BCM106: Identities and Intercultural Practices
This unit provides a documented background for understanding the relationship between identity, culture, the economy and communication; and the importance of this relationship in personal, academic and professional contexts. It explores culture and identity as socially constructed and dynamic, and examines these concepts in relation to learning and engaging across a range of contexts. The unit extends students' interpersonal and intercultural communication skills. Some of the conceptual and historic frames explored in BCM103 Indigenous History and Contemporary Cultural Experience are deepened by critically engaging theories of identity, cultural identity construction and interculturality, focusing on post-modern and post-colonial contextual understandings, and interrogating the dimensions and dynamisms of intercultural practices and the making of communities. Foregrounded is the importance of ongoing awareness and understanding of relationships between identity, culture and intercultural practices, and critical perspectives and ideas of contemporary community, and models of Indigenous community as exemplars of intercultural practice.
