ABSTRACT

By revolving around the idea of intuitions, this chapter contains both meditation-like and forward-looking fragments concerning interculturality. The proposed intuitions focus on hypotheses and proposals to encourage future engagement alone and together with other researchers and educators around the notion. The fragments from the chapter urge the reader to ‘sharpen’ their thinking about it endlessly. The beginning of the chapter helps reflect further on the multiple meanings, characteristics and uncertainties of interculturality. The authors then focus on the importance of languaging around the notion again and again to support moving to and fro, taking into account diverse and multilingual viewpoints. Lateral thinking is proposed as a way of thinking ‘beyond the box’, focusing on the contradictions and conflicting realities of interculturality as experiences and co-constructed together. More personal perspectives on interculturality conclude the chapter, reminding us that scholars and educators cannot ‘separate’ from their very object of study.
