摘要：For the people of East Java, Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) is not just a symbol of organization but it is an interpretation in believing the religion teachings and to socialize even more in practicing politics. Although Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) was born from religious figures, but it was not designed as an organization that places religion as an ideology or more specifically as an Islamic party. Nahdlatul Ulama '(NU) is an open organization in the sense of across religions, ethnicities, races and groups which is manifested in the form of a vision, mission, struggle program, membership and leadership. This research uses qualitative method with inductive thinking. In order to obtain quality and in-depth research, data collection used was done by in-depth interviews and data analysis based on the subjectivity of the researchers' interpretation. To understand the meaning of the symbols constructed by Nahdlatul Ulama' NU, Herbert Blumer's symbolic interaction theory is very relevant to be used as a tool of analysis. Supported by the constructivism paradigm which explains how events or reality are created, by means of how reality is symbolically shaped by the nahdliyin in East Java.
