Intercultural Mobilities
Crossing Borders – Connecting Knowledge
Human mobility fosters the exchange of ideas, values, and goods, connecting manifold world views across time and space. How do new technologies impact our sense of connectedness and perception of the world as a global village? What global consequences does mobility cause, such as itinerant viruses inducing pandemics or the gradual loss of certain local goods, species, beliefs, and practices? How can we analyse and depict the flow of ideas, traditions, artifacts, images, sounds, and texts to showcase the Arab world’s and Germany’s entangled past, present, and future trajectories?
