Resumo(s)
A diplomacia cultural enquanto disciplina académica abrange uma área de estudo ampla e orienta-se para a pesquisa de questões relacionadas com diversidade, interculturalidade e identidade política e a forma como estas se intersetam. Interroga a utilização ou evocação das artes e da cultura em geral enquanto expressão de unidade social, cultural ou política. Partindo desta perspetiva, através dos atributos culturais e artísticos produzidos, são construídas narrativas que levam, implicitamente, a um maior conhecimento sobre grupos particulares e, nesse sentido, podem ampliar o entendimento entre unidades socioculturais distintas.
Enquanto prática, a diplomacia cultural materializa-se num leque de manifestações públicas da cultura, produzidas por atores com estatuto diverso. Entre estes, encontram-se organizações criadas por comunidades socioculturais locais, instituições que visam promover visões particulares de cultura à escala internacional ou atores individuais, que se movem em esferas transnacionais, revelando como a experiência migratória faz parte da construção de tais narrativas.
É no sentido de acolher formas de representação pública de diferentes comunidades culturais e políticas que surge o Institute for Cultural Diplomacy. Considerando que uma maior compreensão e aproximação intra e intercultural são necessárias num mundo progressivamente interdependente, este pretende promover a paz, a estabilidade e a justiça globais.
Este relatório visa refletir sobre o estágio curricular realizado no Institute for Cultural Diplomacy. Procura-se compreender, numa perspetiva holística, o papel da organização na criação de espaços e canais para a interculturalidade, na construção de narrativas com ou sobre o “Outro”, bem como refletir sobre as limitações de tal projeto
Cultural diplomacy as an academic discipline comprehends a broad field of study oriented to the investigation of issues related to diversity, interculturalism and political identity as well as how these concepts intersect. It questions the usage or evocation of the arts and culture as reliable portraits of social, cultural or political units. From this perspective, when producing these cultural and artistic features, narratives are constructed, implicitly leading to a deepening of knowledge of particular groups, opening up the possibility for understanding between distinct sociocultural entities. As a practice, cultural diplomacy is materialized in a range of public manifestations of culture, produced by actors from diverse localities. Amongst these, one can find organisations created by local sociocultural communities, institutions whose aim is to promote particular visions of culture at an international level and individual actors. These agents circulate in transnational public spheres, revealing how the migration experience influences the production of such narratives. The Institute for Cultural Diplomacy was created with the view of being a platform for such public representations of cultural and political identities. Whilst considering that intra and intercultural comprehension is necessary in a progressively interdependent world, the ICD intends to endorse peace, stability and justice globally. This report proposes to reflect on the curricular internship completed at the Institute for Cultural Diplomacy. It will analyse, in an holistic perspective, the role the organisation undertakes in the creation of spaces and channels for fostering interculturalism, in constructing narratives with or about the “Other”, as well as a reflecting on the limitations of the project.
