Talking (across) cultures: Grace and danger in the House of the European inquirer

McHoul, A. (2000) Talking (across) cultures: Grace and danger in the House of the European inquirer. M/C Journal: A Journal of Media and Culture, 3 (2).

Abstract

In this paper, I want to begin to contemplate the possibility that the concept of culture could one day be thought outside modern Western thought, via a reading of Martin Heidegger's 'Dialogue on Language between a Japanese and an Inquirer'. As we shall see, for Heidegger, the dominant position here is representationalism. And so a large part of what I want to do here is to begin to shake the concept of culture from these dominant representationalist moorings.
