The relationship between organizational dissent and workplace freedom of speech: A cross-cultural analysis in Singapore
2017
AbstractThis study is a test of the relationship between organizational dissent and the perception of workplace freedom of speech in Singapore. Through a quantitative analysis of 384 individuals in Singapore, the following was found: articulated dissent and latent dissent are positively correlated with workplace freedom of speech. In addition, multiple analysis of covariance analyses revealed nation of birth exerted considerable influence on articulated dissent, and latent dissent, but not on workplace freedom of speech. The results provide evidence of how nation of birth is related to an individual’s willingness to express dissent. Theoretical and practical implications for research into o…
Intercultural empathy between Palestinian and Israeli individuals : a qualitative study utilizing grounded theory
2017
This study addresses intercultural empathy as a concept, and if or how it might be present among conflicting parties, specifically between Palestinian and Israeli individuals. Since there are many definitions of the word “empathy,” the researcher examines previous definitions of this term, how it relates to intercultural empathy, and then offers a singular definition for the purpose of this study. Previous research has examined empathy in relationship to other familiar words, including “sympathy” and “compassion,” though there has been little research done on the term, “intercultural empathy,” as a whole, nor has it often been studied between specific conflicting parties. Through interviews…

2011
This thesis studies the professional integration in Vietnam of French-speakers in terms of communication. The study context involves French recruiters and Vietnamese candidates in authentic recruitment situations. Introduction presents an overview of the problem: if, as declared by E.T. Hall, culture and communication are the same phenomenon viewed under two particular facets, is it possible for French recruiters and Vietnamese candidates to communicate in order to understand, get along with each other, and reach agreement ? How can communication be viewed in the situation of cultural differences? In fact, cultural codes facilitate communication only when they are shared. The paradox is tha…
Intercultural Communication in Teaching Chinese to European Students
2015
Abstract The major goal of the present study is to highlight to tight connection and interdependency between language and culture from both theoretical and applied perspectives, with special focus on the reciprocal influence and impact on teaching Chinese language and literature to foreign students, particularly in the European context. Famous scholars have wisely noted the sine-quanon relation of society, culture, history, geography and language evinced in the process of communication, at large, and most notably in translation, literary studies and language learning, which are complex processes requiring a thorough and conscious immersion in the context of the language. The paper also incl…

Kultūras pārmaiņas Gaujas baseinā laikā no 8.līdz 11.gadsimtam
2017
Darbā apskatīts kultūras izmaiņu atspoguļojums Gaujas baseina arheoloģiskajā materiālā laikā no vidējā dzelzs laikmeta beigām līdz vēlā dzelzs laikmeta beigām, kas aptuveni sakrīt ar vikingu laikmetu Skandināvijā. Izvēloties šādu hronoloģiju, iespējams labāk novērtēt Skandināvu kultūras ietekmi A-Baltijā. Aktivizējoties tirdzniecībai pa Daugavu, latgaļi savā kultūrā iekļauj ievērojamu daudzumu lībiešu kultūrai raksturīgu priekšmetu formu. Lai gan liela daļa šo priekšmetu ir analizēti to funkcionālo grupu kontekstā, šo priekšmetu izplatības kultūru starpā analīze ļauj labāk izprast to simbolisko nozīmi un sociālo funkciju.
Reconceptualizing cultural literacy as a dialogic practice
2019
Culture and heritage are plural and fluid, continually co-created through interaction between people. However, traditional monologic models of cultural literacy reflect a one-way transmission of static cultural knowledge. Using the context of a large European project and augmenting the work of Buber with models of literacy as social practice, in this article cultural literacy is reconceptualized as fundamentally dialogic. We argue that cultural literacy empowers intercultural dialogue, opening a dialogic space with inherent democratic potential. Considering implications for the classroom, we outline how a dialogic pedagogy can provide a suitable context for the development of young people's…
Bilingual corporate websites - from translation to transcreation?
2013
Published version of an article in the journal: Journal of Specialised Translation.

Corporate websites are multimodal, and verbal messages, images, layout and sometimes animations and sound interact to create the rhetoric on the site. With web texts being instantly available to readers anywhere, the translator’s role as a cultural mediator attains a special significance as the texts may be access…
