Myeng-Keo SeoDefining "Religious" in Indonesia: Toward Neither an Islamic nor a Secular StateSeminar Room, South Asian Studies, Laundress Lane Thursday 5th February 1 p.m. (Sandwiches will be available)
Myeng-Keo Seo is a Ph.D. student in the Department of Sociology at Cambridge. The paper he will deliver is on a central aspect of his dissertation.Starting with with the constitutional debates at the time of the declaration of independence in 1945 on whether Indonesian should be defined as an Islamic state, the paper will then explain the role of the Indonesian Ministry of Religious Affairs as a case of the institutionalisation of religion. The 1965 anti-communist Jihad will then be used to shed light on the interplay between religion and politics and how it has impacted religious conversion in Indonesia. Finally the implications of the 1965 presidential decree for state-recognised religions and of the 1974 marriage law for religious conversion will be explained. |
