In the study I utilize French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu&#x2019;s theoretical framework known as theory of practice, hardly ever used in the study of religion (Islam) in Indonesia. The study reveals that the ulama have played a strategic role in the Indonesian society and their role continues to be important in the context of rapid social, political, and economic changes. However, the religious authority of ulama has been fragmented and the global media and information technologies have made the authority more pluralized. The religious authority is a competitive field in which traditionalist, reformist, radicalist, and new entrants compete for gaining recognition. The study also affirms that the religious authority and recognition are exercised only by the symbolic power.Keywords: religious authority, ulama, symbolic power, Indonesia</description><publisher lang="en-US">State Islamic University North Sumatra</publisher><contributor lang="en-US"/><date>2013-06-02</date><type>Journal:Article</type><type>Other:info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion</type><type>Journal:Article</type><type>File:application/pdf</type><identifier>http://jurnalmiqotojs.uinsu.ac.id/index.php/jurnalmiqot/article/view/79</identifier><identifier>10.30821/miqot.v37i1.79</identifier><source lang="en-US">MIQOT: Jurnal Ilmu-ilmu Keislaman; Vol 37, No 1 (2013)</source><source>2502-3616</source><source>0852-0720</source><language>eng</language><relation>http://jurnalmiqotojs.uinsu.ac.id/index.php/jurnalmiqot/article/view/79/64</relation><rights lang="en-US">Copyright (c) 2016 Miqot Jurnal Ilmu-ilmu Keislaman</rights><recordID>article-79</recordID></dc>
