This book continues the author's long-term reflections (over 20
years of scholarship and experience in intercultural communication
education) around the fascinating and yet contestable notion of
interculturality in education. As an unstable and polysemic notion,
interculturality deserves to be opened up again and again and there
is a need to engage with it continuously, observing, critiquing and
problematizing its complexities. This book urges researchers,
students and interculturalists to take the time to think carefully
and deeply about interculturality and to find inspiration beyond
the dominating 'Western' ideological world of intercultural
research and education. This book starts from short fragments
written by the author for himself over a period of one year. In
these short statements and notes about interculturality, the author
reflects creatively on the questions he had in mind at the time of
writing and offers some (temporary) answers, which, in turn, are
questioned and revised. Over the 1000 fragments that the author
wrote, he selected about 100, for which he wrote commentaries,
referring to and reviewing current research and debates on
interculturality in the process. One of the specificities of the
book is to be highly multidisciplinary to help us get used to
looking for inspiration in other fields of research and creativity.
The fragments can be read randomly - the reader may open the book
at any page and pick any fragment. The author suggests reading each
individual fragment first and then the accompanying explanatory
texts. While reading them, the reader is also invited to reflect on
any potential addition to what the author wrote - anything they
might dis-/agree with, anything they would have wanted to discuss
with the author. Questions have been added at the end of each
chapter for readers to reflect on and to enrich their own
criticality and reflexivity. The book serves as continuous guidance
for engaging with interculturality.
