Abstract

This article stems from the social gap felt by the Chinese ethnic community in a multiethnic environment, which requires them to be able to blend in and interact with each other. As multicultural ethnic life requires them to understand and establish social relationships with each other, communication awareness becomes an important aspect in preventing conflicts that often arise due to misunderstandings among the multiethnic community. This study aims to analyze the community's communication practices among ethnic groups as an effort to bridge and overcome social gaps post-conflict. The research was conducted using ethnographic methodology to reveal facts by employing observation, interviews, and documentation to gather data. The research informants were 12 individuals, consisting of four Chinese ethnic members and eight local community members. The results reveal that the Chinese ethnic group has implemented several strategies to build communication awareness when interacting with the diverse local community. These strategies include self-awareness of diversity values, building genuine tolerance in the community, the readiness and willingness to engage in open communication, and being good listeners.

Abstract

In this article, we investigate how the simulacra perpetrated by Malaysia and the efforts of the border communities of Jagoi Babang to maintain their identity through a spirit of nationalism towards Indonesia. The border region is a complex space that requires a thorough understanding to avoid being affected by the simulacra perpetrated by the neighbouring country. Drawing on Baudrillard's theories of hyperreality and simulacra, this research explores how border communities filter the various simulacra efforts by Malaysia to change the reality of border communities towards Indonesia. A case study approach involving observation, documentation, and interviews with 15 informants from various backgrounds. The research findings show that the Malaysian state performs simulacra by providing easy access to various facilities, such as educational and health services, as well as to economic opportunities, such as shopping and the use of the ringgit in transactions. In addition, this study shows the efforts of border communities to filter simulacra by strengthening nationalism in Indonesia through the use of Indonesian and local languages, as well as through cultural defence, regularly conducting cultural activities and collaborating with related elements. This study provides practical implications for border communities, government and social workers, especially in designing policies to defend the sovereignty and nationalism of the Indonesian nation.
