Narratives of Storytelling Across Cultures demonstrates how meaning
found within interpersonal communication is not universal across
all cultures. Miscommunication can occur when the foundations of
cultural meaning within stories, as told socially and within media,
vary among different cultures. Positioned within the communication
and media field, this book connects issues of societal tension and
political battles to media portrayals, social communication events,
and power dynamics that result when people with different meanings
systems attempt to negotiate "truth" among their competing
narratives. After establishing the theoretical foundation of the
book, contributors provide specific case studies that demonstrate
underlying cultural components and complexities that lead to these
issues. Tony R. DeMars and Gabriel Tait have assembled contributors
with research, experience, and understanding of intercultural
communication challenges in different social groups, allowing the
book to take on a broader scope of intercultural communication.
Scholars of communication, conflict resolution, political science,
sociology, and media studies will find this book particularly
useful.
