CID Poster 4: Types of Cultural Communication Translated into French

CID PostersSeveral years ago Linda J. de Wit created a dozen CID posters. The Center has just been asked to translate some of these into French, and is in the process of doing so.

Here we present the first one completed, CID Poster 4: Types de communication culturelle, which clarifies the differences between intercultural, intracultural, cross-cultural, and international communication. This new version of the poster now exists thanks to the French translation provided by Léonie Potvin, and the graphic design work by Yan Qiu.

CID Poster #4: Types of Cultural Communication (reprise)

CID Posters(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 need for clarification between intercultural/ intracultural/ cross-cultural/ international forms of communication has been made obvious by the number of times I’ve been asked to explain the differences. These terms have been discussed at length in many publications; one direct source is:

Leeds-Hurwitz, W. (1990). Culture and communication: A review essay. Quarterly Journal of Speech, 76, 85-96.

The idea to use fruit for the visual explanation of the different terms was Linda’s, and came from proverbs: in English, one is told not to compare apples and oranges; in many other languages, the fruits referred to are apples and pears. The poster thus implicitly refers to the relativist idea that cultures shouldn’t be judged in comparison to others.
