Abstract:
Engagement with the “foreign,” the “other,” and the “different” constitutes a major concern in Comparative Literature. The term interculturality refers to the interaction and interfaces between different cultures. It encompasses not only the phenomenon of multiculturality, but also the dimensions of cross-culturality and transculturality. This chapter will delve into these concepts, as well as the related theoretical framework of stereotypology or intercultural hermeneutics, and will explore various approaches to the notion of the "foreign" through examples of contrastive readings between the familiar and the unfamiliar, identity and otherness. Finally, the chapter will focus on issues of national and/or cultural differences, mentality, hybridity/hybridization, and stereotypes, through the analysis of selected works from world literature—for example, examining questions of mentality in the works of Greek and German authors.
