Cultures Identities and Encounters
|
|
|
The dynamics of global politics and economics and the increase in cross-cultural interaction have had a profound impact on national and local cultures--elite and popular, secular and religious. These processes of global cultural change have at once brought opportunities for cultural enrichment but also provoked intense resistance and strife. It is obviously critical to understand how cultural interaction and transfer have affected local cultures identities; and, conversely, how specific ethnic, national, and religious groups have responded to these cultural challenges. Under what conditions have these "encounters with the other" tended to generate internationalism or nationalism, religious tolerance or religious strife, acculturation or xenophobia, racism or interracial harmony? How and why have particular cultures and regions, religions and races, classes and genders proven more receptive, or more resistant, to the new cultural challenges from without? How do cultural leaders (whether secular or religious) perceive and represent transcultural processes--their meaning, challenges, and opportunities? In what ways has cultural interaction been positive and in what ways negative?
