Abstract: This study examines the constitution of religiously tolerant subjectivity among Indonesian Muslim pre-service teachers. Complementing existing studies in religious tolerance education which were mainly survey-based and experimental, this qualitative research employed a discourse analysis methodology which connects individual-level analysis with the larger socio-religio-political situations in contemporary Indonesia. Specifically, this study aims to explore discourses drawn upon by young Muslim preservice teach… Show more

“…Life isn't black and white, it's all about balance." Through Aisyah's engagement with K-pop, she demonstrates a spiritual understanding of Islam; one that is not doctrinal and authoritative, nor focusing on obedience, morality, and piety as commonly advocated by the conservatives (Wijaya Mulya et al, 2021b). The constitution of her subjectivity as a Muslim K-pop fan here evidenced a resistance against the widespread conservative Islamic discourses in contemporary Indonesia.…”

This shift could indicate a drop in radicalism among students who completed the religious education based on the main sources of Islam.…”

“…Some of the post-1998 governments, democracy activists, and moderate religious leaders have engaged in efforts to contest and curb the growing conservatism, anti-democratic Islamist groups, the persecution of religious minorities, and terrorist bombings (Fealy 2019;Mietzner 2018). Correspondingly, in the field of education, international and Indonesian studies on democratic education have discussed similar tensions between religious truth claims and democratic multicultural citizenship (e.g., Ahmad 2004;Wijaya Mulya, Aditomo, and Suryani 2021) or exploring religious discourses which are supportive of democracy (e.g., Saada and Gross 2017).
