Communicating Across Cultures de Stella Ting-Toomey

Communicating Across Cultures

Autor Stella Ting-Toomey, Tenzin Dorjee
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 8 oct 2018

Subliniem autoritatea academică a cercetătorilor Stella Ting-Toomey și Tenzin Dorjee, a căror expertiză în procesele de negociere a identității etice fundamentează acest volum esențial. Stella Ting-Toomey, profesor la California State University, a dedicat decenii studierii competenței în conflictele interculturale, iar lucrarea de față reprezintă o maturizare a conceptelor explorate anterior în titluri precum Understanding Intercultural Communication sau The SAGE Handbook of Conflict Communication. Remarcăm faptul că această a doua ediție a Communicating Across Cultures nu este doar o actualizare minoră, ci o revizuire substanțială, integrând 50% material nou pentru a reflecta dinamica socială globală din ultimii 20 de ani. Ne-a atras atenția modul în care autorii au structurat progresia informației în trei piloni fundamentali. Prima parte stabilește bazele conceptuale, introducând teoria integrativă a negocierii identității și analizând fenomene precum șocul cultural și aculturația. Partea a doua propune o perspectivă inovatoare prin „lentila mindfulness”, oferind cititorului instrumente pentru gestionarea comunicării verbale și nonverbale în contexte diverse. În final, volumul explorează reglarea granițelor și dezvoltarea relațiilor intergrupale, abordând teme sensibile precum prejudecățile, discriminarea și microagresiunile. Din punct de vedere al experienței de învățare, remarcăm stilul conversațional și onest, care transformă o teorie complexă într-un ghid accesibil. Fiecare capitol se deschide cu studii de caz și povești personale, oferind un context practic imediat, și se încheie cu „Mindful Guidelines” — seturi de instrucțiuni clare pentru aplicarea cunoștințelor în mediul profesional sau personal. Această ediție aduce în prim-plan subiecte de actualitate, de la pacea comunitară la relațiile romantice interculturale, menținând un echilibru riguros între cercetarea academică și utilitatea practică.

Recenzii

"I have reviewed almost all of the current intercultural communication texts, and I can state with certainty that Communicating Across Cultures, Second Edition, is the best I have read. The text is thorough, yet remains interesting, engaging, and digestible. Today, more than ever, we need to concentrate on building cultural competencies in our students. This text is a vehicle for doing so."--Michael J. Woeste, EdD, Department of Communication, University of Cincinnati
"What courage! In the midst of the greatest global mobility ever, Ting-Toomey and Dorjee have seized this moment to weave together intercultural knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors to develop powerful bridges across troubled waters. Expanding on Ting-Toomey’s first edition, the second edition eloquently synthesizes different contexts, disciplines, and perspectives. The book's examination of mindfulness and identity negotiation encompasses both domestic and international complexities. New discussions of mobility, adjustment and acculturation, and social identity theory are fresh and relevant. This sophisticated text, suitable for upper-division undergraduates and graduate students, will take center stage on your desk."--Janet M. Bennett, PhD, Executive Director, The Intercultural Communication Institute
“Utilizing an integrative identity negotiation theory framework, this book offers an in-depth, comprehensive, and research-based treatment of major intercultural communication theories and concepts, suitable for advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate courses. It examines core intercultural communication variables--identity, competence, values, culture shock, language, and nonverbal communication--before turning to important issues and settings such as immigration, intergroup biases, conflict, intimate relationships, and ethics. I am particularly pleased to see attention given to peacebuilding and social justice issues in the second edition. Ting-Toomey and Dorjee bring into the text their own rich experiences with intercultural communication, providing the reader with both motivation and tools for examining interaction and relationships in an increasingly interdependent, interconnected, and globalized world."--Benjamin J. Broome, PhD, Hugh Downs School of Human Communication, Arizona State University
"The book pinpoints and substantively addresses significant factors that affect intercultural human relationships in multiple global contexts. Each chapter provides substantive content followed by a chapter summary and critical thinking questions. This well-researched second edition provides what students need to hone their knowledge, skills, practices, and sensitivities with regard to diverse populations. It will make a good required text for my Ethnic and Cultural Concepts and Principles course."--Rita Takahashi, PhD, School of Social Work, San Francisco State University
"Of inestimable value for all individuals who recognize the importance of 'global and domestic diversity trends....Whether one is conversing with peers, loved ones or business contacts, using the strategies and information found in the pages of this book will, most assuredly, add to the quality of those interactions." (on the first edition)--Transcultural Psychiatry
