Funded Activity Summary

Religion and Spirituality in the Contemporary World: An Indonesian Case Study. Religious extremism in Indonesia became a major security concern for Australia after the Bali bombing. Research thus focused on the networks of small and rather marginal Islamic radical groups such as Jemaah Islamiyah (JI), while the broader national and international trends that give rise to this and other, more moderate and popular new forms of religiosity remained unexplored. This emphasis on extremism contributed to a stereotyping of Islam as intransigent, and of multi-ethnic and multi-religious Indonesia as an Islamic nation. The current project will deliver a more balanced appraisal of the impact of resurging religiosity in our region by focusing on the pluralistic and relativistic religious attitudes more representative of Indonesian society today.
