Abstract
American Jews have long been prominently involved in the American media and film industries, so much so that some commentators have even said they are ‘the backbone of film production in America’. This position has indeed given opportunities for Jewish Americans in the industry to play a prominent role in shaping the business including issues of how Jews and Judaism are represented in film and other media. However, depictions of Jews and Judaism in American movies have changed according to political and cultural conditions. After World War II, a new formula emerged on the silver screen. The reframing of American religious identity as “Judeo-Christian” encouraged directors and producers who were Jewish to promote the concept of America as a Judeo-Christian nation as a response to ongoing anti-Semitism in America. Examining Biblically-themed movies such as The Ten Commandments and Ben Hur-A Tale of the Christ, this presentation intends to explore the connection between the idea of a “Judeo-Christian” tradition and the acceptance of Jewish Americans and recent immigrants by American society. The portrayal of Jews in these movies is interesting to discuss here, not only because Jews and Christians are depicted in the same framework of the Hollywood movie, but also because of the underlying politics of representations.

Frequent appearances in public spaces and discours Frequent appearances in public spaces and discourse do not necessarily make society's acceptance of waria more open. There are many factors that make a society accept the existence of waria, and religion is one of them. At the same time, the religious expressions of waria are continuously questioned.

At this #wednesdayforum, Khanis Suvianita will share the dynamics of Waria's negotiations on gender and religious expression in Gorontalo and Maumere.
Ketika mendengar atau membaca kata "feminisme", ya Ketika mendengar atau membaca kata "feminisme", yang kerap terbesit ialah ini paham "Barat" atau "kebarat-baratan". Kendati pada perkembangannya feminisme bersintesis dengan berbagai ideologi lain (misalnya feminisme Islam), asosiasi sebagai paham asing dan warisan kolonial masih tak terelakkan.

Pertanyaannya, bisakah kita melepaskan feminisme Islam dari paradigma kolonialisme dan transnasional tersebut?

Discussions about Islam and feminism often focus o Discussions about Islam and feminism often focus on Islamic feminism or feminism in Islam. However, not much has highlighted the Muslim women's movement that is resistant to feminism. In fact, the anti-feminism movement from Muslim women in Indonesia has penetrated both the policy and discourse levels in the public sphere. Check out @afifur_rochmans research on the dynamic of moral politics by anti-feminist Muslim women in contemporary Indonesian public spaces.
