Abstract

This chapter considers aesthetic and intercultural engagement in second language education, with attention to the construct of aesthetic engagement in process drama. It advances a framework for intercultural aesthetic engagement, a pivotal concept underpinning the book. Here the author draws from a wide spectrum of key theorists, as well as research on intercultural awareness and spontaneity, to illustrate the main theoretical points. The chapter includes a process drama structure, At the Gypsy Camp, a workshop reflecting on intercultural issues involving the co-existence of Roma people and Italian people, considering actualities and stereotypes related to minority ethnic communities.
