Truth Claims

Global travelers today search for ultimate meaning, and many seek transformation through journeys into interreligious exchange. They share these goals with mystics of old. By immersing themselves in the scholarship of mysticism, religion, and travel before they go, today’s pilgrims can prepare for genuine, life-transforming encounters. Attention to debates about essentialism and constructivism, plural truth claims within and among traditions, and notions of the fluid self prepare them. Traveling mindfully with theory allows them to recognize what analytical baggage they carry while opening them to new experiences. Thoughtful processing upon return can avoid the dangers of shallow interreligious interpretations even while encouraging intercultural exchange. In essence, they reveal the mystic heart of travel.

Production Output

This paper discusses an example of global media production in an educational context that is also a model for online intercultural exchange. We investigate the proces s of an international, research led film production project between two universities, RMIT University, Australia and the State University of New York, Oswego campus, USA (SUNY Oswego). The aim of this paper is to investigate how teams which are geographically, academically and culturally diverse may engage in a process of research led learning. We discuss important issues in the emerging field of online collaboration as they relate to practice and pedagogy in both higher education and industry. We offer so me basic guidelines for methods and practice in global online collaboration. We conclude that hybrid techniques which blend virtual and “real” or face to face classroom techniques may be most useful to produce exciting screen research and production output s.

Young Writer

In spite of being viewed as a young writer until the ’90s, Stanley Péan is now known as one of the most distinctive and established voices in the Haitian-Canadian literary scene. The pivotal moment in his career happened in 1996, when Zombi Blues was published. This novel displays a cultural space in which Haitian traditions and Canadian modernity converge and allow intercultural exchange to take place. Drawing from this perspective, the following article aims to analyse how Péan creates a fictional universe through the blending of cultural elements. Using the collection of myths and beliefs that permeate the Haitian and African cultural panorama as a reference point, we will investigate the ways in which Péan adapted and transposed these traditions to the Haitian diasporic context. Particular attention will be given to the use of jazz and African American music, as well as to the reinterpretation of mythological creatures such as the zombie and the marasa twins. Hence, the article tries to show how Péan’s cultural crossroad contributes to the foundation of a new literary interpretation of Haitianity.
