Drawing on recent, critical work dealing with culture theory, ethnicity, and multiculturalism, this articleseeks to address the nexus between conflict resolution theory and practice and aims primarily to contribute tothe work of practitioners functioning as third parties and intervenors in intercultural and interethnicconflicts and disputes. Two conceptions of culture are proposed and analyzed: a technical,“experience‐distant” sense of the term, crucial for conflict analysis (and for educationand training); and an affectively laden, often politicized, “experience‐near” senseof the term, at the root of so much intergroup conflict and thus implicated in effective and ethicalintercultural practice.
