Module 1:5 – INTERculture

INTERculture is a journal published from 1968 to 2011 by the Intercultural Institute of Montreal (IIM). I was led to it by the Wikipedia entry of Frederique Apffel-Marglin, who herself is mentioned in our class reading “Coyote and Raven Put the Digital in Technology.” Apffel-Marglin, an anthropologist, was one of the editors of the journal.

The journal defines intercultural as a way of “approaching reality and human living in light of the diverse cultural traditions of today, and not solely in the terms of modern culture.” Articles cover intercultural issues in many aspects of societies, economies and environments.

Many of the articles are available as fulltext PDFs  on the INTERculture site (hosted by the IIM). Specifically, there is a list of eighteen articles about Interculturalism and Native Peoples, including titles such as “The Shaman and the Ecologist” and “Dissolving Inuit Society through Education and Money.”
