Cross-cultural competence refers to the knowledge, skills, and affect/motivation that enable individuals to adapt effectively in cross-cultural environments.” In the course of this seminar we will among others tackle the following questions: What is generally meant by culture? What different concepts of culture are there? How is cultural knowledge acquired? How does it determine the construction of our identity and that of the “Other”? How can it be made fruitful in everyday intercultural discourse? What is meant by interculturality? A reader with relevant material will be supplied at the beginning of the seminar. |
