Cross-cultural Communication Perspectives in Theory and Practice

Cross-cultural Communication Perspectives in Theory and Practice

Cross-Cultural Communication is a collection of essays that examines how practitioners can improve the acceptance of their documentation when communicating to cultures other than their own. The essays begin by examining the cross-cultural issues relating to quality in documentation. From there the essays look at examples of common documents analysing them from several perspectives. Specifically the author uses communication theories (such as Bernstein's Elaborated and Restricted Code theory and Marwell and Schmidt's Compliance-Gaining theory) to show how documents used by readers who are not native speakers of English can be written and organized to increase their effectiveness. The principal assumption about how practitioners create their documents is that while large organizations can afford to write translate and then localize small- to medium-size organizations produce many documents that are used directly by people in other cultures-often without translating and localizing. The advantage the writer gains from these essays is in understanding the strategies and knowing the kinds of strategies to apply in specific situations. In addition the essays can serve as a valuable resource for students and teachers alike as they determine ways to understand how cross-cultural communication is different and why it makes a difference. Not only do students need to be aware of the various strategies they may apply when creating documents for cross-cultural settings they also need to see how research can apply theories from different areas-in the case of these essays communication and rhetorical theories. Another value of the essays is to show the students the role standards play in cross-cultural communication; standards are written by committees that follow style rules developed by the International Standardization Organization in Geneva. Thus both students and practitioners can find valuable cross-cultural communication advice in these essays. | Cross-cultural Communication Perspectives in Theory and Practice

Cross-Tradition Engagement in Philosophy A Constructive-Engagement Account

Cross-Tradition Engagement in Philosophy A Constructive-Engagement Account

This book presents a systematic unifying-pluralist account—a constructive-engagement account—of how cross-tradition engagement in philosophy is possible. The goal of this constructive-engagement account is by way of reflective criticism argumentation and methodological guiding principles to inquire into how distinct approaches from different philosophical traditions can talk to and learn from each other for the sake of making joint contributions to the contemporary development of philosophy. In Part I of the book Bo Mou explores a range of fundamental theoretic and methodological issues in cross-tradition philosophical engagement and philosophical interpretation. In Part II he analyzes several representative case studies that demonstrate how relevant resources in the Western and Chinese philosophical traditions can constructively engage with each other. These studies cover issues in philosophical methodology metaphysics epistemology philosophy of language and logic and ethics. The book’s theoretical and practical approaches expand the vision coverage and agenda of doing philosophy comparatively and promote worldwide joint efforts of cross-tradition philosophical inquiries. Cross-Tradition Engagement in Philosophy will be of interest to graduate students and scholars interested in comparative philosophy and the intersection of Chinese and Western philosophy. It will also appeal to those who are interested in the ways in which cross-tradition philosophical engagement can enhance contemporary philosophical debates in metaphysics epistemology philosophy of language and logic and ethics. | Cross-Tradition Engagement in Philosophy A Constructive-Engagement Account

Fred Dallmayr Critical Phenomenology Cross-cultural Theory Cosmopolitanism

Fred Dallmayr Critical Phenomenology Cross-cultural Theory Cosmopolitanism

Fred Dallmayr’s work is innovative in its rethinking of some of the central concepts of modern political philosophy challenging the hegemony of a modern “subjectivity” at the heart of Western liberalism individualism and rationalism and articulating alternative voices claims and ideas. His writings productively confound the logocentrism of Western modernity while providing alternative conceptions of political community that are post-individualist post-anthropocentric and relational. The editor has focused on work in three key areas:Critical phenomenology and the study of politicsThe first selections focus on the philosophical roots of Dallmayr’s work in two of the most innovative intellectual trends of the twentieth century: phenomenology and critical theory. These chapters outline some of the main arguments advanced by practitioners of phenomenology particularly “existential phenomenology ” as well the guiding ideas of critical theory and critical Marxism while tracing Dallmayr’s debt to thinkers such as Heidegger Gadamer Habermas Adorno and Merleau-Ponty. Cross-cultural theoryThese readings illustrate Dallmayr’s explorations beyond the confines of Western culture as this phase of his thinking turns toward what is now called cross-cultural or “comparative” political theory. In an approach that maintains its linkage with critical phenomenology Dallmayr asserts that Western (or European-American) political theory can no longer claim undisputed hegemony; rather it must allow itself to be contested amplified and corrected through a comparison with non-Western theoretical traditions and initiatives. CosmopolitanismThese selections explore the final phase of Dallmayr’s work in which he applies his insights on cross-cultural studies to the context of global politics rebutting Samuel Huntington’s “clash of civilizations” thesis and instead arguing for a cosmopolitanism that takes a middle path between both global universalism and restrictive particularism advocating sustained dialogue and respectful mutual learning between countries and civilizations. | Fred Dallmayr Critical Phenomenology Cross-cultural Theory Cosmopolitanism

Managing Culture and Interspace in Cross-border Investments Building a Global Company

Managing Culture and Interspace in Cross-border Investments Building a Global Company

This book focuses on the dialectics between spatio-organisational gaps and local contexts that characterise cross-border investments. Interspatial investments – be it mergers & acquisitions (M&A) or greenfield investments – are usually characterised by what is referred to as otherness i. e. organisational and cultural distances of the firms involved in relation to their regional contexts. At the same time economic political and socio-cultural linkages are decisive for attracting cross-border investments to regions and for providing firms with conditions supportive of their market success. As a consequence of being locked into complex structures of proximities cross-border investments are situated in contested terrain. This terrain triggers learning processes in both regional actors and investors which can result in the convergence of mindsets and organisational issues. This book is unique in that it combines interspace (defined as the distance between the new owner and the cross-border venture) place (the target region) interpretation (perception and understanding of the investment by the actors involved) and context (institutions actor networks and interaction) thus offering better understanding of recent processes of globalisation. Crossing disciplinary boundaries by integrating economic geography and management studies the volume adopts an innovative and spatially informed perspective on foreign direct investments (FDI). This perspective will be of great value to scholars students and practitioners. The volume is inventive in its approach in that it offers fresh readings from interdisciplinary theoretical approaches and combines these with valuable empirical insights from developed as well as Emerging Economies. | Managing Culture and Interspace in Cross-border Investments Building a Global Company

Constructing a Cross-Border Region in the Pacific Northwest The Residents of Cascadia at the Canada/US Border

Constructing a Cross-Border Region in the Pacific Northwest The Residents of Cascadia at the Canada/US Border

For residents living at national borders the divisions between countries are rarely black and white and often everyday interactions contribute to the creation of a cross-border region. This book examines this phenomenon in Cascadia which runs along the Canada/US border in the Pacific Northwest. Placing people at the heart of the analysis the book considers the everyday interactions and links which bind residents together and help to define Cascadia as a cross-border region. The book also assesses the impact that increased border security in the wake of 9/11 has had on border residents. Following a bottom-up approach rather than a top-down approach the book examines how border security impacts the residents’ mobility their representations of the border and potentially the existence of a cross-border identity. Drawing on extensive original qualitative and quantitative data this book will be of interest to researchers across border studies geography geopolitics and cultural studies as well as to policy-makers and other stakeholders with an interest in cross-border cooperation. | Constructing a Cross-Border Region in the Pacific Northwest The Residents of Cascadia at the Canada/US Border

Translation of Contemporary Taiwan Literature in a Cross-Cultural Context A Translation Studies Perspective

Translation of Contemporary Taiwan Literature in a Cross-Cultural Context explores the social cultural and linguistic implications of translation of Taiwan literature for transnational cultural exchange. It demonstrates principally how asymmetrical cultural relationships mediation processes and ideologies of the translation players constitute the culture-specific translation activity as a highly contested site where translation can reconstruct and rewrite the literature and the culture it represents. Four main theoretical themes are explored in relation to such translation activity: sociological studies cultural and rewriting studies English as a lingua franca and social and performative linguistics. These offer insightful perspectives on the translation as an interpretive encounter between not only two languages two cultural systems and assumptions taking place but also among various translation mediators. This book will be useful to scholars and students working on translation and cultural studies China/Taiwan literature studies and literature studies in cross-cultural contexts. | Translation of Contemporary Taiwan Literature in a Cross-Cultural Context A Translation Studies Perspective

Region-Making and Cross-Border Cooperation New Evidence from Four Continents

Region-Making and Cross-Border Cooperation New Evidence from Four Continents

This book explores the nature of regions and how they function particularly at the local and micro-level. Whilst recent years have seen a resurgence in debates around the roles which regions can play in development the focus has tended to be on 'macro' regional institutions such as the EU ASEAN ECOWAS or MERCOSUR. In contrast this book offers a nuanced analysis of the important field of sub-regionalism and sub-national cross-border cooperation.

In the Cross of Reality The Hegemony of Spaces

In the Cross of Reality The Hegemony of Spaces

This book makes the first volume of Eugen Rosenstock-Huessy’s Soziologie available in English for the first time since its 1956 publication in German. Rosenstock-Huessy argues that social philosophy has favored abstract and spatially contrived categories of social organization over temporal processes. This preference for space-thinking has diverted us from recognizing the power of speech and its relationship to living on the front lines of life. Taking speech and the social responsibilities and reciprocities that accompany naming as the key to social reality In the Cross of Reality provides a sociological exploration of “play” spaces as the basis for reflexivity. It also explores the spaces of activity and their correlation in war and peace to the spheres of “serious life. ” If we are to survive and flourish different qualities and reciprocal relationships must be cultivated so that we can deal with different fronts of life. Arguing that modern intellectuals and their obsession with space have created a dangerously false choice between mechanical and aesthetic salvation Rosenstock-Huessy clears a path so that we better appreciate our relationship between past and future in founding and in partitioning time. | In the Cross of Reality The Hegemony of Spaces
