The quote from the title of my talk is by the Russian artist Natalia Goncharova. It describes well what I have been engaging with over the past 5 years: interculturality-identity is not exclusive to \u2018Western\u2019 scholarship and education, it has been \u2018practised\u2019 elsewhere since the beginning of times, what could I thus learn \u2018with\u2019 other parts of the world? Having \u2018navigated\u2019 constantly between China and Finland for 5 years, and worked with many colleagues from mainland China, I have had multiple opportunities to try to understand how such an intercultural country as China has \u2018done\u2019 interculturality in the past and today. I will share with the audience what these 5 years of engagement with \u2018China\u2019 have brought me in terms of unthinking and rethinking interculturality-identity. The following principles and aspects of my current work on interculturality-identity will be discussed: 1. The need for genuine generosity; 2. The language of interculturality is both translation and critical reflexivity; 2. Chinese interculturality from within as a mirror for interculturality (what can we learn from other epistemologies, Knowledges and perceptions of the world?); 3. The need for real depaysement (the feeling of not being at home) in the way we reflect again and again on interculturality; 4. \u5916\u56fd\u6708\u4eae\u4e0d\u6bd4\u4e2d\u56fd\u6708\u4eae\u66f4\u5706 (\u201cthe foreign moon is not rounder than the Chinese moon\u201d).<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fred Dervin,\u00a0University of Helsinki, Finland Presentation Keywords intercultural identity, China Abstract Interculturality-identity is facing many challenges as a multifaceted reality, practice, ideology, discourse and policy.
