Intercultural Spaces: Language, Culture, Identity
Summary
This selection of peer-reviewed essays is taken from the Royal Irish Academy Symposium Intercultural Language, Culture, Identity, hosted by Dublin City University in November 2003. It brings together a fascinating range of scholarly interpretations of the ‘intercultural space’ with rich contributions coming from the fields of sociology, politics, language teaching and learning, translation, drama, literature, and history. Individually each essay draws the reader into its own particular ‘intercultural space’ shaped by the norms and parameters of the discipline within which it is being described. As a collection, however, the essays link these usually separate spaces together to forge new and exciting interdisciplinary connections. This collection offers readers from many different disciplines a comprehensive array of interpretations and insights into the phenomenon that is the ‘intercultural space’, and invites them to explore the richness of this concept as it is revealed in Intercultural Language, Culture, Identity.
