プログラム内容/PROGRAM DESCRIPTION：
近代の歴史や文化変容の中にみられるプライド、誇り、尊厳、屈辱、謙遜の概念について述べ、現在の世界情勢におけるグローバリゼーションと人権の２つの力が、屈辱という現象を浮き彫りにしていることを明らかにする。屈辱によってもたらされる悪影響を避けるために、私たちが文化によるアイデンティティの構築やglobal inter-human communicationとどう取り組めばいいのかを考えていきたい。

Under certain circumstances, our understanding of culture can have humiliating effects. The notion of culture can be used in either a neutral, descriptive way, or prescriptively, such as, "Are you really part of our culture?"? While the descriptive use of the concept of culture may be rather benign, applying it in a prescriptive way may have malign effects. Dr. Lindner believes that the field of intercultural communication has a responsibility to discuss these malign effects in order to avoid inadvertently heightening them. This is because intercultural communication that respects cultural difference blindly can do great harm.

Lindner will explain how she started her research on the concept of humiliation and its role in genocide, war, and violent conflict. Her initial research (1997-2001) took her to Rwanda and Somalia, where genocidal killings had taken place in 1994 and 1981.

She will explain her theory of humiliation and how the notions of pride, honor, dignity, humiliation, and humility are inscribed into current historic and cultural normative transitions. She believes that at the present historic juncture two new forces bring humiliation to the fore in unprecedented intensity. Globalization (or the coming-together of humankind) is the first force, which, in concert with the human rights revolution, the second force, increases the significance of the phenomenon of humiliation. She concludes with a discussion of how we may best approach identity building within the world's cultures and the two changing forces of globalization and human rights. She believes that we have to strongly inscribe global inter-human communication into international relations and intercultural communication in order to avoid possible destructive effects from humiliation.
