Intercultural Communication in an Age of DisruptionUdgave 1

This edited volume is grounded in the recognition that we are living in an age of disruption, evident on multiple fronts including rising global inequality, environmental degradation, war, the unchecked growth of generative AI, the mining of our attention by digital tech corporations and increasingly polarised political discourse.

Representing a diverse range of voices, disciplines and contexts, the contributors to this book respond to this current state by considering its effects on their working environment and practices and how their understanding of interculturality is transformed in relation to these global conditions. Through engaging with these contributors who actively research and critically interrogate interculturality as a core concept, this book makes a significant contribution to the field of intercultural communication, arguing that the future relevance and theoretical potential of interculturality is contingent on maintaining a critical approach to the concept while preserving an open perspective to social interaction which emphasises interdependence.

This book will be essential for academics, postgraduate researchers, and teachers working in intercultural studies and related fields.
