Abstract

This commentary describes the impact of intercultural narrations and autoethnographic experiences regarding intercultural identity development within the context of building the base for successful intercultural encounters based on a loving view of the person. It refers to the importance to see individuals as a whole, entire arts project, based on intersectionalities. Each individual and each individual’s life is seen as a construct of stories, narrations and experiences of intersectionalities and thereby as a work of arts. This chapter needs to be read not as a scientific account, but rather as a commentary, as a pleading, a final speech for intercultural identity development through narrative constructions in the frame of love.
