About this Item

Digital (intercultural) experiences and practices are embedded into-and influenced by-sociocultural phenomena at the heart of social life in our postdigital world. In empirical studies and theoretical discussions, the contributors to this volume explore digital intercultural communication from the perspectives of (socio)linguistics, (inter)cultural studies, and related disciplines. Building on these empirical and theoretical undertakings, they lay the foundation for this emerging field by conceptualizing "digital interculturality".

About this title

Synopsis

Digital intercultural experiences are shaped by broader sociocultural dynamics, including migration, corporate discourse, and social activism. This volume offers a comprehensive exploration of ‘digital interculturality’, drawing on insights from intercultural communication studies, sociolinguistics, and adjacent fields. The contributors examine how digital technologies―such as social media platforms, translation apps, and artificial intelligence―mediate intercultural encounters, identities, and meaning-making processes. Together, these perspectives advance our understanding of the entanglement of intercultural communication with digital technologies, laying the groundwork for ‘digital interculturality’ as an emerging interdisciplinary field.
