The International Encyclopedia of Intercultural Communication, 3 Volume Set Hardback

Edited by Young Yun Kim

Part of the ICAZ - Wiley Blackwell-ICA International Encyclopedias of Communication series

Hardback

Description

The International Encyclopedia of Intercultural Communication employs a broadly-based taxonomy of intercultural communication (ICC) that consists of six organizing themes.

Those themes are the traditional ICC core theme—known as "intercultural communication"—and five associated themes recognized as "cross-cultural communication," "cultural communication," "intergroup communication," "intercultural training," and "critical intercultural communication." This encyclopedia addresses issues of ethnicity and race in intercultural communication—not as a separate theme, but as an integral part of each thematic area.

It also provides entries outside the ICC's discipline of communication, such as cross-cultural psychology, cultural anthropology, and social psychology. This work features 256 articles written by 249 authors representing 19 different countries.

The articles address issues, theories, and concepts that have substantively contributed to the development of ICC theory and research (ie: Hall's high- and low-context communication systems; Hofstede's four dimensions); methodological issues of importance to ICC research (ie: emic and etic; sampling equivalence); and summaries of findings from original studies directly pertaining to the ICC domain (ie: cross-cultural psychological studies of cultural differences in variables pertaining to message processing and verbal/nonverbal communication behavior). Overview of the ICC domain as a wholeKey research topics in the field with a strong global editorial teamOverview essays on the six thematic areas of studyCross-over information from cross-cultural psychology, cultural anthropology, and social psychologyPart of The Wiley Blackwell-ICA International Encyclopedias of Communication series, published in conjunction with the International Communication Association.

Online version available at Wiley Online Library. The International Encyclopedia of Intercultural Communication is an ideal book for international communication undergraduate and graduate students as well as for academic researchers and professional practitioners of intercultural communication.
