Theorizing Intercultural Communication Through Dimensional Accrual and Dissociation
This paper elaborates the theory of dimensional accrual and dissociation (DAD) as an approach to intercultural communication research, offering novelty towards the framing of difference. DAD provides an alternative to traditional structural-functional theories, which frequently treat culture as an external communicative feature rather than an ontology. Accordingly, traditional approaches imply that culture and difference are obstacles to be overc…
Chanting and Enchantment: A Philosophical Communicology of Idolic Submission and Emotional Intoxication Part I: Foundation
In this first of two articles on chanting and enchantment we introduce the problem of mass synchronisation via collective communicative action that works to eliminate or lessen independent and critical assessment. Chanting forges a singular ‘collective’ identity with little to no structure that would allow for logical tests such as falsifiability. We argue that this problem can be a fundamental threat to democratic polity, and we offer the Neo-Ka…
Cultural value discrepancies, strategic positioning and integrated identity: American migrants’ experiences of being the Other in mainland China
Focusing on 35 American migrants’ experiences in mainland China, this study provides a new conceptual understanding of international migrants’ Other-identity formulated in and through intercultural encounters. Guided by grounded theory, this study demonstrates that American migrants’ Otherness was frequently triggered by their divergences from Chinese cultural values’ emphasis on individuals’ conformity to interdependence, group interests, group …
The Working Poor: Two Perspectives on Reality—A Communication to the Editor Inviting a Discussion
In a recent interview, the richest man in the world, Bill Gates, gave us his perspective on things. He confidently stated that even with adjusted inflation, everyone in the United States was better off today than 30 or 40 years ago because of the digital revolution. He explained to the rapt interviewer, Fareed Zakaria, that economic progress had been mis-measured by focusing on income too much. He specified that today everyone has a better qualit…
Cultural fusion theory: An alternative to acculturation
This article lays out a theoretical framework for cultural fusion theory. This theory borrows from various theoretical frameworks to provide a more realistic description of the immigrant experience. Specifically, cultural fusion theory describes how newcomers acculturate into the dominant culture and maintain aspects of their minority culture, while at the same time the dominant or host culture also fuses aspects off the newcomer’s culture into t…
It's Not Like You Need to Live 10 or 20 Years: Challenges to Patient-Centered Care in Gynecologic Oncologist-Patient Interactions
The literature suggests that the patient-perspective approach (i.e., eliciting and responding to patients' perspectives, including beliefs, preferences, values, and attitudes) to patient-centered care (PCC) is not a reliable predictor of positive outcomes; however, little is known about why the patient-perspective approach does not necessarily lead to positive outcomes. By using discourse analysis to examine 44 segments of oncologist-patient inte…
A critique of Bernstein’s beyond objectivism and relativism: Science, hermeneutics, and praxis
This analysis comments on Bernstein’s lack of clear understanding of subjectivity, based on his book, Beyond Objectivism and Relativism: Science, Hermeneutics, and Praxis . Bernstein limits his interpretation of subjectivity to thinkers such as Gadamer and Habermas. The authors analyze the ideas of classic scholars such as Edmund Husserl and Friedrich Nietzsche. Husserl put forward his notion of transcendental subjectivity and phenomenological ra…
