in integration process, religion is not
always the key player. In fact we are not interested in discussing the winner
and the looser in this process. We are rather interested in showing that the
integration is unique and complicated process, and that Islam in this part of
Java is a perfect model of how religion, culture and politics can converge
without there being a sense of domination or marginalization. To carry out its
task, the paper will consult not only the local authoritative scholars in this
field, but also the international experts so as to have a balanced view of the
problem. At the end, we will also try to discuss how this integration imply on
the political attitudes of the Muslim Mataraman.
