Abstract

Since the introduction of the Darmasiswa and KNB programmes and the opening of enrolment for Malagasy students in Indonesia, they have faced significant challenges in cross-cultural adaptation. This study examines stereotypes related to the origins and physical appearance of Malagasy students based on Edmund Husserl's phenomenology through a qualitative descriptive approach involving in-depth interviews, observations, and documentary studies of nine informants. The findings reveal three dimensions: stereotypical experiences (physical assessment, social labelling, impact on self-confidence); cultural intermediation strategies (acting as ‘ambassadors’, coping mechanisms, support from the Malagasy community); and the management of communication misunderstandings through linguistic adjustments and reduced speech in situations prone to prejudice.
