Beyond universalism and relativism
In this article, I critically consider some of the most relevant dichotomies elaborated during Western modernity – universalism/relativism, subject/object, Self/Other, the West/the Rest, culture/nature – to show how they have come to establish themselves as the product of a dualistic epistemological paradigm and attitude. My main point is that dualism should be overcome by means of achieving a clear self-awareness, emerging from within ‘the West’…
Intercultural communication
Nowadays, intercultural communication can be considered a ‘discipline’ clearly inserted within the ‘system of science’. At first sight, this seems to be a major achievement on the way to elaborate consistent theories and effective models to be applied in the several fields in which intercultural interactions occur. Moreover, the increasing visibility and reputation of Intercultural communication within the ‘scientific community’ may be a useful s…
Beyond universality
This article aims to show that a preliminary philosophical investigation is needed in order to clarify the meaning of multiculturality, interculturality, and transculturality, following two main directions. The first one implies a deconstruction, or rather a ‘decolonization’, of the notion of Western universality, which is still at work, if implicitly, beneath the current definitions of those terms. The second one consists in a consequential ‘dec…
The transculturing self II. Constructing identity through identification1
In this article, I try to further develop my notion of the ‘transculturing self.’ Firstly, I discuss Nietzsche's positions on ‘self’ and ‘subject,’ arguing for the idea that ‘there is no self.’ Hence, I try to show that ‘identity’ is the outcome of a (co-)construction originating in the circumstance that each individual needs to meet external requests for (self-)identification, and therefore it is unable to take into account the process of indivi…
The Transculturing Self
The 'Self' is a core notion in Western philosophy, which mainly defined it as an 'autarchic individual', dependent on no 'Other' whatsoever. Such a prevailing definition fails to recognise that just the 'Other' is needed to properly define the 'Self'. As a result, Western mainstream philosophy still seems to lack useful theoretical tools to approach that notion in an intercultural environment. In this paper, I argue for the possibility of a trans…
