This handbook brings together 26 ethnographic research reports from
around the world about communication. The studies explore 13
languages from 17 countries across 6 continents. Together, the
studies examine, through cultural analyses, communication practices
in cross-cultural perspective. In doing so, and as a global
community of scholars, the studies explore the diversity in ways
communication is understood around the world, examine specific
cultural traditions in the study of communication, and thus inform
readers about the range of ways communication is understood around
the world. Some of the communication practices explored include
complaining, hate speech, irreverence, respect, and uses of the
mobile phone. The focus of the handbook, however, is dual in that
it brings into view both communication as an academic discipline
and its use to unveil culturally situated practices. By attending
to communication in these ways, as a discipline and a specific
practice, the handbook is focused on, and will be an authoritative
resource for understanding communication in cross-cultural
perspective. Designed at the nexus of various intellectual
traditions such as the ethnography of communication, linguistic
ethnography, and cultural approaches to discourse, the handbook
employs, then, a general approach which, when used, understands
communication in its particular cultural scenes and communities.
