Abstract

This study examines how the identities of students from various ethnicities in Indonesia are negotiated and demonstrated in the context of cross-cultural communication in the campus environment in Madura. In a social space dominated by strong Madurese cultural values—including religiosity, patriarchal social structures, and honorary symbolism—students from non-Madurese backgrounds such as Papua, Javanese, Batak, and Betawi face the need to adjust their expressions of identity to be socially accepted without losing their identity. This study uses a semiopragmatic approach that combines three levels in identity construction: prefiguration (cultural reference), configuration (situational adjustment), and figuration (actual performance in interaction). Data were collected through in-depth interviews and participatory observation       of 15 students representing different ethnicities. The results showed that students used a variety of adaptive strategies, such as controlling communication styles, using cross-cultural symbols (e.g. Islamic greetings as social greetings), humor, and non-verbal contributions in academic forums. Each strategy reflects the dynamics of identity negotiation that are not only interpersonal but also symbolic and political. This research contributes to understanding how identity is not simply culturally inherited, but constructed situationally and pragmatically in the space of social interaction. These findings have important implications for the development of inclusive campus policies, the design of intercultural training programs, and the strengthening of intercultural dialogue spaces in multiethnic higher education environments

Abstract

Mindful tourists are able to appreciate and understand heritage sites better than those who are mindless. Mindfulness is a concept that helps tourists build interpretations that will improve the quality of the experience and create a sustainable relationship between tourists and heritage sites. Mindful travellers are those who are actively engaged with interpretations of heritage sites that result in greater learning and understanding. In contrast, a mindless individual is one who follows a routine, pays limited attention to what he does and is stuck in a rigid mindset. Thus, this study aims to identify, build and validate measures of mindfulness in the context of cultural heritage tourism. This research uses quantitative research methods and is carried out in the Madura region which has cultural heritage tourism potential. The question items used to measure mindfulness were developed based on an extensive review of past literature. The data was collected through the distribution of questionnaires to 150 local Madurese and non-Madurese tourists.. The results revealed from this study show four different factors in measuring mindfulness, namely curiosity and attention, alertness, emotional involvement and openness and flexibility. The findings derived from this study offer new insights in understanding the concept of mindfulness
