Cross-cultural Communication Perspectives in Theory and Practice

Cross-cultural Communication Perspectives in Theory and Practice

Cross-Cultural Communication is a collection of essays that examines how practitioners can improve the acceptance of their documentation when communicating to cultures other than their own. The essays begin by examining the cross-cultural issues relating to quality in documentation. From there the essays look at examples of common documents analysing them from several perspectives. Specifically the author uses communication theories (such as Bernstein's Elaborated and Restricted Code theory and Marwell and Schmidt's Compliance-Gaining theory) to show how documents used by readers who are not native speakers of English can be written and organized to increase their effectiveness. The principal assumption about how practitioners create their documents is that while large organizations can afford to write translate and then localize small- to medium-size organizations produce many documents that are used directly by people in other cultures-often without translating and localizing. The advantage the writer gains from these essays is in understanding the strategies and knowing the kinds of strategies to apply in specific situations. In addition the essays can serve as a valuable resource for students and teachers alike as they determine ways to understand how cross-cultural communication is different and why it makes a difference. Not only do students need to be aware of the various strategies they may apply when creating documents for cross-cultural settings they also need to see how research can apply theories from different areas-in the case of these essays communication and rhetorical theories. Another value of the essays is to show the students the role standards play in cross-cultural communication; standards are written by committees that follow style rules developed by the International Standardization Organization in Geneva. Thus both students and practitioners can find valuable cross-cultural communication advice in these essays. | Cross-cultural Communication Perspectives in Theory and Practice

Mentalizing the Body Integrating Body and Mind in Psychotherapy

Mentalizing the Body Integrating Body and Mind in Psychotherapy

Mentalizing the Body brings together theory and practice with the latest neurobiological and developmental psychological findings to understand the relevance of the body in a wide range of mental disorders especially personality and somatization disorders. Ulrich Schultz-Venrath provides insight on individual bodily phenomena within psychotherapeutic treatments – experienced by patients as well as therapists – and focuses on the importance of the intentionality of bodily symptoms and how they can be integrated in the talking cure.

Schultz-Venrath provides detailed insight on the range of therapies and treatments available from individual and group psychotherapies to body art and music therapy with clinical case studies and diagrams throughout.

Body/Embodiment Symbolic Interaction and the Sociology of the Body

Body/Embodiment Symbolic Interaction and the Sociology of the Body

The body and experiences of embodiment have generated a rich and diverse sociological literature. This volume articulates and illustrates one major approach to the sociology of the body: symbolic interactionism an increasingly prevalent theoretical base of contemporary sociology derived from the pragmatism of writers such as John Dewey William James Charles Peirce Charles Cooley and George Herbert Mead. The authors argue that from an interactionist perspective the body is much more than a tangible corporeal object - it is a vessel of great significance to the individual and society. From this perspective body self and social interaction are intimately interrelated and constantly reconfigured. The collection constitutes a unique anthology of empirical research on the body from health and illness to sexuality from beauty and imagery to bodily performance in sport and art and from mediated communication to plastic surgery. The contributions are informed by innovative interactionist theory offering fresh insights into one of the fastest growing sub-disciplines of sociology and cultural studies. | Body/Embodiment Symbolic Interaction and the Sociology of the Body
