[ecrea] new book - Transcultural Communication

Mon Sep 07 22:29:54 GMT 2015





Please find below some information on my latest book “Transcultural
Communication”. It is about the possibilities and limits of
cross-cultural communication in an increasingly mediatised and
globalised world - and might be of interest for some on this list.

The first chapter can be downloaded for free from my web site
(http://www.andreas-hepp.name/hepp_2015_introduction-2.pdf).

Best wishes,


Andreas Hepp

Transcultural Communication
by Andreas Hepp

In “Transcultural Communication”, Andreas Hepp provides an accessible
and engaging introduction to the exciting possibilities and inevitable
challenges presented by the proliferation of transcultural communication
in our mediatized world.

- Includes examples of mediatization and transcultural communication
from a variety of cultural contexts
- Covers an array of different types of media, including mass media and
digital media
- Incorporates discussion of transcultural communication in media
regulation, media production, media products and platforms, and media
appropriation

“...a masterly account of processes that we all experience in our
everyday lives. For those of us who write, teach, and speak about the
ever-changing processes of cultural exchange and fusion in the age of
global communication, this book is a perfect guide.” - Marwan M. Kraidy,
University of Pennsylvania, USA

“Transcultural Communication is a significant scholarly contribution to
the field and will be extremely valuable for both students and
researchers.” - Daya Thussu, Professor of International Communication,
University of Westminster, London, UK
