Re-Reading Nasreddin Hodja as anOpportunity for “Intercultural Contact”

Abstract

This study proposes the concept of “intercultural contact” with reference to the discussion regarding the “predominant way of comprehending cultural diversities” in the social sciences. This new concept that is introduced in this paper through a case study, refers to the obsession of scientism based on objectivity that is a product of Eurocentric universalism, and it comprises an opportunity for understanding cultures in their own particularities. This aforementioned case consists of two texts, published consecutively: An article on Nasreddin Hodja by Kathleen R.F. Burril, and a critical note on this article by Çiğdem Erkal İpek, the translator of the article. These texts were published in the special issue of Gül Diken, a journal of humor culture. Re-reading these two texts, this study aims to question the predominant way of thinking in social sciences and argues for an approach that grasps cultural diversities in an age of globalization
