Abstract

Technology and theology are two fundamental elements in fulfilling the activities of human physical and spiritual needs. Theology can be defined as the systematic study of the nature of the divine and, more broadly, of religious belief, while technology is the application of scientific knowledge to the practical aims of human life. The latter produces a variety of new breakthroughs that have the ability of artificial intelligence in a variety of modern devices, such as fingerprint, RFID, CCTV, and so on. In the library, these tools are used as a support for the compliance of the performance of the library actors in accordance with the standard operating procedures (SOP). Compliance is also driven by religious morality as theological obedience in the form of hisab and muraqobah expressed through various religious activities, such as prayer and recitation to build the discipline of the actors. This phenomenon is examined as an effort to uncover the effects of technology and theology on the discipline of the actors in library management. This descriptive qualitative research with field research as a method of data collection was done in the libraries of three Islamic universities in Yogyakarta, i.e., UIN Sunan Kalijaga, UMY, and UII. This study uses a posthuman paradigm and a phenomenological approach. Data collection is done by observation, interview, and documentation. Interviews are conducted with three library heads, three technology division heads, three people who handle the religious program, a number of librarians, and users. Data validation uses data triangulation techniques. The data are then analyzed using interactive models of Miles and Huberman through the process of collection, reduction, display, and verification. This study indicates a number of important findings. First, the interaction of library actors in the technology and theological frameworks found the practice of interaction between actors in libraries that represent a socially thick relationship with structural, collegial, and cultural nuances that utilize technology and theology as supporting activities in the interaction. Technology offers easiness for the interaction both individually and institutionally by utilizing social media, such as Facebook, WhatsApp, Messenger and website pages as a means to communicate. Likewise in the theological realm, it is described that there is an interaction activity in planting religious values that are expressed in various religious activities. Second, mediation of technology and theology in the library causes changes in perception and praxis. Perceptions of the presence of modern technology change the way of viewing and insight, even the lifestyles of the actors in the library, while the praxis of technology makes manual and traditional activities shift to the process of online automation and digitization. Meanwhile, theological mediation is seen in relation to religious phenomena which include religious programs or activities carried out in the library, such as lectures, Qur‟an recitation, duha praying, and so on. This religious phenomenon has an effect on the inculcation of religious values both in terms of perception and praxis. Third, there is a contestation between technology and theology in disciplining actors in libraries because they are no longer regarded as mere tools or concepts, but are actants or actors capable of providing disciplinary effects. Administratively, this addresses that the actors in library management are in a position of discipline. However, if seen in their performance, they can be grouped into a number of disciplinary patterns, i.e., coming on time directly to work, coming on time then leaving, and coming to work late. This discipline pattern shows weaknesses in disciplining actors through technology, so it is necessary to instill internal values which in this case are theological in nature to cover up the weaknesses of the above disciplines. Theological discipline patterns include hisab and muraqobah. At this point, technology and theology have the disciplinary power needed and support one another. The disciplinary power of these two elements implicitly contains disciplinary contestation in library management. Technology is based on external regulation, while theology is based on regulation of internal values. This study finds a novelty shown in a contested phenomenon between technology and theology. From the intensive search, there has not been a piece of writing that fully contests technology and theology in library management. The intended contestation specifically indicates a power struggle called contesting or competing power based on the panopticon framework in Michel Foucault's disciplinary power. The terminology of competing power is an important concept that is processed in libraries to build critical awareness for library managers for a number of reasons. Technological strength cannot be separated from weaknesses that can be manipulated by technology actors for certain interests, so there is a need for awareness of other strengths, i.e., theological values as power guiding behavior. However, this internal power also has a weakness, that is, the instability of human transcendental values.
