Abstract

Over the decades intercultural encounters have been introduced in research and education, inclusive of communication between different communities. Dervin et al. have problematized the dominant discourse on interculturality between East and West and the need for diverse languages to be introduced in the dialogue. This chapter explores some ways in which interculturality can provide means towards sustainable societies. In the future, intercultural dialogue should not be based on the humanistic assumptions of a solitary human self, separate and autonomous from the rest of the planetary system. This chapter discusses opportunities to shift the language around interculturality incorporating interdisciplinary and planetary lenses by using the metaphor of the contact zone between interculturality and sustainability.
