Narratives of "Interculturality": Meeting Again Differently

Modern Europe witnessed a historical simultaneity as  the result of which , not only Europe ruptured from its  own past, rather a forced  attachment to the non- European's future was also forged. This  historical "development" has been narrated in the "colonial discourse". On the other hand, for the non–Europeans, however, a different historical simultaneity took place.  Hence; the colonized/non -Europeans found themselves forcefully ruptured not only from their own selfhood, but also thrown in an imposed 'state of nature' dispossessed of their identity. This historical experience has been narrated in the "post-colonial discourse". The current paper is an attempt to host a 'meeting' between the colonial and the post-colonial discourses.
