[EDLING:1217] CFP: Intercultural Communication

[Francis M Hult]

> Journal Culture, Language and Representation invites contributions 
> for Volume 4 to be published May 2007
> 
> The issue will be devoted to "Intercultural Communication"
> 
> Since the various migratory phenomena entered the logic of 
> globalization, awareness has been raised about how different social 
> groups engage in open communicative processes. The cultural component 
> of communication covers a wide range of areas ranging from what has 
> been termed "material culture", to identity politics, power 
> relations, the idea of diversity and difference, concepts of the 
> border, as well as various other dimensions of communicative 
> interaction. Thus, the academic community has explored the field of 
> intercultural communication in an attempt to tackle and understand 
> those aspects of the communicative processes deriving from but not 
> directly related to linguistic abilities and variables.
> 
> Submissions may engage in the theoretical or empirical discussion of:
> 
> - Comparative analysis of communicative interactions between cultures.
> - The exploration and evaluation of intercultural situations in 
> divergent communicative contexts.
> - The analysis of transcultural, intracultural, ultracultural, 
> metacultural, or acculturization processes.
> - Educational proposals that adopt an intercultural communicative approach.
> - The role of the intercultural mediators in social contexts (public 
> services, institutions, etc.)
> - The role of the media and advertising in promoting or appropriating 
> elements of intercultural communication.
> - The articulation of issues of intercultural communication in the 
> arts, literature, film, or any other field involving creative processes.
