A major objective of this book is to identify the key determinants
of the "East" and the "West" in the field of intercultural
communication. It examines but also counter-attacks essentialist
and culturalist analyses of intercultural communication between
China and the rest of the world. Offering a cross-country
examination and comparison of drought awareness and experience,
this book shows two fields of research, which are complementary but
rarely found side by side, i.e. the Arts and Intercultural
Encounters, serve as illustrations for theoretical and
methodological discussions about intercultural communication
between China and the West. Scholarly and media discourses will
find this work thought-provoking, instructive and informative.

This volume revisits the notions of Orientalism, Occidentalism and,
to a certain extent, Reverse Orientalism/Occidentalism in the 21st
century, adopting post-modern, constructionist and potentially
non-essentialising approaches. The representations of the 'cultural
Other' in education, literature and the arts are examined by
scholars working in Australia, France, Hong Kong, Japan, Malaysia,
Singapore and the USA. Vinyl compilations, TV series, novels,
institutional discourses and surveys, amongst others, are examined
so as to better understand how people construct their identity in
relation to an imagined and idealised Other. This book will appeal
to all researchers and students interested in cultural identity and
stereotypes of the 'East' and the 'West', in particular in the
fields of academic mobility, cultural studies, intercultural
education, postcolonial literature and media studies.

The concept of culture has long been criticized, with many scholars
reformulating it or discarding it entirely. The field of
intercultural communication and relations, however, still relies on
culture to examine interculturality and this volume provides a
comprehensive examination of the problems that the concept poses
today.
This book brings together recent research on Global Academic
Mobility and Migration (GAMM) from a variety of perspectives and
contexts. There is now a widespread consensus that most countries
and world regions are witnessing GAMM. Bringing together leading
scholars from Australasia and Europe, this volume offers readers
detailed account of the new politics of such acts of mobility and
migration. The following key issues are dealt with: mobility
determinants, social injustice, management and administrative
problems, as well as teaching-learning challenges. The book invites
students, researchers and practitioners to reflect further on the
nature of today's education on the move.
