%0 Journal Article %T La pedagogie interculturelle: entre multiculturalisme et universalisme %A Martine A. Pretceille %J Linguarum Arena : Revista do Programa Doutoral em Did¨¢ctica de L¨ªnguas da Universidade do Porto %D 2011 %I Universidade do Porto %X The author intends to show that intercultural education is characterized by two conflicting approaches - an exacerbation of differences, and a universalism that, unfortunately, tends to be confused with the ethical principle of universality. Indeed, the treatment of cultural heterogeneity implies lean analysis and action from a moral and pragmatic philosophical viewpoint, that understands the practices, discourses and behaviours as rooted not in culturally distinct, homogeneous and hermetic categories, but rather as part of a process of miscegenation and ¡°creolization¡±. Learning to observe, listen, and be attentive to others is the way in which we experience otherness, while avoiding what one may call the ¡°learning of a culture¡±. This experience has to be acquired and developed. Thus, taking into account culture does not mean the mere introduction of an additional variable, but mainly aims to build up a humanism of the otherness. %K diversity %K identity %K alterity %K interculturalism %U http://ler.letras.up.pt/uploads/ficheiros/9835.pdf
