Perception and Communication in Intercultural Spaces

Autor Lily A. Arasaratnam
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 29 mar 2011
Perception and Communication in Intercultural Spaces explores the ways in which cultural values and beliefs influence communication. It captures intercultural communication in everyday contexts by introducing the concept of intercultural spaces. The book does not prescribe "ten easy steps" to effective intercultural communication; rather, it discusses the what and the why of intercultural issues in the hope that the readers can adapt their understanding to suit their own contexts, given that the specific ways intercultural issues unfold are as varied as the contexts in which the readers may find themselves. The book includes a discussion of theoretical frameworks in the areas of culture, cognition, and communication, as well as the practical application of these frameworks with the use of conversations, critical incidents, and short stories.

Recenzii

This book is a lot like watching the magic of carpet weaving. Dr. Lily Arasaratnam carefully selects the silk threads that tie perception, communication and intercultural spaces together. She dyes the threads in brilliant shades of red, blue, and yellow, representing the history, contributions and insights of scholars from communication, psychology, and linguistics. Then, like a master weaver, Dr. Arasaratnam weaves complex patterns and ideas with ease and conviction. We are transported to a space, a place, filled with events, stories, dialogue and discovery. As Dr. Arasratnam so profoundly points out, in this intercultural world of ours, perception counts.
Intercultural communication has become a part of our daily life. Too often textbooks have been written from a single cultural point of view. Lily Arasaratnam's book is a fortunate exception. It makes the reader a world citizen who chapter after chapter understands more of the puzzle of intercultural relations.
An insightful approach to intercultural communication. Readers can expect to enhance their understanding of intercultural communication as it applies to their own personal narratives and experiences. Arasaratnam artfully blends the theoretical and conceptual into practical applications. This book covers the essential material for a wide-ranging examination of intercultural communication and all its complexities.
