Travel as intercultural dialogue? A qualitative investigation (FSL) (Seminar)

Dozent/in: Michael Dellwing, Paul Lauer

Inhalt: Travelling, we assume, broadens the mind. It means learning about other cultures. But does it? In this seminar we will investigate when and how travelling can facilitate a meaningful dialogue between cultures. We will be taking a qualitative approach that begins by exploring our own and others' stories of travel before moving on to consider reflections by travel writers (and influencers), the voices of those we visit, and finally the practices of those offering "cultural tours". Theory from such topics as everyday life sociology, multiculturality, reflexivity, and the "tourist gaze" will underpin your gathering and interpreting of empirical material as, in very small groups of three, you develop your own concept of culturally meaningful travel and realize your concept in practice.
