Abstract

This study investigated the strategy of Islamic popular novels written by Forum Lingkar Pena (FLP) community within the arena of cultural struggle. Using the sociology of literature perspective, it found that the format of Islamic popular novels put Muslim in a portended condition due to the decline of Islamic empire, underdevelopment of general knowledge, ignorance and Muslim morality as a conflict to the real world. The placement of Islamic ideology in the form of realism novel presented authentic evidence of Islamic ideas as the only truthful way. The use of the novel as works of art allowed FLP to play significant ideological and economical roles in the arena of class and ideological struggle. Ideologically, popular novels were used as a tool of hegemony to construct collective will of determined Muslim subject. Islamic popular novels, economically had an added value that created jobs for members and their network provided consumers for the production of the novels. The combination of religious value and the form of popular novels became effective and powerful over another hegemony tools in imposing the super structural values in establishing infrastructural power.
