Lines in Water

When asked to distinguish between different faiths, Mughal prince Dara Shikoh is said to have replied, “How do you draw a line in water?” Inspired by this question, the essays in this volume illustrate how ordinary people in South Asia and the diaspora negotiate their religious identities and encounters in creative, complex, and diverse ways. Taking the approach that narratives “from below” provide the richest insight into the dynamics of religious pluralism, the authors examine life histories, oral traditions, cartographic practices, pilgrimage rites, and devotional music and songs. Drawing on both ethnographic and historical data, they illuminate how, like lines in water, religious boundaries are dynamic, fluid, flexible, and permeable rather than permanently fixed, frozen, and inviolable. A distinct feature of the volume is its proposition of a fresh and innovative typology of boundary dynamics. Boundaries may be attractive or porous, firmly drawn or transcended. Attractive boundaries invite confluence while affirming the differences between self and other, whereas permeable boundaries facilitate exchanges that create new identities and in turn form new lines. Although people may recognize the significance of religious borders, they can choose to transcend them. Throughout this volume, the authors highlight the fascinating range of South Asian religious and cultural traditions.

Sexuality and New Religious Movements

Issues relating to sexuality, eroticism and gender are often connected to religious beliefs and practices, but also to prejudices against and fear of religious groups that adopt alternative approaches to sexuality. This is especially apparent in connection with new religious movements, which many times find themselves accused by the media and anti-cultists of promoting illicit and controversial views on sexuality. This anthology aims to critically investigate the role of sexuality in a number of new religious movements, including Mormon fundamentalist communities, the Branch Davidians, the Osho movement, the Raël movement, contemporary Wicca and Satanism, in addition to the teachings of Adidam and Gurdjieff on sexuality.

Pemikiran dan Praktik Ekonomi Islam Sejak Masa Nabi Muhammad SAW. Hingga Masa Kontemporer

Ekonomi Islam yang telah kembali ke kancah ekonomi saat ini, bukanlah hal baru dan tiba-tiba muncul tanpa landasan yang jelas. Karena suatu konsep pemikiran dan teoretis yang telah dapat dipraktikkan pastilah hadir dan berlangsung secara bertahap dalam periode dan tahapan tertentu dan bukan muncul secara tiba-tiba. Melalui buku yang sederhana ini penulis berusaha menemukan kembali jejak-jejak kebenaran sejarah yang menjelaskan periode dan fase munculnya konsep-konsep pemikiran ekonomi Islam secara teoritis dan praktis yang telah diterapkan sebagai suatu ekonomi berbasis syariah Islam. Pemikiran dan praktik tersebut sengaja diabaikan oleh sejarah dan sarjana pemikir barat sebagai akibat ketidakmampuan kapitalisme dan sosialisme dalam memberikan solusi atas permasalahan sosial ekonomi dalam perekonomian dunia. Buku ini mengupas tentang sejarah pemikiran ekonomi Islam di era klasik dimulai dari masa Nabi Muhammad SAW berada di Madinah hingga masa pemerintahan khulafaurrasyidin, hingga masa kontemporer serta ekonomi Islam di Indonesia beserta penerapannya.
