Abstract

Societies and communities are destined and determined to change when they are open to crossing cultures. The phenomenon acknowledges diverse cultural adaptations, leading to new global goals for global interaction. Similarly, several studies demonstrate the existence of contact and engagement among diverse communities across Europe, fostering intercultural dialogue. As a result, the study seeks to investigate those spaces, specifically religious centres in Europe, that may serve as potential places of contact for diverse communities using the theories of ‘contact zones’, ‘hybrid identity’, particularly ‘organic hybridity’, ‘interfaith and interreligious encounters’ and ‘interculturalism’. The empirical study examines the intercultural interactions and exchanges occurring in the Jewish and Buddhist religious centres in Groningen to recognise how public spaces, particularly religious centres demonstrate the emergence of interculturality in Europe. Through interviews with officials, the study investigates cultural contacts and exchanges among disparate communities in the Buddhist and Jewish religious spaces of Groningen, The Netherlands. These interviews are further analysed using Arthur W Frank’s ‘Dialogical Narrative Analysis’ approach. Therefore, the paper examines the emergence of interculturality through experiences of contact among diverse European cultural or religious communities, using the framework of contact zones, hybrid identity, interfaith and interreligious studies, and interculturalism.

探索接触空间:欧洲格罗宁根犹太和佛教宗教中心的跨文化接触
当社会和社区对跨文化开放时,它们就注定要改变。这一现象承认了不同的文化适应,为全球互动带来了新的全球目标。同样,一些研究表明,欧洲各地不同社区之间存在接触和参与,促进了文化间的对话。因此,本研究试图利用“接触区”、“混合身份”(特别是“有机杂交”)、“不同信仰和宗教间的相遇”和“不同文化主义”等理论来调查这些空间,特别是欧洲的宗教中心,这些空间可能成为不同社区的潜在接触场所。实证研究考察了发生在格罗宁根犹太和佛教宗教中心的跨文化互动和交流,以认识公共空间,特别是宗教中心如何展示欧洲跨文化的出现。通过对官员的采访,该研究调查了荷兰格罗宁根佛教和犹太宗教空间中不同社区之间的文化接触和交流。这些访谈使用亚瑟·W·弗兰克的“对话叙事分析”方法进行进一步分析。因此,本文利用接触区、混合身份、信仰和宗教间研究以及文化间主义的框架,通过不同欧洲文化或宗教社区之间的接触经验来考察跨文化性的出现。
