>APRESENTAÃ!Ã’O / BOOK SUMMARY:
>
> From Here to Diversity: Globalization and Intercultural Dialogues
>sees interculturalism as movement, transit, travel, the dynamics
>between cultures. Contemporary intercultural travel is a global
>journey, a circumnavigation at the speed of light that underwrites all
>  the comings and goings, the departures and arrivals, the
>transmissions  and receptions that are implicit in this title. Hence,
> From Here to  Diversity examines the motivations, characteristics and
>implications  of cultural interactions in their perpetual movement,
>devoid of  spatial or temporal borders, in a dangerous but stimulating
>  indefinition of limits.
>
>In the contemporary intercultural dialogue, new voices are making
>themselves heard, as valuable sources of study: the voices of women;
>non-occidentals; the non-powerful; forgotten narratives of a past that
>  was as intercultural as the present (after all, what is colonialism
>other than a perverse form of interculturality?); global
>entertainment; tourism; oral literature; diaries; mythical narratives;
>  the cinema; ethnography; new teachings, among so many others.
>
>Because this project is also intercultural at its source and subject,
> From Here to Diversity: Globalization and Intercultural Dialogues
>adds to the coherence of the project by including contributions from
>the most wide-ranging backgrounds and nationalities, without fear of
>the alterity that, after all, we propose to study.
