ABSTRACT

Women’s public appearance is subject to ongoing debates. In many parts of the world, women have been forced to cover their body, or to uncover it, due to incompatibility with local, cultural or religious values. This paper is based on ethnographic fieldwork conducted between August 2016 and February 2017 in Aceh, Indonesia; the only province with a special autonomous right to implement Islamic law. This paper aims to look at how Aceh’s shari’a regulates people’s public appearance. The research found that Aceh’s shari’a regulates women more than men and that the law has homogenized the interpretation of religious texts, which is monopolized by the government. The law endorses a unitary standard of women, into one standard model of femininity; particularly regarding their dress. Through the law, the government controls women’s bodies in public and imposes cultural uniformity onto them. This paper argues that the practice of Islamic law in Aceh disseminates a narrative of western hegemony through colonial legacies and stereotypes, in an Islamic culture that is male-dominated and in which women are subjugated.

蒙着面纱还是不蒙着面纱?伊斯兰着装和对女性公开露面的控制

摘要

妇女的公开露面尚需进行不断的辩论。在世界许多地方,由于与当地,文化或宗教价值观不相容,妇女被迫掩盖或揭露尸体。本文基于2016年8月至2017年2月在印度尼西亚亚齐进行的人种志田野调查; 唯一拥有执行伊斯兰教法的特别自治权的省。本文旨在研究亚齐的伊斯兰教法如何规范人们的公众形象。研究发现,亚齐的伊斯兰教法对女性的管理比对男性的管理要多,并且法律使宗教文本的解释同质化,而宗教文本的解释则由政府垄断。法律赞同将妇女的统一标准纳入妇女标准的一种模式;特别是关于他们的着装。通过法律 政府在公共场合控制妇女的身体,并赋予妇女以文化上的统一性。本文认为,在亚齐省,伊斯兰教法的实践通过殖民遗产和刻板印象传播了西方霸权的叙事,而这种伊斯兰文化是男性主导的,女性被奴役。
