Sažetak
When identity is conceived as a continuous (re)combination of different identifications (Duchesne and Frognier 2008), as a blend of identifications like age, gender, citizenship, race, religion, sexuality, family, social status or ideology, it is then not a constant but a concept that transcends and changes between “a subject and discursive practices” (Foucault 1970, xiv). If this is true, identities are then created through historically constituted acts of performance, through conditions, and at times that are unique (1970). Identities are then open to change “because their origin is in communal exchanges, and they are being constantly reconstituted through shared understandings, and being kept in good repair through discursive explorations” (Ross 2015, 53). If internationalisation is “the process of integrating an international, intercultural or global dimension into the purpose, functions or delivery of post-secondary education” (Knight 2004, 9), it is then upon the HEI leadership to foster conditions from which discursive practices, “ways of constituting knowledge, together with the social practices, forms of subjectivity and power relations which inhere in such knowledges and relations between them”(Weedon on Foucault 1987, 108), and non-discursive practices, that is “institutions, political events, economic practices and processes” (Foucault 1997, 162) would emerge. The Erasmus mobility programme is only an instrument to the goal. The study has stemmed from the above thoughts. The objective was to provide empirical evidence that there was a relationship between the Erasmus Mobility Programme and students’ citizenship identity perception. Also, that there was a relationship between the study abroad programme and students’ foreign language (L2) proficiency perception.
