“…Leaving that aside, and to speak in more general terms, in the English-speaking body of literature on interculturality three major strands can be discerned. The first can be characterized as containing normative approaches that assert the value of interculturality for business communication (Bargiela-Chiappini & Nickerson, 2003;Cheney, 2001); the construction of national and regional identities (Brewer, 1999;Petkova, 2006); inter-religious dialogues (Jackson, 2004;Shaked, 1995); language learning (Bryman & Fleming, 1998) and foreign aid (Bauer et. al., 2006).…”

“…Likewise, the body of research on intercultural dialogue encompasses an array of genres although not directly related to either Europe or the EU. A few of the numerous themes include personal reflections (Finno, 2007); the role of education in developing an intercultural dialogue at various school levels (Fischmann, 2005; Martins, 2008) and as a source of national or regional identification (Petkova, 2006). Here, however, the task is to scrutinize the politics of cultural identity as an element of intercultural dialogue, which is also important in relation to, in line with the objectives of the Union, equal identificational possibilities for all citizens and the values that the educational systems are set to transfer.…”

The present essay focuses on problematizing the European Union's claim that intercultural dialogue constitutes an advocated method of talking through cultural boundaries—inside as well as outside the classroom—based on mutual empathy and non‐domination. More precisely, the aim is to analyze who is being constructed as counterparts of the intercultural dialogue through the discourse produced by the EU in policies on education, culture and intercultural dialogue. Within the Union, Europeans are portrayed as having an a priori historical existence, while the ones excluded from this notion are evoked to demonstrate its difference in comparison to the European one. The results show that subjects not considered as Europeans serve as markers of the multicultural present of the space. Thus, intercultural dialogue seems to consolidate differences between European and Other—the ‘We’ and ‘Them’ in the dialogue—rather than, as in line with its purpose, bringing subjects together.

In Eastern Europe there is a variety of languages and language groups, as well as two alphabets: the Latin and the Cyrillic scripts. Eastern Europe is composed of many different ethnic and religious communities too. In this way it is impossible to define a common Eastern European cultural model. In terms of geography, culture, and communication modes, at least three basic cultural communities can be outlined: northeastern European, Central European, and southeastern European. However, despite the big differences between the countries, there are some common discourses due to the fact that all the Eastern European nations are postcommunist societies. The first discourse is focused on the social and cultural trauma experienced in the period of socialism and often triggers hate speech. The second is based on nostalgia about the “good things” in the era of communism. And the third discourse is underlined by the constant questioning of “who we are.”
