The State of

2. On Culture
“No culture can live if it attempts to be exclusive”
Mahatma Gandhi
Culture is not only part of our identity, but also part of our problem.
It remains the primary source of our identity, and the primary source of our
marginalisation of others which it constantly reproduces and reaffirms.
3. Culture
is an operative and not a descriptive concept
one.
Therefore Culture needs to be resituated in the sense that its
diffuseness has to be accepted and must lead to a constant
historicisation and contextualisation , to gain meaning on
intercultural
dialogue.
In skilful discussion, you make a choice; in a dialogue,
you discover the nature of choice.
On Dialogue
William Isaacs
4. The
nature of dialogue is “exploratory”
and
no rules can be fixed for processes of dialogue
because
its essence is learning
which must be based on
exploration, a process that defies limitation
and restriction.
5.
6. We need an everyday action geared to help generate
“dialogic imaginations”and “dreams” a la Martin Luther
King Jr.,
Tony Morrison and Arundhati Roy, which foster networksof
solidarity and connectivity without erasing the uniqueness
of others
Equally, we require conceptual tools that will enhance our
understanding of psychosocial and cultural processes, and
shed light on constructive ways towards the regeneration
of ethics capable of dealing with problems without falling
into simplistic relativism.
What do we need
7. “Those who are locked in the cage of one culture, their own, are always in a
state of latent war and do not know it” Robert Hanvey
This statement by anthropologist Robert Hanvey may be expressed
also in another way: those who feel uncomfortable away from their
homeland or away from their language are only half citizens and
inadequate actors in the global market.
Opening up to the world without losing one’s roots; addressing reality
from many perspectives; discovering the boundaries of one’s
culture by interacting with that of others; experiencing the
commonality of human links in spite of visible differences: these are
the goals to which the Intercultura Foundation will give substance
and support, by studying and developing structures and practices
for intercultural learning.
