Interculturalism: Cultures and Identities
Call for Participation 2016
A Cultures, Traditions, Societies Project
9th Global Meeting
Monday 18th July – Wednesday 20th July 2016
Mansfield College, Oxford, Oxford, United Kingdom
Interculturalism stands at the interface between the individual, local
groups, societies and cultures. These compete, conflict, co-exist and
trigger reactions and responses on a number of levels including the
social, the economic, the political and the personal. These are
reinforced through language, the media, cultural events, social
institutions and migration policies. Amidst all these dynamic and
static forms of interaction, identities are built and consolidated.
The previous meeting of this project recognised that identity is not
something which is fixed and predetermined but rather is continuously
created and recreated from the day-to-day flow of living in
communities. With mobility not simply a commonplace factor in society
but continuing to rapidly expand, people are faced with challenges to
and changes in their own identity as a result of encounters with new
cultures, new ways of living and new ways of thinking. People find
themselves forging and reforming their identities through integration,
assimilation, disintegration, reintegration…and so the pattern
continues.
A key focus to be explored is the use of models emerging out of
intercultural models of thinking, working practices and daily life.
Previous meetings of this project clearly identified the need for
discussions about how to create working platforms within varied
professions such as medical professions, nurses, doctors etc. or
social workers, teachers, local administrative and so on. The 2016
conference will build on the work of previous meetings in this series
and examine the meaning and parameters of Interculturalism, how it is
studied and what it means. How can we talk meaningfully of
interculturalism? What role does hybridity play in understanding the
way cultures morph, adapt and become suited to their context?
A significant theme for debate will be assess the changing and
continually morphing relationship between cultures and identities,
looking particularly at theories of cultural sensibility and its
practical aspects. The conference encourages people working in
multicultural environments to describe, analyse and reflect on their
experiences in the field. Indicative themes to be considered include:
Cultural sensibility? What is it in practice?
the various relationships between 'interculturalism' and
'multiculturalism'
How does understanding of cultural signifiers assist in studying
interculturalism?
Recent criticism has emphasized the problematics of identity and
meaning associated with globalization, diaspora and modernity; how so
and why?
What are the implications of processes adopted to consider the
centre-periphery?
How do the immersion, absorption and the intersection of cultures
promote a better understanding of individual and group identities?
Is "Transculturalism" possible in disputes over resource use?
How can "Transculturalism" be taught more effectively to
professional field workers, such as nurses, teachers, aid workers,
psychologists etc?
What can one learn from and about significance of Cross Cultural
Psychology and Interculturalism, as well as Autism and
Interculturalism and cultural manifestations of identity, Citizenship
and Diaspora?
Are patterns of cognition governed by acculturalisation?
Is intercultural experience therapeutic or problematic in respect of
mental health?
Fear of the other. What society should do in order to overcome these
feelings of fear?
interculturalism in an educational context
religious issues and interculturalism
interculturalism in art, literature and film
the philosophy of interculturalism
interculturalism and the politics of the academy i.e.
interculturalism and interdisciplinarity
interculturalism and language
resistance to interculturalism through monoculturalism
race, ethnicity and interculturalism
racism, violence and interculturalism
interculturalism and sexuality
interculturalism and politics
Presentations will also be considered which deal with related themes.
