Abstract

MENEZES, Magali Mendes de  and  DORNELES, Leonardo Castro. Intercultural ethics: From knowing to re-knowing the Other. Educação. UNISINOS [online]. 2017, vol.21, n.3, pp.366-373. ISSN 2177-6210.  https://doi.org/10.4013/edu.2017.213.10.

This study initially seeks to think about the violence of the constitution of the other that is present in the concept called Orientalism, a theory analyzed by Edward W. Said in his book Orientalism: western conceptions of the Orient. After that, it brings some thoughts that come from the field of Intercultural Ethics, created by the Chilean writer Ricardo Salas, as a way to confirm and, at the same time, show the contradictions of two aspects of Orientalism: the absence of intercultural dialogue and ethical conjectures; and the evidence of a morale that masked the conscious intention of turning natives into commodities and reifying their condition. The idea of intercultural ethics carries fundamental elements for the thinking of a proposal for intercultural education, which should be weaved by the comprehension of recognition.

Keywords : Orientalism; Intercultural Ethics; Education.
