This book examines today’s central and yet often misunderstood and misconstrued notion of interculturality. It specifically focuses on one aspect of intercultural awareness that has been ignored in research and education: the presence and influence of things on the way we experience, do, and reflect on interculturality. This book provides the readers with opportunities to engage with interculturality by reflecting on how our lives are full of things and entangled with them. It urges teachers, teacher educators, scholars, and students to open their eyes to the richness that the more-than-human, with which we can reflect, has to offer for intercultural communication education.
Gives the ‘more-than-human’ a central place in interculturality as an object of research and education Proposes a clear and coherent take on interculturality while acknowledging the plurality of perspectives Aids the reader to be reflexive and critical about the co-presence and influence of things in and for interculturality
