Komunikasi Dialektis Masyarakat Beda Agama di Bojonegoro

Abstract

This study discusses the manner in which villagers of "Kampung Kristen" Leran Village, Bojonegoro decide how to interact within religious heterogeneous society in order to construct social harmony. Using ethnographic of communi­ca­tion approach, the findings have revealed that within so­cial communication of Leran villagers, they always face dy­na­­­mic interplay between integration and separation, stability and change, expression and nonexpression. Hence, they de­ci­de to have a cautious attitude towards verbalizing ideas and emotions in words, particularly related to religious is­sues. In general, they prefer and are more concerned with pre­­­ser­­­ving social harmony than arguing their religious beliefs.
