Ce site classé au patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO est considéré comme de « valeur universelle exceptionnelle ». En philosophie, le mot culture désigne ce qui est différent de la nature. En sociologie, comme en éthologie, la culture est définie de façon plus étroite comme « ce qui est commun à un groupe d'individus » et comme « ce qui le soude », c'est-à-dire ce qui est appris, transmis, produit et inventé.
Intercultural relations
Intercultural relations, sometimes called intercultural studies, is a relatively new formal field of social science studies. It is a practical, multi-field discipline designed to train its students to understand, communicate, and accomplish specific goals outside their own cultures. Intercultural relations involves, at a fundamental level, learning how to see oneself and the world through the eyes of another. It seeks to prepare students for interaction with cultures both similar to their own (e.g.
Choc culturel

Mais plus tard, les gens commenceront à s'adapter (3) (la ligne pointillée montre que certaines personnes détesteront la nouvelle culture).

La communication interculturelle est l’étude de la communication interpersonnelle entre individus de cultures différentes. Celle-ci est plus précisément . Cette discipline, au confluent de plusieurs champs d'étude tels que la linguistique ou l’anthropologie, est née après la deuxième guerre mondiale aux États-Unis.
Cultural identity
Cultural identity is a part of a person's identity, or their self-conception and self-perception, and is related to nationality, ethnicity, religion, social class, generation, locality or any kind of social group that has its own distinct culture. In this way, cultural identity is both characteristic of the individual but also of the culturally identical group of members sharing the same cultural identity or upbringing. Cultural identity is a fluid process that is changed by different social, cultural, and historical experiences.
Cultural sensitivity
Cultural sensitivity, also referred to as cross-cultural sensitivity or cultural awareness, is the knowledge, awareness, and acceptance of other cultures and others' cultural identities. It is related to cultural competence (the skills needed for effective communication with people of other cultures, which includes cross-cultural competence), and is sometimes regarded as the precursor to the achievement of cultural competence, but is a more commonly used term.
Paralanguage
Paralanguage, also known as vocalics, is a component of meta-communication that may modify meaning, give nuanced meaning, or convey emotion, by using techniques such as prosody, pitch, volume, intonation, etc. It is sometimes defined as relating to nonphonemic properties only. Paralanguage may be expressed consciously or unconsciously. The study of paralanguage is known as paralinguistics and was invented by George L. Trager in the 1950s, while he was working at the Foreign Service Institute of the U.S.
Cultural pluralism
Cultural pluralism is a term used when smaller groups within a larger society maintain their unique cultural identities, whereby their values and practices are accepted by the dominant culture, provided such are consistent with the laws and values of the wider society. As a sociological term, the definition and description of cultural pluralism has evolved. It has been described as not only a fact but a societal goal. In a pluralist culture, groups not only co-exist side by side but also consider qualities of other groups as traits worth having in the dominant culture.
Transculturation
En anthropologie, la transculturation désigne le processus par lequel une communauté emprunte certains matériaux à la culture majoritaire pour se les approprier et les refaçonner à son propre usage. Ce processus concerne par exemple les rapports entre communauté régionale et nationale, entre communauté marginale et dominante, minoritaire et majoritaire, subordonnée et dominante Le concept de transculturation s'oppose à celui d'acculturation qui est plus ancien, et qui désigne l'absorption de la minorité par la culture dominante.
Cross-cultural communication
Cross-cultural communication is a field of study investigating how people from differing cultural backgrounds communicate, in similar and different ways among themselves, and how they endeavor to communicate across cultures. Intercultural communication is a related field of study. During the Cold War, the economy of the United States was largely self-contained because the world was polarized into two separate and competing powers: the East and the West.
