Across, beyond, through.
The concept of Transculturality (lat. trans - on or to the other side of : across : beyond : through2) goes back to the cuban anthropologist Fernando Ortiz Fernandez (1940).
Culture like an iceberg
Edward T. Hall defined cultures like icebergs (an entity with a small visible and a big invisible part). The visible part can be language, food, art, greetings, music, dresscode, daily rhythm, rituals etc. and the invisible part like beliefs, worldview, religion, decision making models, power relationships, concepts of justice, etc.
Social culture
The concept of Transculturality defends the principle that every human is composed of more than one culture - He/she belongs to several social groups and has different social identities - that’s why hipsters look the same all over the world.
Culture like a river
Scientifics working on transculturality like to use the picture of riverbeds to show highly intertwined dynamic entities. Cultures are like rivers, fed by visible and invisible sources. Rivers converge, interpenetrate and form new arms. They are constantly renewing themselves and are always in motion.
