Meeting Description:

Intercultural communication: the (martial) art of non-violent communication.
Greet De Baets, Ellen Van Praet

Keywords:  interculturalism, aikido, non-violence, martial arts,
sociolinguistics

In today’s deeply divided times, intercultural understanding is suffering:
“unscrupulous media and politicians stoke ethnic and racial fear for their
personal gain” and “ever more barriers between people […] are being put up and
fortified” (Piller, 2017: 202).
It has been widely documented that one of the challenges people are facing in
intercultural relations is communicating non-violently or collaboratively
(Rosenberg, 2015; d’Ansembourg, 2001). This panel wants to engage with
perspectives on bridging cultures, zooming on the importance of non-violent
communication (Rosenberg, 2015). In particular, it invites explorations of the
potential relevance of self-defence techniques (e.g. martial arts) or the
philosophy of peace and non-violence (Brawdy, 2001) for the training of
intercultural communication skills. 
Specifically, the panel welcomes contributions from different geographical
contexts, different methodologies and different research domains.
