Panel discussion 3: Questioning Relational Paradigms of Exchange
The panel draws attention to inter-regional cultural flows and practices in International Cultural Relations, questioning how they influence each other and create a context for cooperation, integration and exchange. In particular, the panel addresses issues such as the roles of festivals as a platform for cultural exchange (Nigeria and Germany), a reflection on the theoretical concept of migration, and an analysis of the ‘Hakuna Matata’ case between Disney and the Swahili people.
This panel provides a platform for the exchange of examples and reflections on how non-Western practices are indispensable and integral part of an effective international cultural relations dynamic.
