Tradisi, Ekonomi-Politik, dan Toleransi Yogyakarta
Abstract: This article aims to
illustrate that cultural reproduction is always in the interplay with politic
and economic system within societal structure.
Therefore, the effort
to understand the
meaning of cultural symbol
has to be
accompanied by the
attempt to explore the
political and economic
interests that shape
the cultural practices. The
Yogyakarta people undoubtedly
perceive religion practices as
more than cultural
practices. The article will
demonstrate that dispute
in religious matters
have never become the
main trigger of
conf lict between religious
groups. In most cases, the tension is driven by the clash of political
and economic interests between
the dominant and
non-dominant groups. Thus, acknowledging
the political-economic interests helps us
to understand the
ways in which
we can further promote religious tolerance while
remain aware of the possibility to
produce the counterproductive results.
