The Revival of the Sarong Literary Tradition
Author: Purwana Adi Saputra
So far, whether because of being denied or because of denying their own function, pesantren seem to have been sidelined from literary struggles that are full of movement, dynamics, as well as anomalies.
In fact, in the midst of the literary arena there were those who thought that it was the santri who killed literature from the nation’s culture. In every pesantren, the superficiality of their views leads them to draw shortsighted conclusions that the santri only believe in dogma and old school.
They see that the tradition of memorizing which is actually an Arabic tradition which is syncretized as part of their learning culture, has made these people in sarong lose their imagination.
With his capacity as the most influential figure for the cultural transfusion of this nation, the hypothesis is arbitrarily drawn that pesantren are the real enemy of literary cultivation.
The people in the sarong are intellectuals who marginalize the imaginary side of their own minds. Islamic boarding schools are the right place to turn off the imagination. Islamic boarding schools are institutes where clerics, assisted by their ustadz, forge the heads of the students with forced sledgehammers.
