Abstract
This research would elaborate an agrarian conflict that occurred between the mining industry and local peasants in the mountains of northern Kendeng in Central Java, Indonesia. The northern Kendeng Mountains are a range of limestone mountains that stretch across the Central and East Java regions. Due to its karst potential, it has invited interest from the mining industry (Widi, 2013). However, the arrival of the mining industry has been rejected by local villagers, the majority of which depended on agriculture for their lives. The surrounding agricultural community believes that the arrival of the mining industry would cause damage to the Kendeng mountainous ecosystem. In the context of support to and resistance against the construction of a cement factory, the involvement of religious leaders (kiai or ulama) and narratives has emerged to the surface. The supports from religious figures and narratives are dynamic. On the one hand, the kiais and their religious narratives are reproduced to enlarge the wave of resistance against the expansion of the mining industry. Yet, on the other hand, the religious figures and narratives have also been exploited to provide a justification for the expansion of the cement-mining industry in the northern Kendeng. The production and reproduction of religious narratives by religious leaders looks very manifest. As a result, the framing contest between the two groups occured, each of which attempted to do framing and counter-framing by reproducing religious narratives and discourses based on Islamic doctrines.
