    This book is part of a six-volume international series entitled
    */Communicating Otherness/* [Luísa Magalhães, UCP & Enrique
    Castelló-Mayo, USC (Editors-in-chief)]. The theme of this series is
    the development of the concept of Otherness within an
    interdisciplinary perspective that combines Communication Studies
    with disciplines across the Arts and Humanities, Philosophy,
    Sociology, and Cultural Studies. We aim at entangling this concept
    with the position of the Other. Hence, we propose interpreting the
    process of othering from within, switching the traditional
    perspectives related to the use of power (by the Self towards the
    Other). In so doing, we will investigate the realm of the Other (as
    transformed into an alternative Self, an object that the self can
    observe, study, reflect upon) from a multidisciplinary perspective.

    Vol.2, */Crossing Borders, Crossing Cultures: Otherness in literary
    and intercultural communication/* proposes to address intercultural
    contacts and their resulting perception of divergences and
    similarities between cultures as represented in Intercultural
    Literature.

    Thebook will address representations of the /Other /in literary
    contexts, discussing intercultural negotiations and experiences, and
    how the multicultural debate occurs in literaryproduction. Contact
    between countries, as well as voluntary or forced migration or exile
    became an increasingly frequent reality, even within the boundaries
    of each country. Contemporary society has radically changed in terms
    of the relationships established between the various existing
    cultures and in multiple interacting geographies. Mobility and its
    effects are felt by everyone, be it through work, business, leisure,
    travel, or study.  Such dynamics are increasingly frequent and
    overcome political borders and nationalities. This generates a
    conceptual space, i.e., a reality that Intercultural Literature
    specifically addresses as it examines the circulation of people,
    goods, and ideas as evidence for the interaction between political,
    sociological, and anthropological endeavors and crossings of cultures.

    Contributions to this volume might include (but are not limited to)
    explorations of:

    1.Multicultural societies and relational identities

    2.The Other and its diverse representations

    3.Post-colonial contacts and continuous legacies

    4.Intercultural and transcultural negotiations and experiences
