Our purpose is to shake established views in what we consider to be an urgent quest for dealing with prejudice. We therefore seek to draw attention to the following: How Centre structures and large culture boundaries are sources of prejudice How deCentred intercultural threads address prejudice by dissolving these boundaries How, in everyday small culture formation on the go, the cultural and the intercultural are observable and become indistinguishable How agency, personal and grand narratives, discourses, and positioning become visible in unexpected ways How we researchers also bring competing narratives in making sense of the intercultural How third spaces are discordant and uncomfortable places in which all of us must struggle to achieve interculturality This book is therefore a journey of discovery with each chapter building on the previous ones. While throughout there are particular empirical events (interviews, reconstructed ethnographic accounts and research diary entries) with their own detailed analyses and insights, they connect back to discussion in previous chapters.

There are however problems to be faced, in the form of prejudice and power structures, some of which operate at a global level of inequality. In looking at this, I will consider competing discourses of culture, which, in different ways, either contribute to or oppose a perceived and branded ‘Western’ failure to recognise the proficiency of perceived and branded ‘non-Western’ cultural realities. Deep prejudice remains hidden between the lines of apparent praise and recognition; and common statements about culture are too easily used as literal evidence for the essentialist theories of culture that feed these prejudices. At the same time there is evidence of unexpected movements of bottom-up globalisation, where marginalised communities claim the world with an alternative modernity. Furthermore, once we begin to underst...

They are dealt with in detail in chapter 7 of Holliday (2013), where I locate them in the particular cultural products domain of my grammar of culture, as the underpinnings of statements about culture, which are cultural products in the sense that they are produced by people in a particular cultural setting as projections of how they want to be seen. (Throughout, the domains of the grammar are in bold. A brief description of the grammar can be found at http://adrianholliday.com/articles/.) A discourse is a way of using language which represents ideas about how things are. Discourses which are specialised ways of talking and writing that belong to particular groups, such as technical, professional, academic and political discourses, can be a powerful means of establishing ideas and forms of behaviour. They draw people in ...

The existing intercultural experience that participants have built from early childhood must be recognised as a major resource. Interculturality is a reflexive awareness of Self and Other in a crossing of boundaries which resonates with C. Wright Mill’s “sociological imagination.” A critical cosmopolitan notion of the third space concept is employed as an open rather than an intermediary space—a creatively investigative space which enables us to work on finding ourselves as new and even more enriched selves across boundaries, and where all of us are hybrid. The focus should be on self among others rather than the nature of difference between national or other large cultures. This resonates with the radical agenda of cultural studies, where there is critical intervention against structures of prejudice, with particular attention to countering what I refer to as powerful essentialist W...
