| Summary: | The „Transcultural Dictionary of Misunderstandings. European and Chinese Horizons“ is the result of an initiative which forges a radically new path for promoting transcultural understanding by studying culture-bound keywords. Working through various semantic layers of keywords on both sides helps to create a more transparent language for transcultural dialogue. The creation of such a language is the effect of producing, exchanging, and working through misunderstandings on the Chinese and the European side. Moreover, every translation is a transformation, marking similarities and differences which can lead to an uncovering of new ideas, values, and cultural practices. This unconventional dialogue is a great source of inspiration because it works through hardened assumptions and misrepresentations, unsettles schematic thinking, and leads to unexpected insights and new points of contact. In our case, we show the experiment of misunderstanding through the examples of crucial legal terms, i.e. equality and private property.
