In order to understand religion thought which is transcendental, community needs religious symbol. Religious symbol contains several codes that can be interpreted socially and culturally. Television as an industry produces religious code as a comodity. Religious comodity then being used as a strategy to widen its viewer. Relation between those conditions can lead to a new mass culture and symbolic religiosity. In mass society, religion turns into an entertainment instead of guidance. In the end, religion in social life will be practiced by consuming religious symbol only. This condition shows the lack of religious spirituality. Where, religion without spirituality only leaves ritual. [Artikel ini akan membahas relasi agama dan simbol keagamaan dalam era industri media televisi di Indonesia. Untuk menghayati ajaran agama yang bersifat transenden masyarakat membu...

Enam hal tersebut—kendati terpisah, tetapi sesungguhnya saling terhubung dan terkait menjadi satu hal yang kompleks dan dinamis. Buku yang ada di tangan pembaca ini merupakan refleksi akademik dan refleksi empiris saya terhadap keilmuan komunikasi, khususnya Media Relations. Sebagai pengajar mata kuliah Media Relations, saya merasakan mahasiswa dan dosen perlu literatur yang ditulis dari sebuah refleksi akademik dan empiris tersebut. Berbagai diskusi saya di kelas dengan mahasiswa turut pula memberi motivasi untuk menulis buku ini. Karenanya, saya ingin menyampaikan terima kasih pada mahasiswa dan segenap kolega saya di Program Studi Ilmu Komunikasi, Fakultas Ilmu Sosial dan Human...

Agama dikomodifikasi sedemikian rupa untuk menghasilkan profit bagi industri televisi. Sebagian jama'ah Masjid Fathul Qorib yang menonton sinetron religius menjadikan muatan yang tersaji dalam sinetron religius tersebut tidak hanya memberi hiburan, tetapi mampu memberi manfaat untuk menambah pengetahuan keislaman mereka dan sebagai rujukan bagi sikap hidup dalam konteks keagamaan mereka.

Masih banyak kalangan, terutama mahasiswa ilmu komunikasi di berbagai perguruan tinggi Islam kesulitan untuk memahaminya. Beberapa pandangan awal menilai komunikasi profetik sebagai komunikasi Islam, sebagian lain memahaminya sebagai komunikasi dakwah. Padahal, filosofi dan metode keilmuan keduanya sama sekali berbeda. Berbagai literatur yang membahas khusus komunikasi profetik secara komprehensif juga tidak ditemukan. Komunikasi profetik merupakan suatu tawaran bagi pengembangan keilmuan baru dalam tradisi ilmu komunikasi yang luas, bersifat multiperspektif, multidimensional, dan multidisiplin ilmu pengetahuan. Atas dasar pemikiran dan pertimbangan tersebut, buku ini disusun sehingga penulisan buku ini setidaknya memiliki dua tujuan pokok. Pertama, ikhtiar pengembangan keilmuan dalam tradisi ilmu komunikasi berbasis integrasi dan interkoneksi. Kedua, bahan ajar Komunikasi Profetik sebagai ...

Simulation of mystic in mystical-religious ‘Rahasia Ilahi’ television movie, broadcasted by TPI, ... more Simulation of mystic in mystical-religious ‘Rahasia Ilahi’ television movie, broadcasted by TPI, is the main focus of this article. Simulation is a thought from Jean Baudrillard (1929- 2007) about production of media text which does not have any reality background. Theoretically, a simulation ended when human, as the subject, has no control over sign, as the object, which in the end, the both merge and turn into a new reality. The merger of the subject and the object mark the emergence of an implosion. Implosion is an inward explosion as a result of the merger of several thoughts through simulation practice. Mystical simulation in ‘Rahasia Ilahi’ television movie could deliver a new and shallow meaning of religious because it had set off from the truth of text and reality as the context. The new meaning could be that the image of God is cruel. There could also be newmeaning of religiosity that faith is constructed by fear, not by the truth of the religious thought. Thereby, simulati...

MUI’s perspective is of utmost importance as MUI is seen as playing an important role in triggering the 212 Movement, which was carried out as a protest against the perceived religious blasphemy committed by the Jakarta Special Capital Region Governor at the time, Basuki Tjahaja Purnama (Ahok). MUI’s fatwa on Ahok subsequently led to a disagreement in defending religion or defending the state, and it had been openly and unrestrictedly debated among netizens on social media. Social media activities (chiefly Twitter) relating to this case had positioned MUI’s fatwa in numerous discussions that were littered with various expressions of hatred. This article aims to contribute a novel understanding pertaining to the relations between religion, ulema, fatwa, and s...

The Twitter conversations data used in this analysis were obtained through a Twitter thread reader application operated by DEA (Drone Emprit Academic). As a political category, hatred is considered new. It emerged as and became a conversational topic for netizens on Twitter due to various political promises President Joko Widodo has made during his campaign and has not fulfilled. Political hatred has spread extensively owing to Twitter leading to absolute freedom of expression. On Twitter, political hatred has increased because of two main clusters during the 2019 Presidential Election campaign. The two clusters represent two pairs of presidential and vice-presidential candidates, namely Joko Widodo-Ma’ruf Amin (Number 01/JKW-MA) and Prabowo Subianto-Sandiaga Uno (Number 02/PS-SU). This study may have implications on broader hatred-based pol...

Media dianggap berperan menyebarkan nilai kebebasan dan kesetaraan kepada masyarakat, sehingga orang menyadari akan hakhaknya. Harapan masyarakat begitu tinggi terhadap peran media, sehingga orang berharap bahwa media bisa menjadi pelopor budaya yang berkualitas dan memberi informasi yang kredibel. Harapan itu menciptakan idealisme dalam masyarakat agar media menjadi sarana pendidikan kritis, mandiri, dengan pemikiran yang dalam. Dengan demikian media mampu meningkatkan mutu debat publik dan kematangan politik warga negara. Semua harapan dan idealisme peran media itu dibongkar oleh Iswandi Syahputra, penulis buku Rezim Media ini. Optimisme terhadap peran media, terutama televisi, dipertanyakan, bahkan didemistifikasi. Pragmatisme media, yang tecermin dalam mengejar rating demi keuntungan finansial, memaksa media mengadopsi logika pasar yang diidentikkan dengan hal-hal yang sensasional dan spektakuler. Akibatnya, med...

Selama mengabdi sebagai dosen dan peneliti, berbagai interaksi saya dengan mahasiswa, kolega, dan pegawai turut mempengaruhi pikiran saya. Sebagai kampus besar yang melahirkan banyak pemikir besar, UIN Sunan Kalijaga tentu tidak saja mempengaruhi jalan pikiran saya, tetapi juga jalan pemikiran bangsa Indonesia. Mereka dibesarkan oleh UIN Sunan Kalijaga, dan saat ini UIN Sunan Kalijaga juga telah menghantarkan saya sebagai salah satu Guru Besar. Walau merasa bangga, tapi sejujurnya saya merasa bukan siapa-siapa dibanding para tokoh besar yang telah dilahirkan oleh UIN Sunan Kalijaga. Saya hanya dosen biasa yang melangkah di jalan takdir yang kuasa. Sebagai dosen biasa, saya juga memiliki keinginan menyumbangkan pemikiran saya untuk bangsa dan negara Indonesia yang lahir batin saya cintai sepenuh jiwa dan raga.

The discussion on hoax logic explores four elements of social media logic proposed by José Van Dijck and Thomas Poell (2013). Research data was obtained by observing conversations of netizens considered as opinion makers on Twitter and from survey results about hoax along with netizen conversations. This study found that hoaxes are disseminated by using political buzzers as well as bots that are mutually connected and stimulate one another. Hoax logic can subsequently be accepted as truth. This study may help us understand hoaxes within the context of netizens’ political activities on social media. However, as a political category, this study may have implications on the obscure boundaries between hoax, satire and criticism that netizens convey to the government on social media, particularly Twitter.

Pesatnya perkembangan teknologi komunikasi telah memberi pengaruh terhadap perubahan berbagai relasi, termasuk relasi korporasi atau institusi dengan industri media. Media di sini kemudian tidak lagi sederhana dimaknai dengan cara pandang lama sebagai media massa. Perubahan tersebut telah menghantarkan relasi baru karena kehadiran media baru. Kehadiran media sosial sebagai salah satu bentuk media baru telah memberi pengaruh terhadap terciptanya opini warga melalui berbagai platform seperti twitter, facebook atau instagram. Kuatnya opini netizen melalui media sosial tersebut bukan saja penting bagi korporasi atau institusi, tapi kerap pula menjadi sumber berita media massa konvensional.

The relationship between ulama, religious teachings, and the ummah (Muslim community/the public) undoubtedly undergoes constant changes. In the current era of new media, this relationship experiences mediatization of differing features compared to past era of traditional media. The era of new media ushered in participative, open, interactive characteristics encouraging development of virtual communities, and interconnectedness, consequently positioning ulama in two particular positions. Firstly, ulama have full control over the contents they intend to post and the choice of whom they wish to communicate with on social media. Secondly, due to the aforementioned characteristics of social media, ulama who actively post religious contents on social media had come to experience cyberstalking. Despite having to endur...
