A STUDY OF RELIGIOUS SYMBOLS ATTACHED TO THE FORMER TERRORIST CONVICTS' FAMILY AS SEEN IN SOCIAL INTERACTION

Abstract

This research discusses religious symbol attached to the former terrorist convicts' family as seen in social interaction. The theory applied in this study is George Herbert's the symbolic interactionism. This theory is used in analysing the phenomena in society because it is rooted in and focuses on the essence of humans as relational beings. This study is also reinforced by Erik H. Erikson's theory of psychosocial developmental stages and family sociology. The employed research method is qualitative method supported by interpretive paradigm. The data collection methods in this research are in-depth interview, observation, field notes, and documentation. The locations in the study are the areas of Surabaya (including Sidoarjo), Malang and Probolinggo, which are known as the hideout locations of JAD (Jamaah Asharut Daulah) terrorist network. This study concludes that former terrorist convicts and their families still strongly embrace the religious symbols in the process of social interaction. The radicalization that occurs within the family is classified as a discourse, not an action. The resilience should be embraced by these former convict families to strengthen their existence as well as prevent them from returning to their groups. The government and all stakeholders must continue to provide guidance to the families of former terrorist convicts.Keywords: Family; Psychosocial; Religious Symbols; Symbolic Interaction; Former Terrorist Convictsملخصتناقش هذه الدراسة الرموز الدينية للمدانين بالإرهاب السابقين وأسرهم. النظرية المستخدمة في هذه الدراسة هي تفاعل رمزي أشاعه جورج هربرت ميد. تُستخدم نظرية التفاعل الرمزي في تحليل أعراض المجتمع ، لأنها متجذرة في طبيعة البشر وتركز عليها ككائنات علائقية. هذه الدراسة مدعومة أيضًا بنظرية مراحل التطور النفسي والاجتماعي وعلم اجتماع الأسرة التي روج لها إريك إريكسون. الطريقة المستخدمة هي الطريقة النوعية ، باستخدام نموذج تفسيري. طرق جمع البيانات في هذه الدراسة من خلال المقابلات والملاحظات والملاحظات الميدانية والتوثيق المعمقة. تشمل المواقع التي شملتها الدراسة سورابايا (بما في ذلك ...
