Im dritten Raum: von der kulturvergleichenden Differenzbestimmung hin zur Analyse des Wirkungszusammenhang zwischen Imaginationen interkultureller Kompetenz und subjektiver Verortungsstrategien von AkteurInnen der EZ; ein Perspektivwechsel unter Verknüpfung von Ansätzen der postkolonialen Theorie

Abstract: In this article we propose a line of argument which emphasizes the correlation between the imagination of intercultural competence and subjective strategies of situating the self (i.e. selfsituating) in a particular context. The presented conclusions are based on an empirical study which employed methods of alternative perspectives. The study's theoretical backbone is supported by postcolonial theories in order to analyze the essential factors guiding the involved actors during situations with inde- \ terminate intercultural properties. We present the (empirical) process in which two employees of the German Development Service and one member of the German embassy were interviewed before and after their respective training seminars. The focus during the interviews was set on the participants' imagination of cultural competence in order to bring to the fore the emergent relationship of individual biographical experiences with strategies of self-situating. \ This studies' results high
