Harmonization Discussion of Islamic Party and Christian Journalists Association at Public Sphere

Abstract

This study aims to reveal the involvement of Islamic party politicians, in this case politician Mardani Ali Sera 
from The Prosperous Justice Party (PKS), in conveying his thoughts to the public and private spheres, as 
well as in a discussion of multiculturalism. The discussion had the theme of implementing Pancasila and 
culture organized by the Christian journalists' association (Pewarna). The study used a qualitative 
approach through a critical paradigm, with a textual analysis method known as discourse analysis with 
reference to Habermas 'public and private sphere theory and Talcott Parsons' theory of structural 
functionalism. The results of the study reveal that Mardani Ali Sera uses the delivery of his opinion both 
through public and private spheres by using more latent pattern maintenance values for the theory of 
functional structuralism in solving current problems. The findings from this research are that a healthy 
public sphere is needed to increase understanding of the differences in values in the private sphere, 
strengthen them, and share them in the public sphere by prioritizing harmony.
