	Pit Bull Forums - Hayward breeder blames attacks on poor training, care
		Bianca Abangan has been a pit bull breeder in Hayward for about two years, and her boyfriend was a breeder for 15 years before that.
		Abangan says she is always dismayed to hear about pit bull attacks because she knows that the dogs — when properly bred, trained and kept — can be wonderful pets and companions.
		Abangan said a lot of the very large pit bulls involved in recent incidents are likely mixed breeds, because the standard American pit bull, the size she sells, weighs less than 80 pounds.

	abangan \| \| Dictionary & Translation by Babylon

	Abangan History \| ema_01_package.xml
		Geertz distinguished abangan beliefs from the similarly syncretistic Javanese aristocratic priyayi tradition, but most observers now use the term priyayi to indicate aristocratic status and culture in general and regard it as part of the broader abangan or Kejawen category.
		Abangan belief was the responsibility of the powerful Department of Education and Culture and in the early 1980s came close to receiving recognition as "belief" distinct from "religion."
		Traditionally, abangan belief was not at all organized, but from the late colonial period formal organizations began to emerge, generally centered on mystical practice (kebatinan, "innerness").

	Book Review
		For example, abangan (nominal) Muslims were believed to prefer Megawati Sukarnoputri’s Indonesian Democracy Party—Struggle (PDI-P) as that same type of voter had preferred the Indonesian National Party (PNI) associated with her father or the Indonesian Communist Party (PKI) forty-four years earlier.
		King often uses the term abangan and finds, in the final analysis, that the “basic cleavage in the Indonesian electorate between areas supporting nationalist and religiously inclusive parties (abangan) and areas supporting Islamic parties (santri) has not disappeared” (p.
		Liddle and Mujani’s findings on the abangan need to be further studied, but the suggestion of changes in the population’s socio-cultural characteristics, as is implied by the disappearance of the abangan, needs to be addressed by King.

	Indonesia, a Model for the Islamic Civilization in Transition to the 2lst Century
		Santri-Islam is in Indonesia orthodox and clings to the letter while abangan Muslims adopt into their religious way of life pre-Islamic, even pre-Hinduistic cultural elements and rituals.
		In this sense the fight in Indonesia is not one between local traditionalism and secularism introduced from the outside.
		Abangan is secular but still original, therefore not a fashionable idea of Western-influenced intellectuals.

	Gary Dean - Javanese Santri Islam
		This has led to further polarisation of the abangan from the santri in contemporary Java.
		Koentzereningerat (1985) claims that Agami Jawi (abangan) Muslims who do not perform solat or give zakat seldom neglect to fast during the entire month of Ramadan, because it is in accordance with the indigenous idea of tirakat, of deliberately seeking out hardship and discomfort for religious reasons.
		The gamis is a type of loose-fitting, long-sleeved, round-collared shirt worn by santri men, often for formal religious occasions or for Friday Prayers where it is accompanied with a chequered sarung.

	Javanese Religion
		The most popular is Agami Jawi, "Javanese religion," which Geertz calls Abangan.
		The second type is a puritanical Islam known as Agami Islam Santri, "Santri Islam religion," called Islam Santri by Geertz.
		The rest are only nominal Muslims called abangan, whose religion is based more on animism, mysticism, Javanese Hinduism and Javanese Buddhism.

	Global and local in Indonesian Islam
		The beliefs and rituals of the abangan, to be sure, are very much at variance with those of learned, scripturalist Islam, and especially with the textbook presentations of it.
		Relations between santri and abangan have not always been as antagonistic as they were in the 1950s and 1960s.
		In fact, one wonders whether the apparent existence of the three patterns santri, abangan and priyayi was not simply an artefact of the political struggle between the Muslim parties (Masyumi, NU), the Communist Party and the nationalist PNI of those years.

		All of these authors described Abangan societies of the 1950s in which marital fidelity was not highly regarded and both males and females, if the opportunity arose, did not consider it immoral to have extra-marital sexual encounters.
		Unmarried girls of 16 were considered old maids and were an embarrassment to the family, so it was common that they would be married off as an initiation into adult life and to save families the 'inconvenience' of an unwed pregnant daughter.
		Amongst Abangan Javanese then, before the advent of the New Order, the word kawin could be considered to represent marriage as little more than an Islamic ritual masking a sexually liberal Hindu-Buddhist society.

	HyperGeertz-Text: Relig_Belief&Econ_Behavior
		The religious elaboration of the abangan outlook includes agricultural ceremonies, folk tales, curing practices and a theory of disease, witchcraft, numerical divination systems, rites of passage, and a belief in spirits; but the central ceremony in the traditional Javanese religious system is the communal feast, the slametan.
		The abangan village came to be comprised of a group of approximately equal status subsistence farmers,--each with more or less identical political, social, economic, and religious rights and duties, all locked together in an intricate system of mutual aid and assistance in order to make efficient wet rice agriculture possible.
		In a sense, the prijaji world view is but an intellectualization of the abangan, and the abangan a corruption of the prijaji; the santri ethic, for all its Near Eastern pretentions, is still but a slightly dif~iated interpretation of both abangan and prijaji conceptions.

		With abangan he means those Javanese who are only nominal Muslims, that is the group not performing the five daily prayers prescribed by Islamic law or fasting during the month of Ramadan.
		The abangan group is the largest variant of religiosity in Java according to Geertz and it is a syncretism of Hindu-, Buddhist-, animistic- and Islamic elements wherein the pre-Islamic elements seem to dominate.
		The third variant of the Javanese religiosity is the priyayi which, according to Geertz, is the Hindu cultural elite which primarily is connected to the bureaucratic parts of the society (in contrast to the abangan who are peasants and the santri who are merchants).

	Indonesia: An Effort to Hold Together
		In Javanese society, there has long been a division between the santri, the minority of Moslems who take their faith quite seriously—making pilgrimages to Mecca, and regarding religious rules as their guiding principles—and the abangan, the much larger group for whom Islam is a nominal religion, grafted onto the older traditions of the island.
		The santri tend to include merchants and traders who live near the coast; the abangan tend to be peasants who work the inland rice paddies.
		The Communists had found many members among the abangan, but most of these people took the teachings of Marx about as seriously as they had taken the refinements of the Koran.

	Gene Expression: Many faces of Turkey
		The abangan peasantry give nominal adherence to Islam, though in practice they tend to be more influenced day-to-day by Javanese spiritualism and traditional customs.
		As Javanese society becomes more urban & modern it will likely be that the abangan will disappear as a major force and the santri traditionalists will be opposed by "modernists" (which will likely include the cultural descendents of priyayi cosmopolitanism).
		It should not surprise Westerners that economic advancement and some level of modernity tends to spark religous observance, after all, the Renaissance was followed by the Reformation and Counter-Reformation, with the relatively relaxed medieval Roman Catholic mass religion giving way to more personal and strict religious dispensations.

		Anthropologist Clifford Geertz divides the Javanese population in three main groups: the abangan, the priyayi and the santri.
		The Abangan (Agami Jawi) are nominal Muslim, but to a great extent they are guided by the ancient belief, the kejawen.
		The abangan remain two possibilities: surrender -rela-, and worship -bekti.

	Gary Dean - Doing Business in Indonesia, from a Western perspective
		This must be kept in mind when attempting to generalise about 'Javanese culture'; it is not unitary, but rather comprises a composite of influences, both modern and traditional, religious and secular/nationalist.
		The archetypal abangan is rather conservative, resistant to change, and tends towards fatalism and acceptance of misfortune and their place in society.
		Like the abangan, the priyayi are nominally Muslim, however their worldview is highly influenced by the culture of the royal courts of Java, such as Yogyakarta and Surakarta, which are highly influenced by the aesthetics and religious ideals of the Hindu era in Java.
