Abstract

The impact of globalization on higher education, understood as the increasing interconnectedness of academic systems, student mobility, and the circulation of knowledge across borders, has shaped students’ experiences of Studying Abroad (henceforth SA) and influenced their identity formation. This study explores the aspirations and challenges of the alumni of the student mobility program held by the Ministry of Religious Affairs (MORA) called MORA Overseas Student Mobility Awards (MOSMA), focusing on how they navigate identity in diverse cultural and linguistic settings throughout their SA journeys. Utilizing a narrative inquiry approach with a qualitative orientation, the research draws on Darvin and Norton’s model of language, identity, and investment. The data were collected through semi-structured interviews with four Indonesian SA students from three Islamic universities in East Java, ensuring representation of diverse perspectives. Thematic analysis was conducted to identify their aspirations, struggles, and identity negotiations. Results indicate that SA supports the acquisition of cultural, social, and linguistic capital but requires negotiation of identities when facing insecurities related to language use and integration into foreign cultures. The interplay between language learning and identity formation is complex, often shaped by unequal power relations in these contexts. Upon return, the students also participated in additional identity negotiations as they reconciled the SA-transformed self with pre-SA roles, synthesizing global experiences not consistently valued in home settings.

Abstract

Defamiliarization is the study of how the literary work becomes strange and foreign, differs from the others. This qualitative descriptive study uses Victor Shklovsky’s Defamiliarization theory to see the opposition characters created by Najib Mahfudz in Awal dan Ahir. The result of this study is that Najib Mahfudz creates unique characters such as Nafisah, a mother who was abandoned by her husband in the face of social and economic situations with her four children after the revolution in Egypt. The protagonist characters such as Samirah, Hasanain, Husain, Nafisah, Bahia and Farid Affandy, represent the typical characters created by Mahfudz along with his social and psychological situations. Likewise, the Antagonist characters are so uniquely created by Mahfudz. The social situation, political economy and psychology of Egyptian society also colour the distinctive characters of the story. The characters created by Najib Mahfudz both from the antagonist and the protagonist are very interesting structurally, the characters built by both protagonist and antagonist are not directly related but meet in other forms of social relationships, which is different from other novels in terms of generally. Najib Mahfudz seems very good at making different characters so that it appears that these characters come to life in front of the reader.
