ABSTRACT The article explores Islam as an element of the social and symbolic formations created in the context of long-distance trade relations in the Aru and the Kei islands of southeast Maluku. The Muslim migrants and traders who settled in the area in the early colonial period created places that served as entry points to the local, autochthonous society. Even as these sites allowed Muslims to control access to local cultural domains, they allured local people with possible access to trade wealth and mobility. By creating conceptual and tangible boundaries around the indigenous domain, early Islam anticipated the contrast between universally valid religious convictions and materially embedded cultural forms. This contrast became significant after the large-scale conversions to Christianity and Islam in the late colonial period. Islam was also transformed by its interaction with various cosmopolitan discourses, but it has remained more accommodating than Christianity towards socially embedded ritual practices and material symbols. This raises the question whether ‘cultural Islam’ should be defined by its neutral, apolitical attitude towards the secular state which is complicated by the fact that the culturally embedded Islam in Maluku took form in the absence of centralised state power.

印度尼西亚马鲁古周边的伊斯兰转型

摘要 本文探讨了伊斯兰教作为在阿鲁岛和马鲁古东南部的凯岛的长途贸易关系背景下所创造的社会和象征形式的一个要素。早期殖民时期在该地区定居的穆斯林移民和商人创造了一些地方,作为进入当地本土社会的入口。即使这些网站允许穆斯林控制对当地文化领域的访问,它们也吸引了当地人民可能获得贸易财富和流动性。通过围绕土著领地创造概念和有形的界限,早期伊斯兰教预见到普遍有效的宗教信仰与物质嵌入的文化形式之间的对比。在殖民时期后期大规模皈依基督教和伊斯兰教之后,这种对比变得显着。伊斯兰教也因与各种世界性话语的互动而发生了变化,但在融入社会的仪式实践和物质符号方面,它仍然比基督教更加通融。这就提出了一个问题,“文化伊斯兰教”是否应该以其对世俗国家的中立、非政治态度来定义,而马鲁古文化嵌入的伊斯兰教是在缺乏中央集权的情况下形成的。
