EduBox 01 – Session 03
A culture reflexive approach to the analysis of cross-cultural interactions
The concept of multi-collectivity is essential when trying to understand the complexity and multifaceted nature of intercultural encounters. As will be argued in this session, this approach needs to be complemented by an intercultural perspective as well as a contextual approach, which pays particular attention to power relationships.
The aim of this session is to introduce these three approaches, using the concept of cultural reflexivity as a tool to analyse intercultural encounters and apply them to different settings.
