Meeting the cultural other. A phenomenology of intercultural encounters

Summary/Abstract: This paper proposes an investigation of intercultural encounters as a phenomenology of faces, surfaces and appearances. The moment of encounter with the cultural other can be considered as an “open” moment, as one in which one transgresses own ways of representing the other as well as of self. This open instance is the space, the interval, in which the play of the intercultural encounter takes place, in which something that belongs not only to me and not only to the other is initiated, it is in-between us.
