This book brings together a group of scholars from diverse
disciplines to interrogate everyday life events in various
interpersonal and organizational contexts so as to answer an
age-old question: what happens when (carriers of) cultures meet,
or, when East meets West? The contributors to this volume argue
that, rather than assume clashes of civilizations, assimilation,
conversion and essentialism to be the expected outcomes of cultural
encounters, we should focus our analytical attention on processes
rather than outcomes; on emergence, dialectics, contradictions,
ironies and paradoxes, and complexity. We should focus on
attempting to learn and grow, to synthesize and integrate, to
create and innovate, to change and transform, at personal, micro,
macro and global levels. Or, in one word: hybridity. Contexts of
cultural encounters analyzed in this book range from business
organizations, through individual travels, to personal
philosophies, and from mechanical models to complex systems as
social imaginaries. This book is based on a special issue of World
Futures: The Journal of General Evolution.
