MENEROPONG PEMIKIRAN MARK JUERGENSMEYER TENTANG IDENTITAS AGAMA ANTI GLOBAL
Abstract
Agama antiglobal dalam cermatan Mark Juergensmeyer merupakan perwujudan
dari gerakan dalam agama yang anti-Westernisme. Gerakan agama ini membenci
modernitas ala Barat jenis apa pun, baik dalam eksploitasi ekonomi, politik, maupun
budaya. Anehnya, gerakan agama ini skeptis dalam memandang modernisme, sekularisme,
dan individualisme. Gerakan ini justru mengadopsi teknologi dan sistem moneter modern
ala Barat. Tidak hanya itu, gerakan ini juga mengklaim bahwa nasionalisme religious di
negara-bangsa modern merupakan ide bentukannya. Pada kenyataannya, gerakan agama
ini justru mengalami kerancuan dalam memahami antara konsep westernisasi, modernisasi
dan globalisasi, hingga seolah ia kehilangan identitas dirinya. Identitas agama dianggap
penting karena menjadi spirit, dasar pijakan, visi, dan misi sebuah gerakan.
The antiglobal religion in Mark Juergensmeyer’s view is the embodiment of the anti-
Westernism movement. This religious movement hates any kind of Western-style
modernity, both in economic, political and cultural exploitation. Strangely, this religious
movement was skeptical in viewing modernism, secularism and individualism. This
movement actually adopted technology and a modern Western-style monetary system. Not
only that, this movement also claimed that religious nationalism in the modern nation-state
was an idea formed. In fact, this religious movement actually experienced confusion in
understanding between the concepts of westernization, modernization and globalization,
until it seemed that it lost its identity. Religious identity was considered important because
it became the spirit, foundation, vision and mission of a movement.
