Omschrijving

What it means to be a self - and a self communicating and being in a particular culture - are key issues interwoven throughout Min-Sun Kim′s impressive text, Non-Western Perspectives on Human Communication. Going beyond cultural descriptions or instructions on adapting to specific cultures, the author interrogates the very core assumptions underlying the study of human communication and challenges longstanding individualistic, Western models on which much intercultural research is based. Kim proposes a non-western way of conceptualizing identity, or the "self" - the cornerstone of cultural research -- illuminating how traditional western and non-western views can be blended into a broader, more realistic understanding of cultures and communication. Grounding her work in a thorough knowledge of the literature, she challenges students and researchers alike to reexamine their approach to intercultural study.

Features:

  • Interrogates
  • embedded assumptions about the traditional [Western] study of human communication with stunning, thought-provoking insight
    • Illuminates
    • issues surrounding culture and identity formation and challenges the reader to examine not only the study of human communication, but its engagement in everyday life
    • Informs
    • complex academic theory with stellar writing, poignant examples, and careful analysis
    • Invites
    • scholars and students to explore and integrate a long overdue multicultural perspective on human communication.
