As a rapidly aging continent, Europe increasingly depends on the
successful integration of migrants. Unfortunately, contemporary
political and media discourses observe and frequently also support
the development of nationalist, eurosceptic and xenophobic
reactions to immigration and growing multiethnicity. Confronting
this trend, European cinema has developed and disseminated new
transcultural and postcolonial alternatives that might help to
improve integration and community cohesion in Europe, and this book
investigates these alternatives in order to identify examples of
good practices that can enhance European stability. While the
cinematic spectrum is as wide and open as most notions of
Europeanness, the films examined share a fundamental interest in
the Other. In this qualitative film analysis approach, particular
consideration is given to British, French, German, and Spanish
productions, and a comparison of multiethnic conviviality in
Chicano cinema.

A highly interdisciplinary overview of the wide spectrum of current
international research and professional practice in intercultural
communication, this is a key reference book for students, lecturers
and professionals alike. Key examples of contrastive, interactive,
imagological and interlingual approaches are discussed, as well as
the impact of cultural, economic and socio-political power
hierarchies in cultural encounters, essential for contemporary
research in critical intercultural communication and postcolonial
studies. The Handbook also explores the spectrum of professional
applications of that research, from intercultural teaching and
training to the management of culturally mixed groups, facilitating
use by professionals in related fields. Theories are introduced
systematically using ordinary language explanations and examples,
providing an engaging approach to readers new to the field.
Students and researchers in a wide variety of disciplines, from
cultural studies to linguistics, will appreciate this clear yet
in-depth approach to an ever-evolving contemporary field.
Uniquely interdisciplinary and accessible, The Cambridge
Introduction to Intercultural Communication is the ideal text for
undergraduate introductory courses in Intercultural Communication,
International Communication and Cross-cultural Communication.
Suitable for students and practitioners alike, it encompasses the
breadth of intercultural communication as an academic field and a
day-to-day experience in work and private life, including
international business, public services, schools and universities.
This textbook touches on a range of themes in intercultural
communication, such as evolutionary and positive psychology, key
concepts from critical intercultural communication, postcolonial
studies and transculturality, intercultural encounters in
contemporary literature and film, and the application of
contemporary intercultural communication research for the
development of health services and military services. The concise,
up-to-date overviews of key topics are accompanied by a wide
variety of tasks and eighteen case studies for in-depth
discussions, homework, and assessments.
