Kommunikation und Kulturen/Cultures and Communication

herausgegeben von

Prof. Dr. Jörg Roche und Prof. Dr. Willie van Peer


A new series on intercultural studies, Cultures and Communication, has recently been launched by Jörg Roche and Willie van Peer, both at the University of Munich. The series is being published by LIT in Münster, and aims to be bilingual (German and English manuscripts are awaited). More information can be found on the website, at http://www.lit-verlag.de/reihe/kukcac.

In our increasingly globalized world, communication between cultures is attracting more and more attention. It is becoming increasingly clear that successful intercultural or transcultural communication is developed through mediation processes, rather than by simple `transmission of knowledge' alone. Unfortunately, this understanding is often arrived at too late, only after conflicts or miscommunication have occurred. By that time, the opportunity for analysing the communication process has often been lost, in part because communicators may be unwilling to collaborate with `outside' professionals on such an analysis. It is also true that while some sophisticated communication concepts have proven themselves to be indispensable for intercultural training, therapeutic interventions or the teaching of language and culture within an intercultural framework, such concepts and models are only credible when firmly grounded on theory-based research. This series is therefore motivated by the goal of contributing to well-founded, differentiated and interdisciplinary research on psychological, cultural-anthropological, media-related, hermeneutical, literary, medical, pedagogical, educational and policy-related aspects of communication between cultures.
