'Intercultural dialogue', as a concept and ideology in the European
Union, stimulates a rational 21st century society where people can
engage in (intercultural) communication on a global scale, and can
do so openly and freely in conditions of security and mutual
respect. Intercultural dialogue connotes dialogic communication
that is peaceful, reconciliatory, and democratic. Yet the term and
its accompanying rhetoric belie the intercultural communicative
undercurrents and their manifestations that people encounter in
their daily lives. The research-informed chapters in this book,
which are situated in international contexts, provide more nuanced
understandings, and many even challenge this non-critical ideology
by suggesting that the concept of intercultural dialogue is
inoperable and problematic under the present conditions of
globalisation and migration, where there exists conflict,
vulnerability, and instability. The different theoretical
perspectives and analyses presented by the authors are a reminder
that researchers in the field of intercultural communication
require robust and appropriate theories, methods, and pedagogies in
order to research these complex conditions and contexts,
particularly where different languages and identities are present.
The book is also a reminder of how context and power both (re)shape
and contest the central tenets of intercultural dialogue-in
particular, of who speaks for whom, when, how, and under what
circumstances and conditions. This book was originally published as
a special issue of Language and Intercultural Communication.
