“…Politics of colonialism and racist inferiority planted deep inside the subconscious ‘colours’ the perception of communication encounters involving the coloured and the white interactants, ‘politicizing’ their narrative transactions in terms of evaluations of superior or inferior communication practices not simply as different communication practices. Through this work, we further add and enrich the literature on the critical perspectives on intercultural communication (Bjerregaard, et al, 2009; Kurylo, 2017). (c).…”

“…Intercultural communication has been understood and studied as a special case of interpersonal communication in an intercultural context (Kurylo, 2017). From this perspective, culture is a set of beliefs, values, ideologies and assumptions shared by a group of people (Adler, 2002) shaping individual perceptions and cognitions and hence constituting a strong differentiator in intercultural communication (Nisbett and Miyamoto, 2005).…”

The objective of the study is to analyze the communicative experiences of Indian managers with other culture interactants from a geopolitical perspective of colonialism. The authors collected data from 21 Indian managers working in diverse industries with experience of working in multinational environments. The study discovered that contrary to the thesis of cultural distance that presupposes ease of communication with culturally proximal countries, Indian managers voice their predilection for working with the culturally distant West. This study contributes to intercultural communication literature by presenting an interpretation of such communication through a geopolitical perspective that recognizes colonialism and asymmetric power relations of global value chains (GVCs) as factors intersecting with intercultural discourses. It is in this aspect that studies focusing on intercultural business communication should go beyond the bounds of conformity to the essentialist cultural paradigm of Hofstede, Hall and Trompenaars to explore the complexities that underlie interpersonal conversations in multinational transactions beyond the stipulations of a semiotic focus. An important implication of this study is that training for intercultural business communication needs to go beyond sensitization to language and semiotics to address the evaluative compulsions that are triggered owing to years of subconscious conditioning by the potent geo-political and historic forces of colonization.

To study political identity construction, a thematic analysis is used to explore online reviews of the book Beating Obamacare. Themes that emerged construct four political identities relevant to the construction Obamacare, the American public, President Obama and politicians, and those in opposition to Obamacare. The construction of these identities contributes to group vitality. This process is facilitated by the juxtaposition of the construction of the American public with those who oppose Obamacare versus politicians. Notably, this construction is accomplished with the near absence of reference to political party affiliation creating a realignment of political identity in a way that provides stronger group vitality than would be achieved across traditional partisan lines. This chapter has implications for understanding how identity is constructed online to demonstrate group vitality in ways that facilitate intracultural and intercultural communication.
