| Summary / Abstract (Note) | This article examines the depiction and construction of Muslim identity in Indonesian cinematic discourse. We conducted a close reading of our case study, which is Nurman Hakim’s Islamicate film trilogy about Indonesian Muslims: 3 Doa 3 Cinta (2008), Khalifah (2011), and Bid'ah Cinta (2017). Consistently exploring the theme of moderate Muslim identity in the age of global terrorism, the films shed light on the development of Indonesian Muslim self-representation over a decade (2008–2017). The goal of discourse analysis is to assess how narrative and stylistic elements in films are used to construct a moderate Muslim identity. Our findings indicate a shift in the identity discourse between the first and subsequent films. While the first film attempts to construct a moderate Muslim identity as a reaction to illiberal Islamophobia, the second and third films move toward articulating liberal Islamophobia. We argue that this dynamic of representational politics reflects contemporary Indonesia’s shifting political discourse on moderate Islam. |
