A propos de cet article

CULTURE SHOCK: EXPERIENCING THE OTHER: PAPERS PRESENTED AT THE CULTURE SHOCK CONFERENCE HELD AT MALASPINA UNIVERSITY/COLLEGE, MAY 1997, edited by Kevin Roberts; Andra Thakur; Gary Tunnell, softcover, 1999. BOOK CONDITION: fine. The text block is in fine condition with no tears, dog-ears, or marks. There is no bookplate nor signature of a prior owner. Signed by one of the editors on the title page. Not a library book or remainder. The wraps are in near fine condition. 9 x 6, 164 pages, 10 ounces. XX [From the back cover] Humans generate culture and, paradoxically, culture makes us human. There are as many ways to be human as there are cultures. Moving from one culture to another can be profoundly disorienting, because the rules are changed at a level that affects our humanness, our identity, at its most basic. The papers collected here address this transition of identity. They look at the experience of traveling to cultures quite different from our own, at the Culture Shock that comes from returning home after long periods away, and perhaps the most disorienting event of all, the experience of cultural dislocation at home. All of these events tell us about the process of being human, by looking at how human beings change as they move from one culture to another. CULTURE SHOCK will be of use to graduate students going into the field; travelers interested in understanding other cultures; university faculty looking for controversial topics for classroom discussion; businesspeople who must work overseas; those interested in social identity and how it changes. Clitoridectomy, ethnicity, racism, culturally determined cognitive strategies, attitudes toward leprosy and even social interactions in a pub come under analysis in this fascinating collection of articles.…
