Focus and Scope

Focus & Scope

Religious studies discuss the problems of the practice of religiousity as they arise out of varied religious traditions of society and culture in Nusantara. The key to understanding the fundamental motivations for the behaviour of human groups lies in the knowledge of religious beliefs and practices. This study encompasses an examination of the reception of scriptural texts (hermeneutical, aesthetic, and functional receptions), interreligious dialogue, the philosophical significance of diverse assimilations between religion and local wisdom, the influence of religious identity on politics and economics, and the involvement of religious figures in societal and state affairs. This focus area includes the following disciplines:

- Philosophy of Religion and Science Integration;

- Islamic Studies (The Living Al-Qur'an and Hadith Studies, Islamic Law, Islamic Politics, Islamic Cultural History, Sufism, and Sharia Economics);

- Interreligious/Interfaith Dialogue Studies.

Humanities studies involve the study of people and the investigation of their many societal concerns. It is a broad study that incorporates several disciplines concerned with humans and their socio-cultural elements. However, the aim of this publication is limited to research-based papers on educational ethics, the application of law, the effect of classical history on contemporary society, and social media communication patterns in Nusantara. This focus area includes the following disciplines:

- Literature & Linguistic Studies;

- Critical Discourse Analysis;

- Psychological and Behavioral Studies;

- Communication and Media Studies.

Cultural studies is an interdisciplinary academic study that involves a broad knowledge of culture that extends beyond textual or artistic objects such as literature, music, or cinema. Instead, it embraces a larger viewpoint that acknowledges culture as a dynamic and finely organised expression of diverse ways of living. The journal restricts the field of research to the study of local traditions in diverse ethnicities, gender equality worries, and national ideology discourse in the context of the Nusantara. This focus area includes the following disciplines:

- Sociology;

- Anthropogy;
