A Culture Paradox in Contemporary Intercultural Communication Research

导出

摘要经济全球化带来了文化的变迁和融合,对学界现有文化观进行反思已成为必要。以"文化等同于国家"和"文化对个体行为具有决定性影响"为主要特征的固定特质观在当今跨文化交际学领域根深蒂固,可谓是一个文化悖论。为了使跨文化交际研究更加契合当今的经济全球化趋势,本文对固定特质观进行系统的批判和分析,揭示其历史渊源、本质特征、内在缺陷和功能范围,并提出在跨文化交际研究中融入动态过程观的主张,试图实现对文化悖论的超越。 Globalization has brought cultural change and integration, which creates a need to reconsider the concept of culture in intercultural communication research. This paper offers a critical analysis of the long existing fixed-traits view, which treats culture primarily as nationstate and the relationship between culture and individual behavior as linear. The paper addresses its historic roots, distinct characteristics, inherent deficiencies, and research focus. The paper concludes by calling for the incorporation of a dynamic process view of culture into intercultural scholarship in order to make it more sensitive to the context of globalization.
