NYAI DAN UMI DALAM TRADISI PESANTREN DI JAWA DAN DAYAH DI ACEH:ACHIEVED DAN DERIVATIVE POWER
ABSTRACT: Pesantren as well as
other traditional Islamic education institutions such as dayah used to be
portrayed as an institution that set up particular boundaries on women’s public
roles. The leadership system applied in the given institutions is also
apparently patriarchal; in which man use to be prioritized in the succession of
pesantren or dayah leadership. Besides, some discourses of the text books or literatures
taught tend to absorb some patriarchal values. Nevertheless, beyond its
patriarchal images, indeed there are still some spaces for women’s agency
either in the pesantren or dayah – that would include the leadership system or
even beyond. This will be feasible either through a ‘derivative power’ when the
status is inherited or ‘achieved power’; when personal struggle is dominant to
achieve it.
