In his opening address to the 2008 Gulbenkian conference Can There
Be Life Without the Other?, the distinguished writer on cultural
studies Arjun Appadurai summarises the challenge that faces us all:
'If we can agree that dialogue is always a risky affair, we can ask
ourselves what risks are involved and why it is worthwhile, even
compulsory, to take these risks today'. In a time of globalisation
and social instability, finding a way to live with the 'Other' has
never been a more urgent obligation. In the papers in this latest
volume of the "Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation"'s conference series,
thirteen authors explore the risks and the potential of
communication between communities, faiths and cultures. Each writer
brings to the subject a wealth of scholarship; their disciplines
encompass the social sciences, literature, art, religion and
psychology. Each brings, too, a global perspective, as a citizen of
the diasporas of the twenty-first century. They offer a politics of
hope to a world in crisis.
