In /Diálogos Interculturais: //Os Novos Rumos da Viagem// 
/[/Intercultural Dialogues//: New Directions for the Journey/], 
interculturalism is synonymous with mobility, traffic, the dynamics 
between cultures. This perpetual motion underlyes the departures and 
returns of the /Journey/, the transmission and reception of the 
/Dialogues/, without spatial or temporal boundaries, in a dangerous and 
stimulant blurring of boundaries.


Contemporary interculturalism (re)builds new identities, surfs on the 
internet and travels to destinations which are no longer exotic, as they 
become more and more accessible. Interculturality is commodified, 
becomes part of the day-to-day experience, takes new directions. New 
voices are heard in the intercultural dialogue, as sources of study 
until recently marginal: the voices of women; of forgotten stories from 
a past that was as intercultural as the present (what is colonialism but 
a perverse interculturality?); of global media; of oral narratives; of 
fiction, diaries, and epistolography; of art; of new pedagogies and 
technologies. But this polyphony of cultures is also likely to create 
new conflicts, which pass from the extraordinary to the everyday common 
practice.


/Diálogos Interculturais: //Os Novos Rumos da Viagem// /[/Intercultural 
Dialogues//: New Directions for the Journey/] brings together authors 
from several nationalities and backgrounds, across subjects 
traditionally opposed. Rather unusually, this book travels across the 
fields of knowledge of Literature, Law, Communication, Sociology, 
Teaching and Tourism, among many others, because all these areas provide 
texts which can serve as roadmaps for the journey proposed here. This 
project proves the dynamics of an international team of researchers, who 
are not afraid to depart for destinations unknown, aspiring to create 
new maps to guide us all.
