BRIDGING CULTURES INTERCULTURAL MEDIATION IN LI...

With the rapidly developing globalization of various sectors of modern life  individuals 
organizations  and nations are becoming increasingly aware of the ways in which cultural
diversity may not only be a potential cause of conflict but also a source of growth  creativity
and inspiration. If  traditionally  intercultural mediation has been understood as a
conflict-solving strategy  or as a means to facilitate communication between individuals from
different cultural backgrounds  this book aims at providing a framework and a set of
theoretical reflections towards a larger vision of the field  presenting mediation as a
particular form of critical intervention within the different domains of the humanities. The
contributions in the present volume take intercultural mediation to be a multifaceted 
interdisciplinary phenomenon  impacting upon the fields of linguistics and literature as well
as translation and cultural studies  where themes such as interculturality  multilingualism 
and cultural transfer are continual and urgent features of contemporary discourse and debate.
