El fenomeno de la interculturalidad le impone a la academia cambios y reflexiones nuevas. En el presente ensayo reflexiono sobre los conceptos base que puedan guiar una investigacion sobre insercion profesional de docentes extranjeros y extranjeras en la Universidad de Costa Rica (UCR). Sobresale el concepto de aculturacion. Luego, tomo en cuenta el concepto de shock cultural y como Michael Winkelman resume la tradicion de estudios sobre el tema, contrastandola con aportes de diversos estudiosos. Finalmente presento la vision de Paulo Freire, y de otros autores que comparten su vision del mundo, sobre que es cultura y me sirvo de su aporte para analizar criticamente el concepto de shock cultural. Concluyo que, a pesar de la utilidad que puedan tener conceptos como shock cultural o inteligencia cultural, interesa mas una vision de la cultura que tenga como punto de referencia el contexto. The phenomenon of multiculturalism imposes to the academic world changes and new ideas. In this essay I reflect on the basic concepts that can guide research on professional integration of foreign teachers at the University of Costa Rica. The concept of acculturation appears to be the most important. Then I take into account the concept of culture shock and how Michael Winkelman synthesizes the tradition of studies on the subject, contrasting that contribution with contributions from other authors. Finally I present the vision of Paulo Freire, and other authors who share his approach, on what culture is. I am using their input to critically analyze the concept of cultural shock. I conclude that, although concepts such as cultural shock or cultural intelligence may be helpful, more interested in a vision of culture that that has as its reference point the context.
