His intercultural pedagogy would be best labeled as ＂psychophysical＂ based on his own assertions and when bearing in mind the traditions that he considers most personally influential, all of which have intercultural elements, both Western and Asian. This paper examines Zarrilli＇s personal origins, his pedagogy, his teaching influences, and his legacy based on his artistic progeny. Information was gathered through interviews, personal observation, on-site participation, and literature. The subjects of these analyses were： the disciplines of Asian origin relevant to Zarrilli＇s pedagogy; how his teaching influences his students; Zarrilli＇s personal development from university to his present international teaching, directing, and writing; his past and current projects; and what his work means today.展开更多

This paper reveals that such a suspicion is spurious by paying special attention to the notion of＂standpoint＂ which has a relative but substantial effect. The proper recognition of this point highlights the sense in which the insights drawn from multiculturalism and their educational embodiments are crucial for the future of humanity as a whole, which is far beyond the enduring controversy about universality and particularity.展开更多
