Współczesne paradygmaty dialogu międzykulturowego
Contemporary paradigms of intercultural dialogue

Summary/Abstract: Contemporary space of communication and dialogue increasingly connects local and global dimensions of cultural interactions, creating a new transterritorial exchange not only of information but also of values, attitudes and patterns of social relations. They occur both in real world but more and more in virtual and hybrid reality, which combines them into synergetic connections, flows, but also qualitatively new forms of reality. The ease with which virtual space overlaps with the content of different cultures forces us to ask questions about the nature of contemporary cultural relationships, which are as easily and quickly moving into the virtual and hybrid world by setting new conditions, but also the course and the process of intercultural dialogue. Expanding the contemporary discourse space opens up new opportunities, but also threats we are not yet aware of. Humanities need to develop new insights into the ever-changing and complex nature of dialogue that changes the role of “place”,“time”, interpersonal relationships, social bonds, sense of closeness, dimensions of the cultural community and its fundamental values. In order to understand the dynamics of these changes and the new challenges of intercultural dialogue, the social sciences and the humanities must work out the corresponding paradigms of perceiving, defining, and analyzing its fundamental categories.
