Abstract

Communication plays a crucial role in sustaining relationships and preserving traditions, particularly for Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs), who face both cultural displacement and the need for adaptation. In this sense, digital communication has become a vital tool that bridges the distance between their homeland and the host country. However, while existing studies often emphasize the economic contributions and emotional challenges of OFWs, less attention has been given to how communication sustains cultural identity in diaspora contexts such as Sweden. The main objective of this study is to explore how OFWs in Stockholm use communication, particularly digital media, to preserve their Filipino identity while navigating Swedish society. Using a case study research design, four OFWs were recruited through snowball sampling. The participants are Filipino citizens who have an adequate length of stay in Stockholm and consistently use digital tools to communicate with their families in the Philippines. The gathered data were analyzed thematically using ChatGPT, while researchers ensured proper usage throughout the process via email-based interviews. Findings revealed that OFWs maintain their identity through food, language use, cultural celebrations, and community participation, while digital platforms are essential for family connection and emotional expression. Despite these strategies, participants reported challenges, including language barriers, discrimination, and isolation, which necessitated adjustments in communication styles to accommodate intercultural interactions. These insights underscore the dual role of communication as both a coping mechanism and a cultural anchor, underscoring the need for culturally responsive policies and inclusive spaces that foster diaspora resilience and cross-cultural understanding within the context of Swedish society.

Abstract

This study investigates the anthems of two prominent Ghanaian universities, the University of Cape Coast (UCC) and the University of Education, Winneba (UEW), to understand how they contribute to institutional identity and serve as tools for institutional branding within a competitive higher education context. The study is informed by Social Identity Theory (Tajfel & Turner, 1979) and Institutional Branding Theory (Balmer & Gray, 2003). Utilising a qualitative multiple case study design, the study purposively selected official lyrics of anthems of both universities, conducting textual analysis complemented by thematic analysis. The findings indicate that UCC and UEW strategically leverage their anthems to project distinct brand identities to both internal and external audiences, with UCC foregrounding pedagogical leadership and national service, and UEW emphasising moral purpose and ethical excellence. Despite these contrasts, three core identity dimensions emerged for both institutions: professional teacher education, institutional pride and prestige, and forward-looking aspirations. The study concludes that university anthems serve as active instruments of identity construction and branding, reinforcing cohesion, distinctiveness, and the institutional mission. These findings underscore the importance of symbolic cultural artefacts in shaping the identity and communication strategies of higher education institutions.

Abstract

This study examines the transnational diffusion of Indonesian dangdut music as a cultural phenomenon contributing to cosmopolitanism and international engagement. The intensification of globalization has progressively reconfigured the boundaries between local and global cultural production, positioning popular music as an aesthetic medium that articulates identity and facilitates cross-cultural exchange. Within this context, the increasing visibility of dangdut beyond Indonesia’s borders raises pertinent scholarly questions regarding the role of aesthetic practices in shaping soft power dynamics and intercultural acceptance. The research is conceptually anchored in multi-track diplomacy, which recognizes the interplay between state and non-state actors in transnational cultural dissemination. Methodologically, it employs a qualitative approach operationalizing Rogers’ theory of diffusion of innovations to analyze how cultural products evolve, adapt, and attain legitimacy within diverse social systems. This framework is integrated with the concept of cosmopolitan aesthetics, which foregrounds cultural hybridity and shared emotional experience as mechanisms fostering cross-cultural resonance. The central argument posits that the international diffusion of dangdut music exemplifies a cosmopolitan process wherein local cultural identities undergo recontextualization rather than erosion within global cultural flows. By conceptualizing dangdut as both an aesthetic expression and a diplomatic instrument, this study contributes to scholarly discourse on cultural diplomacy and offers an alternative paradigm for understanding how cultural practices may function as pathways toward engagement and harmony in contemporary international relations.
