Community Bonding

Este escrito vierte sobre el diálogo de saberes en los procesos de vinculación comunitaria realizados por estudiantes de la carrera de Desarrollo Sustentable de la Universidad Intercultural de Chiapas. Este tema se analiza desde el enfoque de la interculturalidad crítica y los planteamientos que surgen de la teoría decolonial y la epistemología del Sur. A partir de las experiencias y comprensiones de los estudiantes sobre sus prácticas de vinculación, se definen tres dimensiones analíticas —axiológica, epistemológica y de la acción finalizada—, interconectadas entre sí en una espiral del diálogo de saberes. Con base en estas dimensiones se presentan los análisis de los estudiantes sobre las prácticas de vinculación comunitaria llevadas a cabo a lo largo de su carrera, y se definen aportes que retroalimentan el modelo educativo de las universidades interculturales y los procesos de vinculación que se llevan a cabo en la Universidad Intercultural de Chiapas. Dialogue of knowledge in the community bond: Contributions from the experiences and understandings of the students of the Intercultural University of ChiapasAbstractThis article pours about the dialogue of knowledge in the processes of community bonding carried out by students of the career of Sustainable Development of the Intercultural University of Chiapas (UNICH). This topic is analyzed from the approach of critical interculturality and the approaches that arise from decolonial theory and epistemology of the South. From the students' experiences and understandings about their linking practices, three analytical dimensions are defined - axiological, epistemological and finalized action - interconnected in a spiral of the dialogue of knowledge. Based on these dimensions, students 'analyzes of community engagement practices carried out throughout their careers are presented, and contributions are defined that provide feedback to the intercultural universities' educational model and the bonding processes that are carried out at the UNICH.Recibido: 27 de febrero de 2018Aceptado: 25 de junio de 2018

The phenomenon of culture shock has some impacts on  foreigners (i.e. psychological impact and intellectual impact), especially for foreign students studying in a new country. This research  is aimed at figuring out the dominant aspects of culture shocks faced by the three Thai students studying at Universitas Muhammadiyah Palembang and how they cope with it. Descriptive-qualitative method was used in this research.To collect the data, the researchers used interview and questionnaire. Coding technique was used in analyzing the data. The results showed two dominant aspects of culture shocks found, namely: academic shocks (i.e teacher’s role and attitude, poorly organized program and classroom organization, and local students’ attitude). and social shocks (i.e.women-men relationship, community bonding, habits in social gathering). Generally, the three Thai students coped with the shock by preparing mental and psychology, as well as learning academic destination.

AbstractHaving a focus on wedding rituals of the Turkish communities in Berlin, this research is based on the ways in which rituals strengthen community bonding within immigrants away from their homeland. When done periodically, such rituals reassure social connections within immigrant communities, while creating borders to keep others outside. Unlike weddings in Turkey, those in Germany are performed in purpose-built indoor spaces, isolated from the German community. This voluntary isolation enables the restaging of cultural codes and forms of the homeland, which often results in excess of emotions related to nostalgia. This in turn mutates cultural symbols for younger members of the immigrant community and paves the way to confused identities.
