【内容简介】: Leo Thayer(1979)曾说过:“我们今天所面临的(人类沟通问题)与两个世纪前孔子所思考的问题没有本质上的不同”;只有“完全彻底了解沟通现象”之后才能找到解决冲突的方法。为此,跨文化交际学学者和研究者们一直在不懈努力,期望能更充分地解析交际的复杂过程。本书作者Stella Tin9—Toomey就是涉足此领域较早的学者之一,她长期不懈的努力使人们对多个跨文化交际问题的了解更加全面深入,特别是在研究种族/民族认同、跨文化冲突管理、文化认同和跨文化“面子观”等方面,她发展的理论获得了广泛赞誉。 《文化间的交流))正是融合了Tin9—Toomey多年的教学研究成果和实地调查经验的一本基础读物。作者在前言中指出本书有五大特点:1、全书由统一主题——“留心(Mindfulness)”概念贯穿;2、介绍了一个涵盖知识、动机和技巧等多方面内容的理论诠释模型;3、从第三章到第十章,每章结尾处都提供了简单可行的建议,指导读者如何将所学知识和技巧应用在实际的跨文化交际中;4、本书多个章节采用图示或表格处理关键概念和理论,易于读者理解概念间的相互关系,形成视觉记忆;5、本书采用的是跨学科的视角。在林林总总的跨文化入门著作中,本书围绕一个核心概念、两条理论主线组织信息的方式,以及注重理论联系实际的写作指导思想,可谓独具特色。
