Popis: The article analyzes the features of development and the main vectors of transformation of the historical Indonesian memory within the framework of the public historical and educational organization “Jejak Islam Untuk Bangsa” as one of the segments of the cultural trend in the modern Muslim Ummah. It is shown that the activity of Muslim intellectuals is comparable with the same roles and contributions of secular agents of historical politics and actors in memorial culture. The author analyzes the contribution of the Ummah to the functioning of historical memory. It is assumed that Muslim intellectuals actively use the symbolic resources of the historical imagination, constructing negative images of the Others, which has fundamental importance for the modern culture of collective historical memory in Indonesia. The article shows the role of ideological contradictions in the pluralistic Indonesian society, which affect the memorial practices and strategies of Muslim intellectuals significantly. It is assumed that the model of the collective memory of the Ummah in particular stimulates the development of the policy of memory in general, actualizing the trends of the sovereignization of the history of Islam in Indonesia, contributing to its activation and inspiring indirect legitimization of radical sentiments and ideas. In general, the presented article shows that the historical politics with the participation of Muslim intellectuals generates various collective memories legitimized in different memorial cultures, including attempts to sovereignize the history of Islam in the wider contexts of the political collective memory of Indonesia. It is shown that the Muslim historical imagination stimulates the simultaneous and parallel co-development of secular and Islamic memories based on opposing memorial cultures.
