讲座介绍: The notion of interculturality has been with us for approximately 60 years. It was introduced first in the US and then Europe, and spread to the rest of the world over the past decades. However, the very idea of interculturality has always been with us: our common history has always relied on encounters between people from different parts of the world. With the accelerating modes of (virtual) mobility that are available today, we have the impression that interculturality is something new. In this talk I want to question some assumptions about the idea of interculturality and offer a critical approach that can make it a ‘fairer’ and realistic notion to work with in different contexts. I will review some of the concepts that have been in use for a long time, and propose alternative terms to renew interculturality. The Beijing-Helsinki model that is currently being developed by Li & Dervin (2018) will also be introduced to illustrate how one can take current critiques into account.
