what's new in intercultural communication
intersecting categories
culture
gender
religion
class
national belonging
those are only performed, but not naturally given
what is deconstruction
what is essentialism
presuming a universalist natural essence, homogenization, reduction, exclusion.
why: we don't want to essentialize people
we know people change constantly, there are no natural differences
behavior is based on their context, not genes
essentialism thus is a violent way of communication that we try to avoid
what is a non-essentialist view on culture?
