KTP, identity, symbol, modernityAbstract
Artikel ini mengetengahkan pembahasan mengenai simbolisme
agama dalam KTP (Kartu Tanda Penduduk) di Indonesia. Penghapusan
status penunjukan agama di KTP adalah “isu sensitif” di Indonesia.
Ia berhubungan dengan kelanjutan sisa-sisa alam pikiran Orde Baru,
yang juga menyangkut bagaimana identitas agama kerap dipakai
dalam pergaulan sehari-hari masyarakat Indonesia. Ditambah lagi,
Indonesia sedang bergulat dengan keragaman agama, aktualisasi
inklusi agama dan aliran kepercayaan di satu sisi serta perkembangan
nasionalisme dan demokrasi di sisi lain. Makalah ini berpendapat
bahwa perdebatan KTP dan simbol agama yang juga termasuk isu
penting dalam kampanye Jokowi pada Pilpres 2014 lalu, adalah
penanda bahwa keragaman agama dan inklusi merupakan aspek
modernitas yang tak terduga. Sebagaimana hal itu dilihat oleh Peter
L Berger. Makalah ini akan mengidentifikasi referen dari simbol
KTP agama serta relevansinya dalam tata kehidupan keagamaan,
demokrasi, dan sosial-politik Indonesia mutakhir.
