Offering a unique reading experience, this book examines the
epistemologies of interculturality and explores potential routes to
review and revisit the notion anew. Grounded in different
sociocultural, economic and political perspectives around the
world, interculturality in education and research bears a
paradoxical attribute of 'contradictions' and 'inconsistencies',
making it a polysemous and flexible notion that has no definitive
diagnosis and requires constant unthinking and rethinking. The
author provides a toolbox of 'out-of-box ideas' in the form of
fragmental yet standalone writings and follow-up questions
concerning stereotypes about the very notion of interculturality
and conceptual and methodological flaws in the way it is used.
Readers are encouraged to critically reflect about interculturality
as it stands today in global research and education. In identifying
the paradoxes of interculturality and proposing alternative
directions, the book stimulates a diversity of thoughts about the
notion that goes beyond the 'West'. The book will be an essential
reading for scholars, students and educators interested in
education philosophy, applied linguistics and the broad field of
intercultural communication education.
