<p class="hyphenate"><span lang="EN-US">How can research discover something genuinely new? Many approaches in the theory of science and many disciplines reject this question as naive, deny its possibility, or evade it. Research in intercultural communication
was once concerned with predicting human behavior on the global stage. Still, in recent decades, it has increasingly focused on exploring interculturality as incorporating the other, the foreign, and the new. Epistemological concerns have been at the root
of several challenges in this project, such as the crisis of representation and the reflections on ‘writing culture’ in cultural anthropology. However, this search for the new has been given further impetus by the growing reception of post-structural thinking
in intercultural communication research. In particular, movements such as the ontological turn, new materialism, and post-humanism argue for a fundamental rethinking of the epistemological and ontological assumptions of the social sciences. Accordingly, the
search for the new will require that it not be conceived in its difference from the self. Researchers must shift their perspective away from the traditional humanistic and anthropocentric worldview. Finally, they should no longer use existing research methods
to structure what they find. This lecture will present and discuss different approaches from the field of intercultural communication research that put these claims into practice. It will show the emergence of a search for what might be called a post-humanist
interculturality. The lecture concludes by critically examining the limitations of such an approach.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

into dealing with interculturality (</span><a href="https://doi.org/g625" target="_blank"><span lang="EN-US">full article</span></a><span lang="EN-US">) and how notions of culture are used in conflict mediation research to create different understandings of
