The Linguistic Landscape of Mosques in Indonesia: Materiality and Identity Representation

Description

During its development, mosques in Indonesia have become
a potential place with friction and conflict over the struggle
for identity and the infiltration of various Islamic ideologies.
This article explores the linguistic landscape in connection
to the use of architectural materials in community mosques
in Malang, Indonesia. The community mosques of
Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) and Non-NU were selected to see
their strategies in contesting their identities representation.
The research findings demonstrate that the materiality in the
mosques indicates an attempt to designate the identity of
each subculture group. The use of languages displayed in
the mosques also delineates each community mosque’s
efforts to maintain their identity representation from
attempts to confiscate the mosque by a particular group or
ideology. This study points out that in Indonesia, materiality
and linguistic landscape in religious sites (mosques) need to
be considered as an effort to anticipate the sociopolitical
dynamics that develop in the society.
