Abstract

V originále

Transculturality (W. Welsch) is general cultural feature which escorts human civilizations for whole their history. However, quiet often it had remained not recognized by its adapters, who successfully took possession of elements from different cultures. Nowadays, relatively easy access to traveling, education, information, manly thanks to Internet, which transports us within virtual reality everywhere we wish, make us more aware of ‘otherness’ of others and our own ‘ourselfness’ at the same time. Paradoxically, in the age of great tolerance and human rights developed to the level which have been never achieved before, outlining borders and building invisible (and visible) walls is very alive. The case study example is based on Polish minority in Brno.
