| Summary: | The digital era of information technology appears to be
a new space for the Indonesian Shiite communities to express
their existence and conceal their ‘‘cloak’’ in the country.
Responding to this, the anti-Shia movements have created their online publications and fan pages to counter those Shia’s publications. This article discusses the online media battles on sectarianism issue in the cyberspace of Indonesia in the last three years. Using a critical cultural studies tradition and textual approach, this study tries to examine the rise of Shia and antiShia new media as well as the meanings and contexts in which violent actions occurred amongst the Sunni-Shia Muslim communities on it. |
