"Wacana tentang slametan dalam masyarakat Muslim Surinam keturunan Jawa di Belanda sesungguhnya, di satu sisi, merepresentasikan sebuah pertarungan identitas kultural keagamaan di antara mereka dan, di sisi lain, menunjukkan sebuah hubungan yang kompleks antara Islam ‘resmi’ dengan tradisi Jawa. Tulisan ini membuktikan bahwa praktek slametan dalam masyarakat Muslim Surinam keturunan Jawa di Belanda ternyata hampir tidak mengalami perubahan. Perubahan yang ada hanya berkaitan dengan aksesoris upacara sebagai akibat dari penyesuaian terhadap kondisi geografis dan iklim setempat. Hal ini tidak ada artinya dibandingkan dengan antusiasme yang sangat besar --khususnya bagi kelompok masyarakat Muslim Kejawen untuk melestarikan semua warisan budaya dari pendahulu mereka yang adalah orang Jawa. Tulisan ini pada akhirnya menunjukkan adanya pertarungan identitas antara kelompok Muslim Kejawen yang bangga dengan “agama jawa”-nya dan kelompok moderat dan reformis yang ingin menjadi Muslim yang sebenarnya."

"Throughout Western society there are now strong pressures for social and racial integration but, in spite of these, recent experience has shown that greater intergroup contact can actually reinforce social distinctions and ethnic stereotypes. The studies collected here examine, from a broad sociological perspective, the sorts of face-to-face verbal exchange that are characteristic of industrial societies, and the volume as a whole pointedly demonstrates the role played by communicative phenomena in establishing and reinforcing social identity. The method of analysis that has been adopted enables the authors to reveal and examine a centrally important but hitherto little discussed conversational mechanism: the subconscious processes of inference that result from situational factors, social presuppositions and discourse conventions. The theory of conversation and the method of analysis that inform the author's approach are discussed in the first two chapters, and the case studies themselves examine interviews, counselling sessions and similar formal exchanges involving contacts between a wide range of different speakers: South Asians, West Indians and native English speakers in Britain; English natives and Chinese in South-East Asia; Afro-Americans, Asians and native English speakers in the United States; and English and French speakers in Canada. The volume will be of importance to linguists, anthropologists, psychologists, and others with a professional interest in communication, and its findings will have far-reaching applications in industrial and community relations and in educational practice."

"Keluarnya Britania Raya dari Uni Eropa (Brexit) menjadi salah satu kasus dari rentetan gelombang populisme global yang banyak dikaji oleh akademisi lintas disiplin, terutama ilmu sosial, politik dan budaya. Bila ditelaah melalui perspektif Ilmu Hubungan Internasional, Brexit menjadi salah satu studi kasus yang berhasil menunjukkan signifikansi berbagai bentuk wacana politik identitas dalam mempengaruhi kebijakan luar negeri suatu negara. Merujuk pada gambaran besar tersebut, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk meninjau literatur-literatur akademik yang membahas mengenai wacana politik identitas dalam Brexit. Adapun jenis literatur yang digunakan berupa berupa berupa artikel jurnal, buku dan bab dalam buku akademik. Tulisan ini adalah tinjauan literatur akademik yang menggunakan metode pengorganisasian taksonomi dengan cakupan 33 literatur akademik terakreditasi yang dikelompokkan ke dalam empat tema besar, yakni (1) Tinjauan Historis Hubungan Britania Raya dengan Eropa, (2) Aktor yang Berperan dalam Reproduksi Wacana Politik Identitas, (3) Ragam Bentuk Wacana Politik Identitas yang Muncul, dan (4) Interseksi Wacana Politik Identitas dengan Faktor Sosio-Ekonomi. Penulis menemukan bahwa faktor historis dan kejayaan masa lalu membuat independensi dan kepemimpinan yang kuat menjadi satu identitas yang berupaya dipertahankan dan Brexit merupakan upaya Britania Raya untuk dapat keluar dari tekanan Uni Eropa yang dianggap membahayakan dua hal tersebut. Pada akhirnya tulisan ini melahirkan sebuah kesimpulan, yakni ragam wacana politik identitas yang terus berkembang nantinya sangat didorong oleh kompleksitas domestik sebagai hasil dari interaksi antara aktor di tingkat elit dan di tingkat publik dalam menginterpretasikan tekanan di tingkat internasional. Kuatnya nuansa historis dalam mendorong praktik politik identitas dalam Brexit pada akhirnya membuat Brexit menjadi satu manifestasi tersendiri di mana faktor identitas mampu melampaui perhitungan rasional, terutama dalam aspek ekonomi.

The exit of the United Kingdom from the European Union (Brexit) is one of the cases of a series of waves of global populism which has been widely studied by academics across disciplines, especially social, political and cultural sciences. When examined through the perspective of International Relations, Brexit is one of the case studies that successfully demonstrates the significance of various forms of identity political discourse in influencing a country's foreign policy. Referring to this big picture, this study aims to review academic literature that discusses the discourse of identity politics in Brexit. The type of literature used is in the form of journal articles, books and chapters in academic books. This paper is a review of academic literature that uses a taxonomic organization method covering 33 accredited academic literature which are grouped into four major themes, namely (1) Historical Review of the Relations between Great Britain and Europe, (2) Actors Playing a Role in the Reproduction of Identity Political Discourse, (3) Various Forms of Identity Political Discourse Appears, and (4) Intersection of Identity Political Discourse with Socio-Economic Factors. The author finds that historical factors and past glories have made the identity as a nation with independence and strong leadership is necessary to be maintained. Brexit is an attempt by the United Kingdom to get out of European Union pressure which is considered dangerous to these two elements. In the end, this paper gives birth to a conclusion, namely that the variety of identity politics discourse that continues to develop are strongly driven by domestic complexities as a result of interactions between actors at the elite level and at the public level in interpreting pressures at the international level. The strong historical overtones in encouraging the practice of identity politics in Brexit ultimately emphasize Brexit as a manifestation in which the identity factor was able to go beyond rational calculations, especially in the economic aspect."

"The language we use forms an important part of our sense of who we are, of our identity. This book outlines the relationship between our identity as members of groups, ethnic, national, religious and gender, and the language varieties important to each group. What is a language? What is a dialect? Are there such things as language ‘rights’? Must every national group have its own unique language? How have languages, large and small, been used to spread religious ideas? Why have particular religious and linguistic ‘markers’ been so central, singly or in combination, to the ways in which we think about ourselves and others? Using a rich variety of examples, the book highlights the linkages among languages, dialects and identities, with special attention given to religious, ethnic and national allegiances."
