Seminar
SoSe 16: Intercultural Communication
Nicholas Boston
Comments
An exploration of some of the historical and political conditions that make intercultural communication possible, the barriers that exist to effective intercultural communication, and possible solutions to the problem of intercultural misunderstanding. The course examines examples of differences in communication styles not only between cultures but also within. As a result, issues of race, nation, class, gender, religion, immigration, and sexual orientation will be of significant concern. The course stresses the notion that knowledge of human beings is always knowledge produced from a particular location and for a particular purpose. As a result it encourages students to think carefully about the discipline of Intercultural Communication - its conditions of possibility, its assumptions, and its blind spots - as well the need to be mindful of the limitations and interests of our positioning as investigating subjects. close
