This issue presents eight original research articles written by 15 scholars from two countries: Indonesia and the Netherlands. This edition highlights a range of themes at the intersection of religion, identity, art, media, and radicalism in both local and transnational contexts. Topics include a digital ethnography of the #IslamNusantara discourse on Instagram, the hybridisation of young Muslims' identities in Yogyakarta's interfaith communities, and a semantic exploration of craving metaphors in Buddhist scripture. Other articles examine the gendered dynamics within deradicalisation processes of former terrorists, the resilience of Balinese Hindu sacred art in the face of philosophical critique, and the preservation of classical Islamic manuscripts in West Java’s pesantren. The issue concludes with a socio-cultural study on the religious identity of ex-adherents of Kawula Warga Naluri in Banjarnegara. Together, these contributions offer a deep and multifaceted understanding of how religious thought and practice are negotiated, sustained, and transformed across diverse cultural and intellectual spaces in Southeast Asia and beyond.
