Studi ini akan mengulas bagaimana penalaran asosiatif memungkinkan diskursus kebudayaan Indonesia bergulir dan membingkai para pelakunya dalam satu proyek kehidupan sosial bersama. Penalaran asosiatif, sejauh beberapa kajian antropologi terdahulu memperlihatkan, dikonseptualisasi sebagai fitur cara berpikir masyarakat primitif yang cacat dalam menangkap realitas khususnya ketika dibandingkan dengan modus berpikir modern yang saintifik. Telusur-telusur antropologis lainnya terhadap bentuk rasionalitas yang berbeda dari rasionalitas yang identik dengan masyarakat Barat cenderung mengabaikan konseptualisasi ini dan lebih berfokus memperlihatkan bagaimana penalaran liyan yang dikajinya juga logis dan masuk akal. Namun, penulis melihat konsep penalaran yang juga galib dianggap tak menaati prinsip kemasukakalan ini mempunyai faedah justru memungkinkan hubungan sosial yang ekstensif terselenggara, dan ini terlihat dari bagaimana tubuh pengetahuan diskursus kebudayaan Indonesia yang metaforis memungkinkan para pelaku yang tak sulit dikatakan bagian dari kehidupan modern sekalipun membayangkan keterlibatan dirinya dalam diskursus ini. Dibayangkan sebagai watak dari sebuah bangsa, kebudayaan senantiasa memperoleh tempat sebagai topik yang urgen karena dianggap variabel yang tak bisa tidak diperhitungkan bila bangsa bersangkutan ingin menaja diri menjadi bangsa yang unggul, betapapun dalam praktiknya kita tak bisa mempertanggungjawabkan adanya entitas empiris kebudayaan Indonesia. Kapasitas analogi antropomorfistis kebudayaan yang membuat para pelaku secara imajiner merasa berada dalam kompetisi konstan dengan entitas kebangsaan lainnya, dalam praktiknya, jauh lebih berarti untuk menggerakkan mereka sebagai kolektivitas alih-alih plausabilitasnya.

ABSTRACT
This study will examine the way associative reasoning enacting the discourse of Indonesian culture and involving the actors in a common social life project. Associative reasoning, in numbers of past anthropological studies, was commonly conceptualized as primitive society?s mode of false thinking which is unable to perceive objective reality especially when it came under comparison with modern scientific reasoning. The more recent anthropological studies on different form of rationalities compared to the Western one tend to dismiss this conceptualization and took more interest in showing how the other mode of reasoning is also logical and making sense in its own term. I, however, thought that the mode of thinking which disregard the rule of coherence is essential in enabling extensive social relationship, and this case is being shown by how the discourse of Indonesian culture make it possible for its actors to imagine his or her involvement in the discursive community. Imagined as the character of a nation, culture is always having a central place in common conversations due to it being considered as inseparable aspect for a nation which strives to be greater than the other, even though, in practice, I suspect, we could never prove the empirical presence of Indonesian culture. This anthropomorphist analogy of culture, which imaginarily providing the actors with a sensation of being in a constant competition with other national communities, in practice, is a far more important capacity in mobilizing people as a collectivity rather than its plausibility;This study will examine the way associative reasoning enacting the discourse of Indonesian culture and involving the actors in a common social life project.

This paper was written against a background of interest to trace the formation of sociological ways of thinking that tend to legitimize power in Indonesia. During the preparation, I found problems in the perspective commonly used in researching the formation process of knowledge; knowledge is considered a form of power. Such approach is problematic because it denies subjectivity ? which includes cognitive activity and experiences that are owned only by the existence of the related ? absolute in the process of both producing and reproducing knowledge. Yet this criticism isn?t easy to elaborate because the question is, how do we insert subjectivity when the origins of sociological thinking that we?re talking about is an effort to continue in a non-reflective way of sociology in the U.S. in the Cold War era, who?s way of thinking MENATURALISASI the existing social order and its ideology. Finally, I placed Selo Soemardjan ? a figure that became the center of this analysis because of his irreplaceable role in institutionalizing sociological ways of thinking (U.S.) in Indonesia ? as a translator. Quoting Bruno Latour?s view (1987), only with exploring the process of dissemination of knowledge as an activity of translation can we find energy that has been invisible all this time in a variety of knowledge analysises. For me, this concept helps reveal subjectivity that has been buried by views that place actors as passive mediums in the forming or spreading of knowledge that is more true or beneficial in preserving structure.

In his classical work title Political Order in Changing Society, Huntingington (1968) explained that in one side order involved political institutionalization, whereas in the other side the institutionalization needs a strong economic foundation. The economic crises that took place in the mid of 1960s and in 1997 have a bearing on the political order in Indonesia. As non-oil and gas commodities of export, forests with its relatively high market price had also been affected, particularly the institutionalization of its management. This article attempted to find the relation between political order and forest management in Indonesia.

This paper examines the precarious coexistence between Muslims and Christians in post- conflict Maluku, Indonesia. The lasting effects of brutal conflict have left fear and trauma as the dominant emotions in the relationships of local residents. While these emotions are commonly seen as hindrances to peace by scholars and non-scholars alike, in post-conflict societies, they are inescapable and deeply ingrained. Nevertheless, they not only drive division, but also the desire to maintain peace. In Maluku, both Christians and Muslims are bound by the shared understanding that their current peaceful coexistence is delicate, and they must be cautious in their interactions with people of different religions, despite ongoing animosity and mistrust. This ongoing reality in Maluku calls for a reassessment of the normative tendency in peace discourses, which expect peace to be either ideal or impaired and tend not to be contextual in evaluating peace. To understand post-conflict coexistence better, we need to comprehend how emotions towards other groups operate in the emerging social settings.
