This book offers a conceptual intervention for Language and Intercultural Communication studies by advocating for a critical interdiscursive approach to research on interculturality. The volume addresses two interrelated theses in research on interculturality; namely that the speaking subject in interaction reproduces the egocentrism and phonocentrism of the Munchausen Effect. In considering the first, the book traces the ways in which interculturality research has historically supposed the ‘speaking subject’—that is, the research participant—as the basis of truth and knowledge, not giving context to the discursive layers or paratexts involved in analyzing the subject’s speech. This notion of the ‘speaking subject’ being taken at face value prompts Simpson’s second interrelated argument on representation and historical conceptualizations of community in interculturality research, whereby, in trying to represent their subjects, researchers often impose a sense of community affiliation onto their subjects and end up negating their subjective identities. The book serves as a conceptual and practical response to calls for epistemological diversity and plurality within Interculturality in proposing an approach that brings epistemology and ontology together. This book will be of interest to scholars in intercultural communication, language education, identity theory, and philosophy of education.

Un Writing Interculturality In Education And Research written by Fred Dervin and has been published by Taylor & Francis this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2024-12-16 with Education categories.
This highly original and stimulating edited volume focuses on ways of un‐writing the polysemous, controversial and highly political notion of interculturality in research and education. The authors argue that no ‘critical’ perspective on interculturality can do without revising, exploring and creating ways of engaging with different and potentially new aspects and forms of inquiry of the notion in writing. They also claim that un‐writing interculturality can serve an emancipatory function towards an epistemic re‐appraisal of the mainstream(s) and the dominant(s). While critiquing problematic perspectives, as well as the ‘taken‐for‐granted’ and ‘things as usual’ within interculturality scholarship, writing about interculturality is epistemically significant and indicative of change in the ways the notion is used. Each chapter reflects on how to un‐write, un‐do and un‐learn interculturality in research and aims to provide some answers to the following questions: What could un‐writing interculturality mean? What are the pros and cons of un‐writing in research on intercultural communication education? and How does constant work on languaging around interculturality contribute to enriching the notion globally? The book is aimed at students and scholars who wish to push the boundaries of scholarly engagement with interculturality, especially in relation to their modalities of writing, reasoning and critiquing.

This book challenges the silence surrounding money, revealing its profound influences on personal and social identities and power dynamics in intercultural contexts. In this inimitable book, Fred Dervin continues to explore the notion of interculturality by offering a novel and critical exploration of the often-overlooked role of money, especially within the broad field of Intercultural Communication Education and Research (ICER). Adopting a robust interdisciplinary lens and drawing on concrete examples, the author combines, for example, financial education, literature, philosophy and sociology to critique the economic and moral dimensions of global interactions in today's confused and confusing world. From examining the commodification of intercultural relations to proposing shared responsibility and ethical reasoning, Money and Interculturality: A Theory provides a fresh perspective on how money shapes and often distorts interculturality. Based on a unique integration of contemporary, historical and literary insights, Dervin questions and deepens our understanding of interculturality while equipping readers with new vocabulary and frameworks to address the harsh realities of global, unpredictable and power-laden communication. This somewhat provocative book represents an essential reference for educators, practitioners, researchers and students seeking to investigate the connections between money and interculturality.

This book explores the decades-long use of the notion of interculturality in education and other fields, arguing that it is now time to move beyond certain assumptions towards a richer and more realistic understanding of the ‘intercultural’. Many concepts such as culture, identity and intercultural competence are discussed and revised. Myths about interculturality are also unpacked and dispelled. Written by one of the leading scholars in the field, this book proposes a very useful framework to address theoretical and methodological issues related to interculturality. This somewhat provocative book will be of interest to anyone who wrestles with this knotty but central notion of our times.

Routledge Introductions to Applied Linguistics is a series of introductory level textbooks covering the core topics in Applied Linguistics, primarily designed for those beginning postgraduate studies, or taking an introductory MA course as well as advanced undergraduates. Titles in the series are also ideal for language professionals returning to academic study. The books take an innovative 'practice to theory' approach, with a 'back-to-front' structure. This leads the reader from real-world problems and issues, through a discussion of intervention and how to engage with these concerns, before finally relating these practical issues to theoretical foundations. Additional features include tasks with commentaries, a glossary of key terms, and an annotated further reading section. Exploring Intercultural Communication investigates the role of language in intercultural communication, paying particular attention to the interplay between cultural diversity and language practice. This book brings together current or emerging strands and themes in the field by examining how intercultural communication permeates our everyday life, what we can do to achieve effective and appropriate intercultural communication, and why we study language, culture and identity together. The focus is on interactions between people from various cultural and linguistic backgrounds, and regards intercultural communication as a process of negotiating meaning, cultural identities, and – above all – differences between ourselves and others. Including global examples from a range of genres, this book is an essential read for students taking language and intercultural communication modules within Applied Linguistics, TESOL, Education or Communication Studies courses.

Originally published in 1989, Reclaiming Reality still provides the most accessible introduction to the increasingly influential multi-disciplinary and international body of thought, known as critical realism. It is designed to "underlabour" both for the sciences, especially the human sciences, and for the projects of human emancipation which such sciences may come to inform; and provides an enlightening intervention in current debates about realism and relativism, positivism and poststucturalism, modernism and postmodernism, etc. Elaborating his critical realist perspective on society, nature, science and philosophy itself, Roy Bhaskar shows how this perspective can be used to undermine currently fashionable ideologies of the Right, and at the same time, to clear the ground for a reinvigorated Left. Reclaiming Reality contains powerful critiques of some of the most important schools of thought and thinkers of recent years—from Bachelard and Feyerabend to Rorty and Habermas; and it advances novel and convincing resolutions of many traditional philosophical problems. Now with a new introduction from Mervyn Hartwig, this book continues to provide a straightforward and stimulating introduction to current debates in philosophy and social theory for the interested lay reader and student alike. Reclaiming Reality will be of particular value not only for critical realists but for all those concerned with the revitalization of the socialist emancipatory project and the renaissance of the Marxist theoretical tradition. Roy Bhaskar is the originator of the philosophy of critical realism, and the author of many acclaimed and influential works including A Realist Theory of Science, The Possibility of Naturalism, Scientific Realism and Human Emancipation and Dialectic: The Pulse of Freedom. He is an editor of the recently published Critical Realism: Essential Readings and is currently chair of the Centre for Critical Realism.

Does two and two equal four? Ask someone and they should answer yes. An equation such as this seems the very definition of certainty, but is it? In this book, Helen Verran addresses precisely that question.
