competence </i>is both polysemic and empty at the same time. Researchers,
practitioners but also decision makers use it almost mechanically without always
worrying about its meaning(s), the ideologies it represents, the impact(s) it
has on those who are embedded in its discussions and the injustice it can (too
easily) lead to such as neo-racism. A few ‘usual suspects’ – mostly derived from
English-speaking researchers/practitioners who enjoy prestige thanks to the
symbolic violence of English as a World Language and/or prestigious
supranational support – whose work is systematically (and uncritically)
mentioned have often managed <i>volens nolens</i> to keep mainstream global
understandings of intercultural competence simplified, fuzzy, idealistic and/or
unrealistic. For example the ‘faulty’ keywords of <i>culture</i>,
<i>tolerance</i> and <i>respect</i> are still present in discussions of
intercultural competence. </font></span></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt; LINE-HEIGHT: normal" align="justify"><span lang="EN-GB" style="FONT-FAMILY: ; COLOR: ; mso-ansi-language: en-gb; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: en-my; mso-bidi-font-style: italic"><font face="Times New Roman"></font></span> </p><div style="margin-top: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0cm; line-height: normal; "><span lang="EN-GB" style="FONT-FAMILY: ; COLOR: ; mso-ansi-language: en-gb; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: en-my; mso-bidi-font-style: italic"><font face="Times New Roman">This call for papers is interested in new, critical and

questioning the most ‘influential’ models of intercultural competence and/or who

intercultural competence. The organisers wish to promote the idea that failure
is also inherent to intercultural competence. The question of assessment can be
touched upon but the idea that intercultural competence can be summatively
assessed should be abandoned. The organisers consider intercultural competence
to be synonymous with <i>multicultural competence, cross-cultural competence,
global competence</i>, etc. as these labels are also unstable and have many
different meanings.</font></span></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt; LINE-HEIGHT: normal" align="justify"><span lang="EN-GB" style="FONT-FAMILY: ; COLOR: ; mso-ansi-language: en-gb; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: en-my; mso-bidi-font-style: italic"><font face="Times New Roman"></font></span> </p><div style="margin-top: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0cm; line-height: normal; "><span lang="EN-GB" style="FONT-FAMILY: ; COLOR: ; mso-ansi-language: en-gb; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: en-my; mso-bidi-font-style: italic"><font face="Times New Roman">The organisers are especially interested in fresh
