Spaces of Intercultural Communication - An Interdisciplinary Introduction to Communication, Culture and Globalizing/localizing Identities (Paperback)

This volume explores spaces where cultures meet and mix in entangles flows and levels of globality and locality. It makes a contribution to our understanding of the complex processes of communications across and beyond borders. It provides an introduction to intercultural/international communication and changing identities. Through its interdisciplinary approach it integrates theories from communication studies, cultural studies, media studies and social anthropology. The book consists of three major parts and eight chapters. The first part specifically addresses the concepts of communication and culture. The second addresses globalizing/localizing identities. Chapters in the third part theorize the spaces in which these processes take place and use the sociocultural phenomenon of television as an example to focus on the interdisciplinary potential of television studies.
