Lebih dari 50 tahun yang lalu catatan harian itu dianalisis, dan dibukukan. Mungkin kita bisa menyebut catatan ini sebagai catatan tentang konflik, antara santri, abangan, dan priyayi—di dalamnya ada percekcokan, ketegangan, pertentangan dalam suatu kehidupan sosial.

Tetapi nyatanya mereka tidak melakukan sesuatu yang pantas dihormati, karena tempat suci yang sebenarnya adalah di dalam batin. Saya naik haji ke situ. Tak ada perlunya kita naik haji ke kota Mekah kalau kita bisa menemani Tuhan di dalam batin sendiri. Antagonisme seperti itu, seperti telah di-introduksi sang penulis dengan mengutip Schrieke dalam Indonesian Sociological Studies The Hague and Bandung, , telah ada sejak masa pertikaian antara kerajaan Mataram di Jawa Tengah dan kerajaan-kerajaan pantai utara, paling tidak sejak abad keenam belas dan ketujuh belas.

Priyayi dan santri tak sepakat dalam banyak hal dan petani memendam benci terhadap aristokrat yang eksploitatif serta kaum pedagang santri.

Mengenai campuran ini Dr. Seorang abangan yang, kalau kiita baurkan kemungkinan, berhasil di bidang usaha, sangat mungkin memandang segala sesuatu menurut cara santri sampai suatu tingkat tertentu, meskipun mereka tidak sembahyang.

Geertz sendiri memberi kesan kategori-kategori yang tegas dalam memberi judul tiap-tiap istilah tersebut dan membahasnya secara keseluruhan dalam konflik maupun integrasinya. Hal lain adalah bahwa tidak berarti bahwa ketiga golongan itu merupakan kategori-kategori dari satu tipe klasifikasi: antara abangan dan santri lebih kepada perilaku keagamaan, dan priyayi adalah suatu kelas sosial tertentu—seorang priyayi, maka dari itu, adalah seorang santri bila taat agama, dan abangan bila sebaliknya.

Tentu masa kini telah berbeda dengan 50 tahun yang lalu. Kini seorang anak petani, yang lekat dengan abangan ala Geertz, yang pintar, dapat saja kemudian menjadi seorang pejabat tinggi BUMN atau menteri, seorang priyayi, bahkan santri yang taat agama sekaligus.

Kita membaca tetralogi Laskar Pelangi dan takjub bahwa seorang anak pendulang timah miskin yang tak bisa aksara mampu menamatkan studi sampai ke Paris. Masa depan makin tak bisa ditebak. Dan hidup dan nasib, kata seorang ilmuwan, kadang tampak berantakan, misterius, fantastis, dan sporadis.

Jun 06, Individualfrog rated it really liked it Shelves: pagan-roots , secret-research , enormous-enveloping-books. A wide-ranging look at the fascinatingly diverse syncretic melange of religion in Java. Inevitably the most interesting part to me was at the beginning, about the "folk" religion Geertz calls the abangan strain.

Later chapters on the santri , more self-consciously Muslim, strain which is as much about political party organization as religious practice and prijaji , aristocratic mystic tradition which gets into linguistic levels of politeness, interestingly similar to Japanese which I speak some A wide-ranging look at the fascinatingly diverse syncretic melange of religion in Java. Later chapters on the santri , more self-consciously Muslim, strain which is as much about political party organization as religious practice and prijaji , aristocratic mystic tradition which gets into linguistic levels of politeness, interestingly similar to Japanese which I speak somewhat, and is rather vague about the actual mysticism are also interesting but less immediately so.

Plenty to ponder. Now I want one about Bali, which maybe will have less of the strangeness of culture heroes who brought Islam as well as the wayang and batik dyeing to Java, but perhaps therefore more of the so-called 'folk religion' which I find so satisfying and interesting. Feb 19, Kathleen rated it it was amazing. First book I read on Indonesia as an undergraduate student Buku ini menarik, tetapi bahasanya cukup sulit dicerna. Selain memaparkan apa yang ditemui oleh penulis di Modjokuto, buku ini juga dilengkapi dengan dua esei kritik yang dilampirkan di bagian belakang buku.

Beberapa pembahasan yang saya anggap menarik selama membaca buku ini meliputi: danyang hlm. Sebetulnya banyak pembahasan yang lain, tetapi kurang atau tidak menarik bagi saya. Kutipan yang saya anggap menarik. Pulau [Jawa] itu lebih lama mengalami peradaban daripada Inggris yang selama lebih dari tahun telah menyaksikan orang-orang India, Arab, Cina, Portugis serta Belanda, datang dan pergi. Tentang Obat Asli Indonesia.

Still a great reference for a deconstruction of Javanese society and how much has or has not changed in 65 years. The grouping of peasant abangan , religious urban merchant class santri, and urban aristocrats priyayi may seem simplistic. But Clifford Geertz, in several places throughout the book, provided a caveat that the interactions and conflicts among and within the three groups were quite dynamic.

In addition, recent research also shows this I reread this book after a couple of decades. In addition, recent research also shows this division is largely universal in other societies. What is interesting for me is to read this book against today's political development in Indonesia, esp.

First, the santri group has become more diversified and strong at the same time. The traditional division between conservative NU and modern and progressive Muhammadiyah has seen competition from new and more politically militant groups in the past 30 years, among others from the Justice and Welfare Party PKS. These new strands of santri are making headway at the expense of the abangan group, especially since the abangan group is becoming more urban and exposed to modern but more fundamental Islamic movements.

And the political battleground is increasingly fought on the basis of these identities. What kind of Indonesians are we? And if we're Moslem, what kind of Moslem? It's easy to be skeptical and think that the Islamists are making rapid strides. But these movements are also very diversified across different shades of ideology.

Clifford Geertz. University of Chicago Press , 15 Feb - halaman. Written with a rare combination of analysis and speculation, this comprehensive study of Javanese religion is one of the few books on the religion of a non-Western people which emphasizes variation and conflict in belief as well as similarity and harmony. The reader becomes aware of the intricacy and depth of Javanese spiritual life and the problems of political and social integration reflected in the religion. The Religion of Java will interest specialists in Southeast Asia, anthropologists and sociologists concerned with the social analysis of religious belief and ideology, students of comparative religion, and civil servants dealing with governmental policy toward Indonesia and Southeast Asia.
