Des cultures à l’interculturation

Overview & Synopsis

Cultures bind us as much as they divide us. This book analyzes the crisis of the concept of culture in a globalized society, marked by the polarization of discourses and the fragmentation of the digital public space. Beyond the essentialist and identity-based representations of cultural differences, Alexander Frame invites us to adopt a more nuanced point of view. It draws on different schools of thought, such as semiotics, symbolic interactionism and cultural studies, applied to the fields of media, heritage and social organizations. The book thus traces the path of a thought of interculturation, this process of circulation of cultural traits in society, to redefine in communication the conditions of a common space.
