Part 2 TeaTime: Mustadha’afun in Prophetic Communication

Reading Time: 2 minutes

“What are the manifestations of Mustadha’afun or marginalized people in Islam?” This question got interesting and not short answers. Then Holy gives a picture of the social context of modern society today with many buildings and luxury cars milling about. “The easiest way,” said Holy, “we can check whether there are neighbors who are still hungry or not, lacking or not.”

Prophetic communication is not just da’wah. “Dakwah is also prophetic communication, only it is in the pragmatic-normative dimension; worship procedures. You can do this, you can’t do that.”

But prophetic communication does not eliminate the frontal ways of worship in Holy’s explanation of realizing a just society. “In the practice of prophetic communication, if it can’t be done in a subtle way and conveyed through normative procedures, if you have to do a demo, then a demo.”

Mustada’afun at the time of the prophet Muhammad used to be usually seen from the social and economic status, for example, poor and slaves. Today’s era must be researched first. For instance, whether the beggar is in the category of the oppressed. “Today there are indeed beggars as a ‘profession’ and even richer than UII lecturers,” Holy example joked.

In the daily life of students, for example, some are oppressed. For example, among students who after college have access to work from campus with A accreditation and superior predicate, some lose opportunities because the campus is accredited C, even though their skills could be better. Well, while many are struggling, few are not. This is an oppressed, unfair job acceptance system.

In another case, Holy gives a picture of an old transvestite. “Transvestites find it difficult to get a job. In the midst of society isolated, let alone to get a decent job. Only the young transvestites are oppressed, let alone the old ones who are physically weak.” Holy does not rule out the transvestite controversy, “it’s about people who are oppressed. They need to be embraced, not isolated and even vulnerable.”

“Transvestites find it difficult to get a job. In the midst of society isolated, let alone to get a decent job. Only the young transvestites are oppressed, let alone the old ones who are physically weak.”

-Holy Rafika Dhona-

To increase our sense and recognize whether there are still oppressed people around us, we need to read a lot; reading conditions, reading conditions, it is also essential to read books. “We must develop a sense that there are problems around us, that something doesn’t happen by itself, everything is constructed,” Holy suggested to students who want to be more sensitive to the social situations around them.

IP Communication Teatime: Komunikasi Profetik dan Yang Terpinggirkan

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Kajian Komunikasi profetik bukanlah hal baru, hanya saja selama ini masih dipahami secara normatif sebagai dakwah keagamaan atau dakwah yang sifatnya agamis seperti tatacara nabi. Kajian Komunikasi Profetik dalam dalam perspektif kenabian yakni membela yang terpinggirkan, lemah, dan terindas belum banyak dibahas dalam kajian komunikasi profetik selama ini.

Obrolan komunikasi profetik sambil ngeteh sore ini dilangsugkan secara online via live Instragram oleh International Program of Communication Department Universitas ISlam Indonesia IP comunication UII) atau biasa mereka sebut dengan teatime. Acara yang dilaksanakan di senin sore, 19 April 2021 tersebut mengadirkan Holy Rafika Dhona sebagai pembicara. Holy adalah dosen pengajar Ilmu Komunikasi UII, sekaligus penulis buku ajar Komunikasi Profetik yang ia susun tiga tahun terakhir sejak 2018.

Islam sebagai kajian ilmu sudah sejak lama dikaji oleh Kuntowijoyo, keilmuan islam yang disilaturahmikan dengan kajian komunikasi belumlah memuaskan. “Buku ini pun juga masih jauh, apalagi saya.” Kelakar Holy menegaskan dirinya masih jauh dari sifat kenabian, saat diajak ngobrol santai dalam acara Teatime yang dipandu oleh Nadira dan Lani.

Obrolan dibuka dengan mengajak berpikir dengan merefleksikan satu rutinitas harian tentang aktifitas posting status facebook. “Kamu posting FB itu bukan ibadah, tapi kalau taklim itu ibadah. Perpektifnya selalu begitu selama ini. Padahal bisa jadi itu sangat profetik isinya”

“Kamu posting FB itu bukan ibadah, tapi kalau taklim itu ibadah. Perpektifnya selalu begitu selama ini. Padahal bisa jadi itu sangat profetik isinya”

-Holy Rafika Dhona-

Dalam kajian komunikasi profetik, bisa jadi posting di facebook adalah abgian dari upaya profetik. Holy menjelaskan bahwa komunikasi profetik itu tidak sekadar dakwah agamis yang mengenalkan tatacara wudhu, sholat, puasa atau tatacara menyampaikan pesan. “Kalau komunikasi profetik pinginnya ilmu didekati dengan tujuan kenabian. Hero banget. Bukan untuk ngajain sholat ritual belaka. Sebenarnya dalam pandangan komunikasi profetik itu klise kok. Komunikasi yang membimbing dari jalan kegelapan menuju jalan terang. Terang itu ya, sejahtera, aman, nyaman. nggak cuma ritual belaka,” jelas Holy.

Holy menceritakan tentang hijrah nabi Muhammad dari mekah ke Yatsrib (Madinah) juga disertai oleh orang yang belum memeluk Islam tapi teraniaya di Mekah. Dalam cerita Holy itu Holy ingin menunjukan bahwa Nabi selalu datang dengan konsep orang tertindas: mustadha’afun. Komunikasi yang ditujukan untuk membela orang tertindas.

IP Communication TeaTime: Prophetic Communication and the Marginalized

Reading Time: 2 minutes

The study of prophetic communication is not new things, it’s just that so far it is still understood normatively as religious da’wah or da’wah that is religious in nature such as the procedures of the prophet. The study of prophetic communication in a prophetic perspective, namely defending the marginalized, weak, and oppressed has not been widely discussed in the study of prophetic communication so far.

This prophetic communication chat while having tea this afternoon was held online via Live Instragram by the International Program of Communication Department, Universitas ISlam Indonesia (IP comunication UII) or what they call teatime. The event, which was held on Monday afternoon, April 19, 2021, presented Holy Rafika Dhona as a speaker. Holy is a lecturer in Communication Studies at UII, as well as the author of a textbook on prophetic communication which he has compiled for the last three years since 2018.

Islam as a study of science has long been studied by Kuntowijoyo, Islamic scholarship which is in touch with the study of communication has not been satisfactory. “This book is still far away, let alone me.” Holy jokes asserted that he was still far from prophetic, when he was invited to casually chat in a Teatime program hosted by Nadira and Lani.

The chat was opened by inviting people to think by reflecting on a daily routine about posting Facebook status activities. “You post on FB it’s not worship, but ta’lim is worship. That perspective has always been that way. Even though it could be very prophetic in its content.”

 

“You post on FB it’s not worship, but taklim is worship. That perspective has always been that way. Even though it could be very prophetic in its content”

-Holy Rafika Dhona-

In the study of prophetic communication, it could be that posting on Facebook is part of a prophetic effort. Holy explained that prophetic communication is not just a religious da’wah that introduces procedures for ablution, prayer, fasting or procedures for conveying messages. “In prophetic communication, science wants to be approached with prophetic goals. So heroic. Not for mere ritual prayers. Actually, in the view of prophetic communication it’s a cliché. Communication that leads from the path of darkness to the path of light. The light is yes, prosperous, safe, comfortable. It’s not just a ritual,” explained Holy.

Holy tells about the migration of the prophet Muhammad from Mecca to Yatsrib (Medina) also accompanied by people who have not embraced Islam but were persecuted in Mecca. In the Holy story, Holy wants to show that the Prophet always came with the concept of the oppressed: mustadha’afun. Communication aimed at defending the oppressed.

Webinar Series NADIM: Konstruksi Kelas Menengah di Majalah Rolling Stone Indonesia

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Siapa yang menentukan berada di kelas sosial apa kita di masyarakat? Jawabannya bisa bermacam-macam. Salah satunya yang menentukan adalah majalah musik. Majalah musik mendefinisikan bahwa selera musik kita menunjukkan dimana level kelas kta dalam masyarakat. Masyarakat penyuka musik dangdut dan pop melayu adalah selera kelas bawah sedangkan rock, pop, dan jazz adalah selera kelas menengah.

 

Hal-hal tersebut diungkapkan oleh Kavca Diosaputra dari hasil risetnya dalam majalah musik Rolingstone Indonesia (RSI). Mahasisswa tingkat akhir Ilmu Komunikasi UII itu mempresentasikannya dalam rangkaian acara Webinar series episode 16 yang diselenggarakan oleh Pusat Studi dan dokumentasi media Alternatif (PSDMA) NADIM Ilmu Komunikasi Universitas Islam Indonesia pada Jumat, 16 April 2021.

 

Diosaputra yang kerap disapa Dio mengumpulkan arsip dalam rentang 12 tahun sejak 2005 hingga 2017. Dalam arsip majalah yang ia temukan wacana yang paing sering sering muncul adalah konser. Baik berita, review konser, persiapan, cerita dibaik panggung, kerusahan, dan lain sebagainya.

 

Dari artikel-artikel tentang konser di majalah RSI tersebut, Dio menarik beberapa ide pokok tentang apa itu konser. Konser dan musik adalah alat politik kelas menengah atas. Disini, konser adalah tempat melarikan diri dari rutininas keseharian (leisure). Rutinitas harian yang maksud adalah rutinitas antara rumah, keluarga, dan pekerjaan dalam ruang kantor. Yang artinya dalah pekerjaan yang bersifat formal, bukan pekerjaan di luar ruang seperti pedangan, supir, atau pekerjaan ain luar ruangan yang sering disebut pekerjaaan informal.

“Konsep-konsep dominan yang dibicarakan dalam majalah Rolling Stone Indonesia cenderung membicarakan kepentingan kelas atas”

-Kavca Diosaputra-

 

Dalam mendefinikan kelas menengah selain melalui konser dan jenis musik tertentu, juga ditunjukkan melalui berita. Misalnya, artikel yang menggangkat musik dangdut dan pentas panggungnya. Konser dangdut selalu diidentikkan dengan kerusuhan dan mabuk. Selain itu, diksi yang digunakan selalu menggunakan kata ‘rakyat’ dan ‘selera rakyat’. Kata ‘rakyat’ selalu diidentikan dengan masyarakat kecil atau wong cilik.

 

Selain dari sisi pemilihan kata, mitos kelas menengah dalam majalah RSI juga terihat dari porsi tuisan dan mengedepankan subjek otoritas (misalnya: pemerintah) sebagai narasumber utama berita, bukan penonton ataupun pedangang, petugas kebersihan, dll.

 

Bukti selanjutnya adalah berkaitan dengan topik-topik artikel yang dibawa dalam majaah RSI. “Konsep-konsep dominan yang dibicarakan dalam RSI cenderung membicarakan kepentingan kelas atas,” tulis Dio dalam salah satu slide presentasinya.

 

“Misalnya pembicaraan tentang pariwisata musik. Ini terlihat lebih mengedepankan bisnis besar daripada membicarakan ekonomi kelas bawah.” Dari apa yang dibicarakan dapat terlihat dimana RSI memposisikan keberpihakan dan mewacanakan kelas tertentu.

Webinar Series NADIM: Middle Class Construction in Rolling Stone Indonesia Magazine

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Who determines which social class we belong to in society? The answers could vary. One of those who determine our social class  is a music magazine. Music magazines define that our taste in music indicates where our class level is in society. People who like dangdut and pop music belong to lower class tastes, while rock, pop, and jazz are middle class tastes.

These things were revealed by Kavca Diosaputra from the results of his research in the music magazine Rolingstone Indonesia (RSI). The final year student of Communication Studies UII presented it in a series of Webinar series episode 16 organized by the Center for Alternative Media Studies and Documentation (PSDMA) NADIM Communication Studies at the Islamic University of Indonesia on Friday, April 16, 2021.

Diosaputra, who is often called Dio, collected archives for a span of 12 years from 2005 to 2017. In the magazine archives he found that the discourse that appeared most often was concerts. Good news, concert reviews, preparations, stories on stage, riots, and so on.

From the articles about concerts in RSI magazine, Dio drew some main ideas about what concerts are. Concerts and music are tools of upper middle class politics. Here, the concert is a place to escape from the daily routine as a leisure time. Daily routines mean routines between home, family, and work in the office. Which means it is a formal job, not an outdoor job such as a tradesman, driver, or other outdoor work which is often called an informal job.

“The dominant concepts discussed in Rolling Stone Indonesia magazine tend to talk about the interests of the upper class”

-Kavca Diosaputra-

 

In defining the middle class apart from concerts and certain types of music, it is also shown through news. For example, articles about dangdut music and stage performances. Dangdut concerts are always identified with riots and drunkenness. In addition, the diction used always uses the words ‘people’ and ‘people’s tastes’. The word ‘people’ is always identified with the small community or wong cilik.

Apart from the choice of words, the myth of the middle class in RSI magazine is also seen from the writing portion and puts the subject of authority (eg government) as the main source of news, not spectators or traders, cleaners, etc.

Further evidence is related to the topics of articles carried in the RSI magazine. “The dominant concepts discussed in RSI tend to talk about the interests of the upper class,” Dio wrote in one of his presentation slides.

“For example, talk about music tourism. This seems to put big business ahead of the lower class economy.” From what was discussed, it can be seen where RSI is positioning partiality and discourse on certain classes.

Do We Still Need PSB Supervisory Board?

Reading Time: 2 minutes

The Supervisory Board (Dewas) of the Public Service Broadcasting/PSB is commonly understood as the highest entity in the governance of the PSB, especially in Indonesia. Dewas contains various elements. It is starting from the public, government to PSB elements.

Public involvement in the Dewas, or according to Masduki, more accurately the Public Broadcasting Council, is vital for LPP. “The key word of public service broadcasting board is representation. The more representative, the more ideal,” said Masduki, UII Lecturer at Department of Communications, who is also research specialist on Public Service Media, at the Webinar held on Sunday, April 4, 2021. 

This weekend webinar welcomes Indonesian National Broadcasting Day, entitled ‘Do We Still Need an PSB Supervisory Board?’ This webinar, organized by the Media Care Society (MPM), Yogyakarta, was attended by various academics, practitioners, and other general participants.

Besides Masduki, other speakers were M. Mistam (Chairman of the Supervisory Board of RRI period of 2016-2020), Paulus Widiyanto (Chairman of the DPR Special Committee on Broadcasting Law Number 32/2002), and Mira Rochyadi Reetz, an academic from the Institute of Media and Communication Science Ilmenau University of Technology, Germany.

Quoting Professor Hanrietty, in the book entitled Public broadcasting and the political interference, Masduki said two things need to be highlighted in a supervisory board structure or a public broadcasting board. The first is the representation and the second is the appointment procedure for the election.

Masduki explained that there are three models of PSB representation in the world. The first is a liberalistic open competitive representation. “This is like the system used in Indonesia, there is potential for clientelism,” Masduki explained. “This means that only those who are close to the voting team have a high chance of becoming the PSB Supervisory Board.”

While the second model is civic representation, all representatives of elements in society are advised to register as PSB Supervisory Board. “For example in Germany, the number of PSB Supervisory Board can be a lot. And they are voluntary. Indonesia has an example, see the press council,” he added.

While the third model is primordialistic representation. The representatives are based on region, ethnicity, gender, etc. “And in Indonesia there are already the experience of the first model of PSB Supervisory Board representation is not good. We have to propose that it be changed in the revision of the broadcasting law,” suggested Masduki, who is also the Founding Council of the PSB Clearing House (Rumah Perubahan Lembaga Penyiaran Publik).

Masduki suggested, now in the future, the councils that are in the election process this time, the more representatives from the public, the better. “The divine principle should be so. For example, from one RRI, one government, then more public representatives,” said Masduki, whose dissertation in Germany specifically discusses public service broadcasting in Indonesia (RRI and TVRI). According to him, this is an effort to recondition towards civic representation ideal in representation in the PSB Supervisory Board.

Masihkah Kita Perlu Dewan Pengawas LPP?

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Dewan Pengawas (Dewas) Lembaga Penyiaran Publik/LPP jamak dipahami sebagai entitas tertinggi di dalam tata kelola LPP, terutama di Indonesia. Dewas berisi dari beragam unsur. Mulai dari unsur publik, pemerintah, hingga unsur LPP.

Keterlibatan publik dalam Dewas, atau seyogyanya menurut Masduki lebih tepat bernama Dewan Penyiaran Publik, adalah vital bagi LPP. “Dewan penyiaran publik itu kata kuncinya adalah representasi. Semakin representatif, maka semakin ideal,” kata Masduki, Dosen Komunikasi UII, spesialis riset soal Public Service Media di Webinar yang diselenggarakan pada Minggu, 4 April 2021.

Webinar akhir pekan menyambut Hari Penyiaran Nasional ini berjudul ‘Masihkah Kita Perlu Dewan Pengawas LPP?’ Webinar yang diselenggarakan oleh Perkumpulan Masyarakat Peduli Media (MPM), Yogyakarta, ini dihadiri oleh beragam akademisi, praktisi, dan partisipan umum lainnya.

Selain Masduki, pembicara lain adalah M. Mistam (Ketua Dewas LPP RRI 2016-2020), Paulus Widiyanto (Ketua Pansus DPR pada UU Penyiaran Nomor 32/2002), dan Mira Rochyadi Reetz, akademisi dari Institute of Media and Communication Science Ilmenau University od Technology, Jerman.

Mengutip Profesor Hanrietty, dalam buku Public broadcasting and the political interference, Masduki mengatakan bahwa ada dua hal yang perlu disoroti dalam sebuah struktur dewan pengawas atau dewan penyiaran publik. Pertama adalah keterwakilan dan kedua adalah appointment tata cara pemilihannya.

Masduki menjelaskan ada tiga model representasi PSB di dunia. Pertama adalah open competitive representation yang liberalistik. “Ini seperti yang dipakai sistem di Indonesia, ada potensi klientelisme,” jelas Masduki. “Artinya hanya yang dekat dengan tim pemilih yang berpeluang besar menjadi dewas.”

Sedangkan model kedua adalah civic representation. Semua perwakilan elemen di masyarakat disarankan mendaftar menjadi dewas. “Contoh di Jerman, jumlahnya bisa banyak sekali. Dan sifatnya voluntaristik. “Indonesia punya contoh, ya itu dewan pers,” imbuhnya.

Sedangkan Model ketiga adalah primordialistic representation. Perwakilan berdasarkan daerah, suku, gender, dll. “Dan di Indonesia sudah ada pengalaman model pertama keterwakilan dewas ini tidak baik. Harus kita usulkan diubah di revisi UU penyiaran,” usul Masduki yang juga adalah Dewan Pendiri Rumah Perubahan LPP (RPLPP).

Masduki menyarakan, kini ke depan, Dewas yang sedang dalam proses pemilihan kali ini
Semakin banyak berasal dari wakil publik, semakin baik. “Prinsip dewas seharusnya begitu. Misal dari RRI satu orang, pemerintah satu orang, lalu wakil publik semakin banyak,” papar Masduki yang disertasinya di Jerman khusus membahas penyiaran publik di Indonesia (RRI dan TVRI) ini. Menurutnya, ini adalah upaya rekondisi menuju civic representation yang ideal dalam keterwakilan di dalam dewas LPP.

Creative and Inspirational Work Steps to Become a Creativepreneur

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Starting an entrepreneur should be based on research. Quality research in turn will determine the level of creativity and how inspiring the efforts we are engaged in. But that’s not enough. Entrepreneurs must know these four steps in order to become creative and inspiring entrepreneurs. Be a creativepreneur!

“There is still a big chance to start a business in the digital era, for example starting from dropshipper, resellers, and then increasing,” said Adhitya Maulana, MAHIR’s Chief Operation in the Studium General at the 26th Anniversary of FPSB UII on Thursday, April 15, 2021.

Maulana gave four (4) steps to be a creativepreneur in a general studium with the theme Creative and Inspirational Ways to Work last Thursday. This Studium General is the culmination of a series of 26th Anniversary of FPSB UII which takes the big theme of Being creative and productive in a disruptive era.

What are the steps to becoming a creativepreneur?

The first step, choose a business that pleases yourself. Maulana outlined the selection of important fields according to several favorable and profitable criteria. For example, according to hobby / interest, according to expertise, needed /on demand, and relying on research. Maulana underlined the culture of research so that what we offer and produce is always research based. “So, the business has valid data, not just ‘I think’ it will be sold,” said Maulana.

The second step is creative & innovative. After determining the line of business, the second step according to Adhitya Maulana, is a creative and innovative process. Creating a new business must be different. For example, a business that has never existed before but whose products or services have been researched are ‘market’ needs. Be the first (pioneers) and be different from other endeavors.

However, a creative business does not always have to be a new type of business. Even old businesses can be innovated according to the era or market segmentation. These businesses are usually old businesses that are innovated with different approaches and tailored to the segment market. For example, ojek driver services that were used conventionally are now being innovated using a new approach through the online motorcycle taxi application.

“Innovative and creatives bussines don’t always have to be new, but it can be with different development and approaches,” said Adhitya Maulana.

Meanwhile, the third step is to have a skill set. Opening a business does not have to have all the skills at once. At least, we can one by one learn some basic skills to support the business that we are going to run. Some of the main skills that must be possessed are technical, managerial, communication, marketing & sales, Creative skills & Critical thinking skills (mindmapping), and digital literacy.

Then is Creative Thinking as the fourth step. “This is 100% pure my experience,” said Maulana. The stage of looking for creative ideas to start a business turns out to be tricky. Easy because it’s trivial things that can be obtained just by chatting or imagining. It’s difficult because there may be many ideas that come up, making it difficult to choose which one and sometimes the fear of the product will sell or not. Then of course, they are also creative in finding capital and funding to enlarge the business, which is the key.

Five Ways to Explore Creative Ideas Towards Creativepreneur

Reading Time: 2 minutes

It is best if each of us can understand what and how the difference between creative and counterproductive in making works. Many challenges arise to get to creativepreneur in today’s digital era. From a matter of ideas, capital, networks, to market segments. However, if you have understood how, it is not too much to say that the challenge is just a matter of limits in mind. Not only research, but also creative ideas are the commander in achieving the “title” of creativepreneur.

Being a creativepreneur, it’s good to be able to distinguish between creative and counterproductive. “The first is, you can be said to be counterproductive if you work in the same ways over and over again. On the other hand, if you have worked with a new approach, then you deserve to be called creative,” said Adhitya Maulana, on Thursday, April 15, 2021 in Studium. General at the 26th Anniversary of FPSB UII. Maulana is MAHIR’s Chief Operation and a speaker at various entrepreneur discussion sessions.

The second difference between creative and counterproductive is flexibility. If creative people are always flexible and dynamic, counterproductive people work monotonously and always expose themselves to various boundaries.

As a result, creative people always appear as creators and initiators rather than followers and followers. “Usually creative people are always open to opportunities that arise. Meanwhile, people who work counterproductively are closed and anti-change,” he said.

So by itself the audience can judge that creative people are more independent than people who are always counterproductive who always depend on other people in every episode of their life.

So, it’s no wonder that many people yearn to be creative. Then, what can be done to get creative ideas in business?

Five (5) of these to get creative ideas 

First, discussion & brainstorming. This process is important to get feedback from others about the strengths and weaknesses, and get different views. This is a kind of anticipation of failure at the beginning of the process of finding creative ideas. Second, multiply surfing in a constructive virtual world and relate to your creativity.

Then the third, “improve the culture of reading,” said Adhitya giving advice. “We can learn from great people in the world who read an average of 40 books a year. The book provokes a lot of crazy ideas from unexpected people,” he said.

Also involve the ecosystem that supports you to thrive and thrive. This is the fourth step. According to Adhitya, this ecosystem is important, for example, he always chooses to associate with people who have the same vision. This ecosystem will be an important support system in building a business.

The fifth point is to practice to be more structured and organized. Neat. “Start to organize yourself and be disciplined. This will help you find a pattern of success in business. Without it, it is impossible for a business to be big and progressive,” said Adhitya.
