Abstract

This study aims to explore the passive Islamophobia in the arts and culture subjects on the KTSP and K-13 curriculum of secondary schools. Employing the representation theory, this article explores the relationship between marginalit and Islamophobia integrated into the fine arts curriculum. Through content analysis of 2 textbooks for grades VII and VIII, some elements of marginalization in the Islamic cultural values were found. The conception of Indonesian nationality originates from various internal solidarity and contestation between Islamism, Hinduism and secularism in resistance to imperialism. The fallacy in the narrative of the mainstream of Indonesian nationalism seen as deeply rooted in the legacy of Majapahit/Hinduism, which unwittingly calls Indonesia the new Majapahit needs to be straightened out. The construction of cultural nationalism, meanwhile, overrides Islamic culture and identity. This article indicates that the teaching of the nationality of Indonesian culture does not consider the heritage of Islamic arts and culture. The marginality and exclusion of Islamic arts and culture in the construction of Indonesian nationality through the art curriculum and art education policy shows passive Islamophobia internalized therein, instead of the existence of accommodation and respect for Islamic culture. Artikel ini bertujuan menjelaskan Islamophobia pasif yang terdapat dalam mata pelajaran seni budaya di sekolah menengah dalam kurikulum KTSP dan K-13. Melalui teori representasi artikel ini mengeksplorasi hubungan antara marginilitas dan islamophobia yang terintenaslisasi dalam kurikulum seni rupa. Melalui metode analisis konten terhadap 2 buku mata pelajaran kelasVII dan VIII, ditemukan unsur marginalisasi nilai budaya Islam di dalamnya. Sejatinya Konsepsi kebangsaan Indonesia bersumber dari berbagai solidaritas internal dan kontestasi antara Islamisme, Hindu dan sekularisme, dalam perlawanan terhadap imperialis. Kekeliruan narasi arus utama nasionalisme Indonesia yang dipandang berakar kuat pada warisan Majapahit /Hindu, yang tanpa disadari menyebut Indonesia sebagai Majapahit baru perlu diluruskan. Sementara itu, konstruksi nasionalisme budaya mengesampingkan budaya dan identitas Islam. Temuan artikel ini menyimpulkan bahwa pengajaran kebangsaan budaya Indonesia tidak mempertimbangkan warisan seni dan budaya Islam. Marjinalitas dan eksklusi seni dan budaya Islam dalam konstruksi kebangsaan Indonesia melalui kurikulum seni dan kebijakan pendidikan seni menunjukkan Islamofobia pasif yang terinternalisasi didalamnya, alih-alih adanya akomodasi dan penghargaan terhadap budaya Islam
