Description of  Interculturality Between East and West: Unthink, Dialogue and Rethink (Encounters between East and West)

This book urges readers to develop a radical capacity to unthink and rethink interculturality, through multiple, pluri-perspectival and honest dialogues between the authors, and their students. This book does not give interculturality a normative scaffolding but envisages it differently by identifying some of its polyphonic textures. Chinas rich engagement with interculturality serves to support the importance of being curious about other ways of thinking about the notion beyond the West only. As such, the issues of culture, identity, language, translation, intercultural competence and silent transformations (amongst others) are re-evaluated in a different light. This is a highly informative and carefully presented book, providing scientific insights for readers with an interest in interculturality. Read more
