Jurnal Pendidikan : Riset dan Konseptual 8, no. 2 (April 27, 2024): 265. http://dx.doi.org/10.28926/riset_konseptual.v8i2.998.
Full textAbstract:
The transformation of Islamic religious education learning methods through the conversion of classical approaches using artificial intelligence (AI) represents a significant phenomenon that has reshaped paradigms in the field of religious education. This literature review qualitatively explores profound changes in the approach to Islamic religious education brought about by the application of artificial intelligence technology. It focuses on aspects such as personalized learning, real-time monitoring of student progress, adaptation to individual learning styles, automatic feedback, and online collaboration. Qualitative analysis reveals how artificial intelligence enhances students' learning experiences. Through this transformation, the learning approach becomes more responsive and tailored to the individual needs of students, fostering a more inclusive learning environment. In the context of ethics and humanity, the literature review highlights the importance of humane guidance, ethical algorithm design, ethics training for developers and users, and privacy protection as crucial elements. This research underscores the significance of upholding ethical and humane values when integrating artificial intelligence into Islamic religious education. By synthesizing findings from various literature sources, this abstract concludes that the metamorphosis of Islamic religious education learning methods through artificial intelligence plays an integral role in enhancing adaptability, responsiveness, and effectiveness in religious education. Consequently, this study provides profound insights into the positive implications and ethical challenges that need to be addressed in navigating the ever-evolving digital era.

Mansur Hidayat. "Islamic Eco-Theology: Religious Narratives in the Climate Crisis in Indonesia." Bulletin of Indonesian Islamic Studies 2, no. 2 (December 18, 2023): 197–212. http://dx.doi.org/10.51214/biis.v2i2.678.
Full textAbstract:
This article delves into the adaptation of Islamic eco-theology as an analytical lens to dissect religious narratives surrounding the climate crisis in Indonesia. With insights derived from a spectrum of interpretations and diverse affiliations, this eco-theology provides a foundation for varied understandings and reactions to environmental challenges. The study is designed to synthesize theory and hermeneutics within a critical-qualitative framework, exploring the interplay between theology and ecology. Ecological and theological behavioural theories are employed to elucidate the data. The findings reveal two main aspects: Firstly, the representation of eco-theology in Islam has undergone a metamorphosis, expanding from its role as a catalyst for uniform responses to environmental issues to a factor enriching the dynamics of understanding and response. Secondly, although the network of Islamic eco-theology influences the perspectives of the Muslim community, its capacity to reach a broader spectrum is still limited. The study underscores that Islamic eco-theology plays a pivotal role as a subsystem in navigating responses to environmental crises, particularly in responding to the climate crisis increasingly integrated within the framework of religious thought and practice in Indonesia.

Full textAbstract:
This essay examines various aspects of how Moses was represented as a Christian in artistic depictions of the Transfiguration produced during Justinian’s reign (527–565), particularly discussing mosaics in the apses of the Church of Sant’Apollinare and St. Catherine’s Monastery. First, this essay demonstrates the existence of an earlier type of the Metamorphosis, the St. Sabina-Brescia Lipsanotheca type. Second, this essay focuses on the exegetical tradition of the Transfiguration, which, until the first half of the fourth century, was relatively mild, but was later aggravated by Christian writers during the Theodosian Dynasty. Ultimately, a new type of Transfiguration was created, of which the central theme was the creation of a Christian Moses. The motivation behind this new type was the contradiction attributable to Maximian, the archbishop of Ravenna, the contradiction between his typological iconography visualized in the sanctuary of the Church of San Vitale and Justinian’s severe persecution against the Jews. This contradiction was dissolved through the creation of an image of a Christian Moses in the Transfiguration mosaics in the apses of Sant’Apollinare.

Full textAbstract:
In this study, we deal with all aspects of the topic of church courtyards of Orthodox churches in urban Greece. As an ethnographic example of this phenomenon, we examine the courtyard of the church of St. Antonios, in the municipality of Peristeri, in Athens. We will focus in the multilevel functions that these spaces have. In addition to their ecclesiastical use, these also function as parks and squares, particularly in towns, where there is little open space and areas of greenery are very limited. As a consequence, church courtyards are frequently used both as parks and as multifunctional spaces that host a multitude of social, cultural and recreational activities. In addition to examining how the space is used, we also look at the feelings experienced by those visiting the area, that is, what they experience when they visit the courtyard and what they feel about the metamorphosis, as it were, that the area undergoes, as manifested by the various activities taking place there during the late afternoon and evening.

<p>Arabic calligraphy as an art form distinctively Islamic in its development continues to progress, both in terms of form, writing, style, visualization, and media usage trends. Research on Arabic calligraphy is intended to determine the development of Arabic calligraphy in Indonesia by presenting a glimpse of history in the Middle East until in Indonesia. Data were obtained from a review of literature and direct observation, as well as the sources of literature and internet, studies done using qualitative methods based on quantitative data obtained. Results showed that the development of Arabic calligraphy in Indonesia towards metamorphosis, transformation and paradigm forms in accordance with the spirit of the age. Changes in cultural traditions characterized by the development of civilization increasingly open and reveal that calligraphy in Indonesia continues to grow following the movement of culture in other aspects of the broader, he was instrumental not only in the frame of the architecture of religious buildings, but he has been included in the development of eco-architecture today central to the social needs of society.</p><p> </p>

Full textAbstract:
Daenerys Targaryen’s metamorphosis scene is analyzed in this article, with accordance to the millennia old structure of the motif of “the woman and the dragon.” It is suggested in this article, that the visual manifestation of Daenerys in the HBO series Game of Thrones, is a reception of ancient Greco-Roma, and Early modern art. This article follows the iconography of four examples: the Minoan figurine of a priestess or goddess that holds serpents in her hands, Medea’s apotheosis on dragons-driven chariot from a vase painting, Saint Margaret wooden relic statue with the tiny dragon, and Cleopatra’s death by snakebites image. By following these examples an iconological line is drawn to connect between Daenerys visualization and the historic examples of the motif, demonstrating reception of not only visual issues but also concepts and meanings.
Understanding iconographic and iconological reception in Daenerys television image reflect on conscious and unconscious aspects of her character and the way her figure engages with the viewers.

Full textAbstract:
The article Becoming what we pray: Three images, three voices by professor Michael Plekon presents three persons who were very important for Orthodox culture, spirituality and thought — saint Seraphim of Sarov, Mother Maria Skobtsova and Paul Evdokimov. Showing the most substantial facts from their life and activity the author exhibits the real transformation, metamorphosis of their personalities, hearts and consciousnesses under the action of practice of the Jesus' Prayer or the prayer of the heart. The main aim of the article is — one can suppose — to underline the role of the Jesus' Prayer in changing people who systematically practicing it in their life, and in giving them the power to go over the stereotypes, myths and customs, even religious. The heart of the matter is emphasizing — in positive meaning — the real close union between the prayer andthe life and the relationship with neighbour. Professor Plekon stresses that “the personaland interior aspects of this prayer are never separated from liturgical prayer and ourlives”. Christians believe in salvation and resurrection of Jesus Christ and they practice the Jesus Prayer, but this prayer formula is not only devoid of life meaning formula but it is the method of changing the whole human mentality, in each everyday circumstances concerning family, marriage, work, life in monastic community, doing shopping, reading books, watching TV programs, raising children, writing the scientific articles, being in different social and cultural situations, generally — it changes all, the vision of life and the universe.

Full textAbstract:
This article studies the appropriation of Anglican choral evensong, and more specifically, dress at choral evensong, in the Netherlands outside the context of the Anglican Church to gain more insight into religiosity in the Netherlands. The authors explore the dress worn at choral evensong in the Netherlands and the meanings participants attribute to it. The concepts of denotational and connotational meanings are used as an analytical tool. In analysing their interviews, the authors came across three categories of meaning and function participants attribute to dress at choral evensong. The first category was the reference to ‘England as a model’. By wearing Anglican dress, choirs indicate they belong to the high-quality sound group of English cathedral choirs. At the same time, by changing the Anglican ‘dress code’, choirs emphasise their unicity and individuality, independent of church traditions. The second category was the marking of identity: choirs copy the dress from the English tradition, but add some elements to mark their own identity. Besides this marking of identity, aspects of unicity, uniformity, group identity, and gender-marking also play a part. The third category was metamorphosis and transcendence. Choir members refer to unarticulated transcendental experiences by wearing ritual liturgical dress. On the one hand the authors noted a ‘cathedralisation’ or ‘ceremonialisation’ of the singers’ dress, and on the other a de-institutionalisation, for example, in the dress of the minister, if present. The article’s main conclusion is that the fieldwork data reveal that dress at choral evensong in the Netherlands points to changing religiosity at two different levels. First, the authors observe a transformation in the way religion is expressed or ritualised in Reformed Protestant churches in the Netherlands. The popularity of evensong suggests a longing for other forms of worship, with a focus on ceremonies and Anglican-like vesture for the singers. Second, they observe a mix of concert practices and Anglican-like rituals, which the interviewees in our research refer to as a new form of religiosity. In both practices the traditional dress of the Anglican Church is used, whether copied exactly or adapted. A new phenomenon may be observed: choirs wear Anglican-like vesture decoupled from the Anglican Church as they are longing for transcendental experiences which they find in the musical-ritual form and high musical quality of choral evensong.

Full textAbstract:
Vesna Kapor’s novel Nebo, tako duboko was analysed according to Georges Poulet’s Metamorphoses of the Circle. The analysis focused on the introductory chapter, the segment about the age of Baroque, and Rilke’s poetry. A comparatively ori- ented interpretation encompassed the novel’s key leitmotifs: water, teardrops, and the cir- cle. Through the analysis of the dominant concepts, the paper aims to answer the question of how these leitmotifs were schematised and systematised. Encounters with Tara Senica, the deceased girl, are marked by the following motifs: rain, snow, snowflakes, ice, dew, teardrops, and baptism. Within this context, the girl’s first and last name were analysed, as well as the time and space in the novel, which have become homogenized. The religious thought and the metaphysical aspects turned out to be the key. The thought about God is counterpoised to the nothingness in the face of death and meaninglessness.

Full textAbstract:
In the present inquiry I explicate through a Feminist lens, curious and often amusing metamorphoses of Judith's integrity and complexity as a female hero in Israel as they are expressed in opera and oratorio. Within the purview of these genres the integrity of the apocryphal Judith's characterization is variously maintained, elaborated, ignored, transferred to other characters, transformed, or obliterated by librettists and animateurs. Diverse methodological perspectives inform observations pertinent to librettos, music, mise en scene and aspects of characterization as they are animated in the artistic process/product and transmitted via their critics in the media.

Full textAbstract:
Les romans grecs et les Métamorphoses d’Apulée – même si les modalités sont différentes pour ce dernier – sont des fictions en prose qui fonctionnent autour de topoi auxquels la figure de l’Autre n’échappe pas. Bien que le monde grec soit alors radicalement différent de ce qu’il était au Ve siècle avant J.-C., période à laquelle l’identité grecque est construite par opposition à la figure du barbare, les romanciers qui prennent la plume à partir du Ier siècle avant notre ère utilisent un certain nombre de stéréotypes hérités de l’époque classique, alors mise à l’honneur par le mouvement de la Seconde Sophistique. Il s’agit d’étudier dans le détail certains éléments de la représentation de l’Autre pour déterminer qui il est, comment il se comporte, ce qui le constitue en Autre. Puis, à partir de cette esquisse, nécessairement incomplète, d’évaluer ce que cette représentation peut induire sur l’image de l’identité grecque à l’époque impériale, par le jeu de miroir que F. Hartog a décelé dans l’œuvre d’Hérodote. Une première partie est consacrée aux rapports entre l’homme et l’animal ainsi qu’à l’image de la sauvagerie, ce qui permet d’explorer les bornes romanesques de l’humanité. La seconde partie s’attache à des éléments que l’époque classique a plus particulièrement mis en avant pour distinguer les Grecs des non-Grecs : le critère de la langue, l’art de faire la guerre et le discours politique qui est tenu sur les institutions barbares. La troisième partie étudie la place des dieux et des pratiques religieuses dans la définition de l’Autre. J’espère ainsi contribuer à la compréhension du genre romanesque et des représentations culturelles de l’empire « gréco-romain »The Greek novels and The Metamorphoses of Apuleius, even if it is in different terms for the last, are prose fictions which are based on topoi, and the figure of the Other is one of them. Although the Greek world was radically different of what it was in the fifth century BC, time during which Greek identity is contructed as opposed to the figure of the barbaros, the authors of novels, who wrote from the first century BC onward, used some stereotypes inherited from classical period, which was celebrated by the Second Sophistic movement. The aim of this thesis is to study in detail some elements of the representation of the Other to determine who it is, how he behaves, what makes him other. Then, from this sketch, necessarily incomplete, to evaluate what this representation says about the image of Greek identity in the imperial age, according to the play of the mirror detected by F. Hartog in the text of Herodotus. The first part of the thesis is dedicated to the relationship between man and animal and to the image of savagery, in order to explore the novelistic limits of humanity. The second part concentrates on elements that classical period had particularly insisted on to promote the distinction between Greeks and non-Greeks : the linguistic criterion, the way to make war, and the politic discourse on the barbaric institutions. The third part study the place of the gods and of religious practices in the definition of the Other. I hope to contribute to the understanding of novel genre and of cultural representations of the « greco-roman- empire »

Abstract We have already noticed many individual cases of the transformation of Greek divinities: gods who change into birds in Homeric epic; multiform Dionysos in tragedy and in Nonnos; contrasting evocations of the transformed Zeus in visual art and in Moschos; self-changing nymphs in Apollonios. In the first half of the present chapter I comment on three more aspects of the relationship between metamorphosis and Greek notions of divinity: namely, the gods’ motivation for changing their form, the astonishment generated by their self-changing, and the possibility that certain gods are especially prone to change. In the second part of the chapter I suggest, against the background of some comparative material, how metamorphosis stories can be brought to bear on the question: how anthropomorphic was Greek religion?

Full textAbstract:
First of all, we need to overview at the history and essence of Sufism in order to understand the place of the Sufism system and the teaching of Khurramism in this system. “Sufism“ or “tasavvuf“ are essentially of the same meaning. Both terms are used parallel to express the same belief system. Sufism had been a widespread religious-philosophical, mystical moral-ethical thinking and behavior system in the Middle Ages. There are various versions on the origin and essence of this term. The Sufism and the tasavvuf system have had proper and similar features with a number of religions, religious - philosophical and faith systems of human-cultural development up to it. One of these systems is Khurramism. The Khurramism was the ideology of the Khurramid movement, which took place in the late eighteenth -early ninth century. The Khurramid movement had a political, as well as religious-irfani, religious-philosophical-mystical character. The religious faith and values of this movement is the subject of disputes so far. In the historical literature, the words “Khurramids “ or “Khurramdinler “ have appeared since in the time of the Abu Muslim rebel. Among the ideological views of Khurramids known to science, there are some points considered important by them that they indicate the presence of religious-ideological views, and these views were later included in the Sufism system. There were three basic aspects of the religious beliefs of Khurramids: 1) Hulul - God's personification in man; 2) Tanasukh – (reincarnation, metamorphosis as a scientific term) - the pass of the soul from one body to another; 3) Rijat -rising from the dead; Resurrection. They are purely religiousphilosophical- mystical elements. The Sufism system and the Kizilbashlik widely embrace the religious and ideological principles of Babek and Khurramism, and we have also tried to talk about these issues in our articles. Keywords: Sufism, Khurramism, Hulul, Tanasukh, Rijat.
