Intercultural Errors Versus Transcultural Solutions

Document from the year 2011 in the subject Pedagogy - Intercultural Pedagogy, , course: Interkulturelles Management, language: English, abstract: The ethnocentric, the cultural/intercultural and the transcultural mindsets respectively create a cultural wave that spreads across and impacts the sea of time and space and thereby those who share that time-space continuum. The ethnocentric perception is not aware of this interconnectedness, while the cultural or intercultural mindset can have variable degrees of awareness of it but cannot transcend the divisionary logic of this perceiver's creative logic. Only the transculturalist is fully aware of the interconnected field, where the perceiver's consciousness co-creates the cultural world. Due to his awareness of a culture integrative transcultural dimension of his constitution he can transcend the interculturalists fragmentation of the world by an integrative momentum based on a solid multidimensional scientific axiomatic.
