This handbook takes a multi-disciplinary approach to offer a current state-of-art survey of intercultural communication (IC) studies. The chapters aim for conceptual comprehension, theoretical clarity and empirical understanding with good practical implications. Attention is mostly on face to face communication and networked communication facilitated by digital technologies, much less on technically reproduced mass communication. Contributions cover both cross cultural communication (implicit or explicit comparative works on communication practices across cultures) and intercultural communication (works on communication involving parties of diverse cultural backgrounds). Topics include generally histories of IC research, theoretical perspectives, non-western theories, and cultural communication; specifically communication styles, emotions, interpersonal relationships, ethnocentrism, stereotypes, cultural learning, cross cultural adaptation, and cross border messages;and particular context of conflicts, social change, aging, business, health, and new media. Although the book is prepared for graduate students and academicians, intercultural communication practitioners will also find something useful here.

Scholars around the world are rapidly uncovering new information about nonverbal communication in human transactions. Authors from eight countries summarize the theory and research associated with various behaviors central to an understanding of nonverbal processes. The breadth and depth of this volume make it an important contribution to the scholarly literature on human behavior as well as to the application of that knowledge to everyday life.

Communication as a process of information sharing is a key segment of all management functions.
Insufficient or poor-quality information sharing suggests unproductive communication. Globalization
and development of modern, sophisticated technologies allow management to adapt and create
productive work communication. Considering the statements above, in this paper, the emphasis will
be on showing aspects of productive communication considering a maritime organization reflecting
metacommunication as a tool for improving communication skills. This paper will descriptively
explain the process of communication in the organization, the ways and actions a manager must take
as his activities in the function of business success, and how to improve communication to maximize
productivity with the main goal of incorporating metacommunication in an organization. For such, pilot
research was conducted on Graduate students of the Faculty of Maritime Studies in Split, majoring in
Maritime Management (imagining students as employees and professors as managers), which showed
that 75% know the concept of metacommunication, but only 51% use metacommunication with their
colleagues as a part of productive communication.

L'expression de l'alientité se fonde sur sa confrontation à celle de l'identité. Tandis que les identités font l'objet des représentations qui s'expriment au cours des expériences des échanges symboliques, des discours et de la communication, l'alientité désigne ce qui ne peut faire l'objet d'une représentation, ce qui se trouve à l'extérieur de l'espace public, en dehors des champs ordinaires du langage et des pratiques symboliques. On peut, ainsi, définir l'alientité comme ce qui n'est pas communicable, ce qui ne peut faire l'objet d'une représentation, ce qui se trouve exclu de l'espace public. La communication se fonde sur la reconnaissance d'une signification fondée sur la reconnaissance spéculaire des identités, tandis que la méconnaissance et la rupture du langage commun viennent peupler l'espace de porteurs d'alientité. En morcelant l'espace social entre des espaces de ghettos et d'identités séparées les unes des autres, la discrimination sociale rompt l'impératif démocratique de l'égalité et empêche que s'instaure une communication, condition de l'institution d'une identité et d'une citoyenneté partagées. ; « Alientity » is a term coined in opposition to « identity ». Whereas identities are the object of representations that are expressed in the course of symbolic exchanges, discourses and communication, « alientity » refers to what cannot be the object of representations, what is outside the public sphere and outside the ordinary spheres of language and symbolic practice. Therefore, « alientity » could be defined as what is not communicable, what cannot be represented, what is outside the public sphere. Communication is based on recognition of meaning that is itself based on a specular recognition of identities, while the world of alientity is peopled by the absence of recognition and the lack of any common language. By fragmenting the social sphere into ghettos and separate identities, social discrimination breaks up the necessity of equality in democracy and prevents communication, which is the precondition for establishing a shared identity and citizenship.
