INTERCULTURAL COMMUNICATION

  • "Constructing, or imagining, a demonized image of ‘them’, or the Other, which supports an idealized image of ‘us’, or the Self." (Holliday, 2011)

- “You people like to keep everything in the family”

- "These people are different, they are not French"

- "Indian can’t become French and French can’t become Indian"

  • “Cultural reality can form around and be carried with individuals as they move from one cultural arena to another." (Piller, 2011)
  • "Individuals tend to ‘narrate themselves’ in different (personal, social, societal, international) contexts and with different interlocutors" (Dervin, 2006)
  • “The key-terms of culture and identity often emerge when people talk about or are involved in intercultural communication" (Dervin)

  • Referring to someone's nationality is a very common way of stereotyping and it is "part of the baggage we bring to intercultural encounters” (Piller, 2011)

  • Nation is generally discribed as an external frame which is "an undeniably powerful source of identity, security and belonging”, but can also be "in conflict with personal cultural identities." (Holliday, 2011)

"tHE HUNDRED-FOOT JOURNEY"

  • Director Lasse Hallström
  • Adapted from the novel "The Hundred-Foot Journey" by Richard C. Morais
  • “It is a story about how the hundred-foot distance between a new Indian restaurant and a traditional French one represents the gulf between different cultures and desires.”

  • “Eating is a daily reaffirmation of cultural identity
  • "Culturally based food habits are often one of the last practices people change through acculturation.“
  • (Kittler and Sucher, 2008)
  • “The possibility that food, which is something that all of us share, albeit indifferent ways, can be used to bring people together instead of differentiating between us”.

  • "Food is a social process rather than a commodity and thus is central to multicultural understanding.”
