Organised cultural encounters is an umbrella concept referring to face-to-face encounters that are organised across a wide variety of social arenas in order to manage and\/or transform problems perceived to stem from cultural difference. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe authors base their focus on empirical contexts either located in Denmark or related to a Danish organisation, investigating interfaith work, training sessions in diversity management, volunteer tourism, a youth diversity project called the Cultural Encounters Ambassadors, and a community dance project. Through different theoretical approaches, and careful analyses of the micro-level practices occurring within the time-space of specific encounters, Galal and Hvenegård-Lassen demonstrate how both the interactions and their outcomes are considerably more complex - and contradictory - than evaluative and instrumental accounts of success or failure may capture. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book will provide a valuable resource for practitioners and scholars of intercultural relations working in the fields of cultural geography, anthropology, cultural studies, and migration studies. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45275819802775,"sku":"9783030428853","price":9548.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783030428853.webp?v=1769283987","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/organised-cultural-encounters-practices-of-transformation-9783030428853","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
