Abstract

The words multicultural and intercultural are not universal signifiers, as Guilherme and Dietz recently stated in this Journal (2015 Vol.10/1). This article therefore attempts to be culturally conscious scholarship, and draws a picture of the connotations of these expressions in the recent academic and public/political and discourse in Germany in the mirror of the recent intercultural program developments in German academia. Without attempting to provide a concise analysis of the multi-faceted scholarship and policy papers, the article focuses on the interconnectedness and the discrepancy between the political and the academic discourse. The paper points toward a possible integration of these two areas by suggesting a pedagogical approach that explains intercultural through the arts.
