CID Poster #6: Dialogue Defined (reprise)

(We are reprising the series of posters, because it has been several years since they were originally created, and they are much too wonderful to let them not be noticed by newcomers to the site!)

This is the next of the posters designed by Linda J. de Wit, then in her role as CID intern. For this poster, you literally have to look from a different perspective to read the quote; the picture of birds on a wire also represents taking different perspectives. The source of the quote is:

Leeds-Hurwitz, W. (2016). De la possession des compétences interculturelles au dialogue interculturel: Un cadre conceptuel [Moving from having intercultural competencies to constructing intercultural dialogues: A conceptual framework]. Les Politiques Sociales, 3/4, 7-22.

Just in case anyone wants to cite this poster, the following would be the recommended format:

As with other series, CID Posters are available for free on the site; just click on the thumbnail to download a printable PDF. They may be downloaded, printed, and shared as is, without changes, without cost, so long as there is acknowledgment of the source.

As with other series, if you wish to contribute an original contribution, please send an email before starting any work to receive approval, to minimize inadvertent duplication, and to learn about technical requirements. As is the case with other CID Publications, posters should be created initially in English. Given that translations of the Key Concepts in Intercultural Dialogue have received so many views, anyone who wishes to translate their own poster into another language (or two) is invited to provide that as well. If you want to volunteer to translate someone else’s poster into a language in which you are fluent, send in a note before starting, to receive approval and to confirm no one else is working on the same one.

CFP ELT in Morocco

Call for Book Chapter Proposals: Critical Issues and Frameworks in ELT in Morocco: Interculturality, Neoliberalism and Linguistic Imperialism. Deadline: 5 February 2022.

Chapter proposals are solicited for the planned book Critical Issues and Frameworks in ELT in Morocco: Interculturality, Neoliberalism and Linguistic Imperialism, to be edited by Hamza R’boul (I-COMMUNITAS, Institute for Advanced Social Research, Public University of Navarre) and Mohammed Guamguami (ESEF, Mohammed Premier University, Oujda, Morocco) for publication with Palgrave Macmillan.

The book will draw on three main elements that are representative of the critical debates surrounding the world’s most widespread lingua franca; these elements are interculturality, neoliberalism and linguistic imperialism. This proposed book perceives Morocco as an example of the issues that the Global South has been struggling with. This proposed book aims at examining the potential privileged status of Anglophone perspectives and cultures as well as the possible critical representations in Moroccan ELT that may stymie hegemonic understandings of English. It will investigate attitudes, understandings, pedagogies and practices related to critical issues and frameworks in ELT in Morocco.

Jinhyun Cho: Intercultural Communication in Interpreting

Intercultural communication in interpreting: Power and choices. Guest post by Jinhyun Cho.

…by definition interpreter-mediated communication always involves speakers from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds in dialogue

What is intercultural communication? For many years, scholars have attempted to address this broad topic, yet little has been explored in the realm of interpreting. This is surprising, considering the fact that interpreting is intercultural communication in itself, for by definition interpreter-mediated communication always involves speakers from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds in dialogue. In my recent book, Intercultural communication in interpreting: power and choices (Routledge, 2021), I tried to address the gap by exploring interpersonal dimensions of intercultural communication in a variety of key interpreting contexts – business, education, law and healthcare – based on the unique perspectives of professional interpreters.

UNESCO Recommendation on Open Science

UNESCO. (2021). UNESCO recommendation on open science. Paris, France: UNESCO. (Also available in French and Spanish.)

This report was adopted unanimously by 193 UNESCO member states in November 2021.

Open dialogue with other knowledge systems refers to the dialogue between different knowledge holders, that recognizes the richness of diverse knowledge systems and epistemologies and diversity of knowledge producers in line with the 2001 UNESCO Universal Declaration on Cultural Diversity. It aims to promote the inclusion of knowledge from traditionally marginalized scholars and enhance inter-relationships and complementarities between diverse epistemologies, adherence to international human rights norms and standards, respect for knowledge sovereignty and governance, and the recognition of rights of knowledge holders to receive a fair and equitable share of benefits that may arise from the utilization of their knowledge. (p. 15)

(See also the related International Science Council publication Science as a global public good, issued in 2020, which set the stage by arguing that “The social contract is shifting to one in which science is open to society: transparent and participative” (p. 20). Both publications emphasize the need for intercultural and international dialogues among knowledge workers.)

CID Poster #5: Communication as Culture Definition (reprise)

(We are reprising the series of posters, because it has been several years since they were originally created, and they are much too wonderful to let them not be noticed by newcomers to the site!)

This is the next of the posters designed by Linda J. de Wit, then in her role as CID intern. The painting is Winter Landscape with Ice Skaters, by Dutch painter Hendrick Avercamp, painted around 1608. It is on display in the Dutch national museum Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, which has made many of its paintings available online in high resolution and copyright free. The painting illustrates the quote not only because it shows social interaction, but also because ice skating is considered a typical example of Dutch culture (and recently has officially been named part of Dutch cultural heritage). The silhouettes are designs from vecteezy.com. The quote comes from the following book:

Leeds-Hurwitz, W. (1989). Communication in everyday life: A social interpretation. Norwood, NJ: Ablex.
