Pathways across Cultures: Intercultural Communication in South Africa is a uniquely South African communication textbook. Local examples of communication methods from a wide range of cultural groups are used to explain theories of communication and complex intercultural concepts. It covers some of the rich cultural histories of the rainbow nation, such as Khoisan cave drawings, highlighting the intercultural communication styles of the early peoples who lived in South Africa. The book also includes critical commentary on western theories and approaches to studying intercultural communication.
With a view to decolonising how intercultural communication is taught in South Africa, where possible the chapters in this book have been co-authored with emerging scholars. This approach provided mentoring opportunities for emerging scholars to develop case studies. As a result, this book has a wide-ranging perspective on intercultural communication that is representative of South Africa’s own cultural diversity.

On a dark and stormy night, an unnamed narrator is visited by two
women: one a former lover, the other a stranger. They ruthlessly
question their host and claim to know his greatest secret: that he
is, in fact, a woman. In increasingly desperate attempts to defend
his masculinity, perplexed by the stranger's dubious claims to be
the writer Amparo Davila, he finds himself spiralling deeper into a
haunted past that may or may not be his own. This surreal novel
enfolds a masterful exploration of gender in taut, atmospheric
mystery.

The little stories and the traditions that grew up around Saint
Martin de Porres of Peru are fascinating and every bit as charming
as the stories told of Saint Francis of Assisi. But as
Garcia-Rivera shows, these deceptively simple stories reveal much
more. For the first time Garcia-Rivera unpacks these stories, using
the semiotic method and insights garnered from the works of Robert
Schreiter, Eugene Genovese, and Antonio Gramsci.To build this
method of theological reflection Garcia-Rivera addresses such
questions as: does an authentic Latin American theology exist? If
it exists, where and how can it be expounded? What does Saint
Martin de Porres beatification process tell us? How do the little
stories reflect and extend the great theological debate of
Valladolid in 1550, with BartolomA de las Casas and Juan Gines de
Sepulveda arguing whether the Indians were even human beings? Using
the semiotics of culture to delve into these stories, the author
provides rich and astonishing insights into the power of the little
story, told and retold over time by ordinary folk, that make
possible the Big Story of universal principles of human reality.

Today's global markets demand that companies of all sizes look to
international markets for potential customers. The successive
crises that have taken place in the last decade make the
internationalization of companies essential. This situation is
further aggravated in the case of SMEs, as surviving only from
national markets is becoming increasingly difficult. Indeed, the
economic sphere is in constant flux, which demands that companies
have a great capacity for adaptation to face the new challenges of
an ever more globalized and difficult market. In this context, new
forms of business communication are emerging, especially through
the web and new technologies. Digital marketing and the
dissemination of corporate information have become key processes
for the success of companies. It is therefore crucial to research
different digital marketing processes and ways of breaking down
linguistic and cultural barriers between users from different
sociolinguistic contexts. Innovative Perspectives on Corporate
Communication in the Global World contains different contributions
focused on the description of methods, processes, and tools that
can be adopted to achieve corporate internationalization goals. The
chapters provide a comprehensive review of the why, what, and how
of disseminating corporate information and promoting corporate
digital communication into internationalization processes. These
strategies can be related to the development of digital tools, the
design of new corporate communication strategies, the proposal of
new ways of breaking social and linguistic barriers between
technology users, or the creation of new methodologies aimed at
evaluating the effectiveness of digital marketing strategies. This
book is ideal for marketers, managers, executives, entrepreneurs,
practitioners, researchers, academicians, and students interested
in new corporate communication strategies and their effectiveness.
Climate change (CC) is currently an unquestionable phenomenon. If
not stopped, it will be catastrophic for life on earth. Scientific
evidence shows that human activities are the primary driver of CC
tendencies since the industrial times. In this book, we present the
relationship between development and CC, with special reference to
agriculture, the rural sector, and policies aimed to promote
sustainable development. We also give special attention to the
situation in low- and medium-income countries particularly rural
households and small farmers in these countries.The study of
agriculture, CC, and sustainability requires consideration of
natural resources and their uses (land, freshwater, forests, etc.),
as well as the rural sector since land for agricultural production
often expands at the expense of forests. In addition, the use of
water for agricultural production affects the availability of this
resource for other uses in the urban, industrial, and service
sectors. Consequently, sustainable agricultural development under
CC requires an interdisciplinary or at least a multidisciplinary
approach. In this book, we do our best to deal with this challenge
by focusing on issues and topics related to agriculture and its use
of natural resources in the context of CC, but without ignoring the
interrelations of these phenomena with further aspects of
sustainability beyond agriculture.
Informed by Gloria Anzaldua's and Jose Carlos Mariategui's work, as
well as by Andean cosmology, Omar Rivera turns to Inka stonework
and architecture as an example of a "Cosmological Aesthetics." He
articulates ways of sensing, feeling and remembering that are
attuned to an aesthetic of water, earth and light. On this basis,
Rivera brings forth a corporeal orientation that can be inhabited
by the oppressed, one that withdraws from predominant
modern/Western conceptions of the human. By providing an aesthetic
analysis of cosmological sensing, Rivera sets the stage for
exploring physical dimensions of anti-colonial resistance, and
furthers the Latinx and Latin American tradition of anti-colonial
and liberatory philosophy. Seeing aesthetic involvements with the
cosmos as a source for embodied modes of resistance, Rivera turns
to the work of Maria Lugones and Enrique Dussel in order to make
explicit the aesthetic dimensions of their work. Andean Aesthetics
and Anticolonial Resistance creates a new dialogue between art
historians, artists, and philosophers working on Latin American
thought, phenomenology, and hermeneutics. It weaves together a
Latin American philosophy that connects pre-Columbian cosmologies
with contemporary thinkers. Rivera's original approach introduces
us to the living, evolving and aesthetic alternatives to
coloniality of power and of knowledge, overhauling current
understandings of decolonial theory and opening the tradition in
transformative ways.
