“…In this scenario, we may expect a general availability to interview-based research, which make reluctance even more relevant. Also, scholars working on the mediatization of society point out the effects of this process on the conceptions of authority, including scientific expertise and political competence (for a recent discussion, see Giorgi, 2019). Hence, exploring the reluctance based on non-expertise may also shed light on how the conceptions of competence and expertise are changing.…”

Methodological literature dealing with the challenges in sampling, recruiting and engaging research participants for qualitative interviews usually assumes that potential informants are informed. But what happens when the potential informants make it clear that they have little to say because under-informed on the topic? This article explores the challenges in recruiting and engaging under-informed research participants by revisiting my fieldwork experience as a researcher for the ERC-funded project GRASSROOTSMOBILISE – Directions in Religious Pluralism in Europe. The article describes potential interviewees’ claims of under-information as a specific type of reluctance, displaying in both the recruitment and the interview processes, and discusses the potential strategies to overcome this reluctance by paying attention to the role of researchers.

“…Some researchers have used a number of theoretical approaches for digital religion studies, including mediation (Hoover 2006;Martin-Barbero 1993) and mediatization (Giorgi 2019;Hjarvard 2011aHjarvard , 2011bLoveheim 2008). In line with the development of the direction and focus of this research, the internet is not only an arena where religion appears as content but has also given rise to religious patterns in cyberspace.…”

Like in many other developing countries, Indonesia’s population has been amongst the most enthusiastic ‘uptakers’ of the internet, especially of social media. Most Indonesians utilize the internet as an information source, including religious ones. Various groups and communities of Islamic studies have appeared on social media along with religious leaders who are also active on social media. Based on the various characteristics that have emerged, Islamic learning practices scattered across various social media platforms have increasingly illustrated the symptoms of religious populism. This is marked by the various socio-religious movements that have emerged from these practices. By using a digital religion perspective in order to observe Islamic learning practices on several social media platforms, this paper argues that social media has become a productive space for the development of religious populism in Indonesia. At first glance, religious populism on social media seems to challenge authoritative figures or religious institutions, but it can also be seen as a way for Islamic agents to convey Islamic teachings in a media-friendly culture.

“…Religious topics related to the digitized society have widespread around the world and have become one of the cutting-edge debates in the field of religious study. Many researchers gave attention to the relation between religion and digital matters (Bunt 2003;Chaves 1994;Giorgi 2019;Hjarvard 2016;Rahman 2017;Turner 2007). Some of them examined the change of religious authority in an increasingly mediated world as well as concerned about the rise of new religious authority in the mass media space (Chaves 1994;Giorgi 2019;Hjarvard 2016;Rahman 2017;Turner 2007).…”

Kiai is the Javanese term of ulama in the traditional Muslim community. It generally refers to a person who has a deep understanding of Islam and leads the institution of traditional Islamic education called pondok pesantren or Islamic boarding school. Indeed, the strength of a Kiai is based on his leadership at the pesantren that has functioned as a space for cultural-social reproduction. While the attention of many researchers focused on the shifting of Islamic authority in the digital age, not much of them paid special attention to the survival of Kiai’s authority. This study aims to examine the role of pesantren in preserving the authority of the Kiai in the digital age. This study employed qualitative method and utilized the cultural reproduction theory of Pierre Bourdieu. This study found that Kiai’s authority continues to survive because pesantren functioned as a space for transmitting cultural values, including the recognition of Kiai’s high position. As a social and cultural reproduction space, pesantren becomes a field that forms habitus through the transmission of its cultural values which is naturally formed in the daily practices of the santri.
