ABSTRACT Cultural translation is a holistic process. The analysis of this process demands a critique that is similarly holistic which proposes that a translation can be examined from the perspectives of translators, documents, and readers. The present study purposes to demonstrate that this three-part critique is crucially interrelated in the English translation of Madurese cultural texts. To do this, in-depth interviews, document analysis, and questionnaire distribution were applied. The results reveal the translators’ competence of translation processes in practice and the readers’ responses regarding work of translation play a significant role in the performance of the translation task of Madurese cultural texts.

ABSTRACT This mixed-methods explores the intercultural communicative competence (ICC) and intercultural sensitivity (IS) of Vietnamese international students who participated in offshore programmes. A group of 164 students were examined. The students studied abroad at several universities overseas, and then returned to their Vietnamese university as part of an offshore programme between a Vietnam university and partnered universities overseas. The quantitative and qualitative results altogether suggested there were relationships between three ICC constructs, with each construct valued by students differently. Our findings also showed the relationships between ICC and IS to some extent. Students located across three different continents placed importance on the five elements of IS. Although students most valued respect for cultural differences, their growth in IS seemed to contribute to their ICC levels.

ABSTRACT The Implicit Leadership Theory, GLOBE study, and Norton’s Communication Styles frame this study into how employees from different cultures expect leaders to communicate effectively. Survey data collected from 160 college students with prior work experience who represented 56 different countries, identified the three most preferred leadership communication styles (i.e. impression leaving, friendly, attentive), across six cultural clusters (i.e. African, Anglo, Confucian Asian, Latin American, the Middle Eastern, South Asian clusters). Focus group data collected from 25 participants provides insight on how employees expect leaders from these six clusters to enact these styles. Guidelines emerge from the findings.

ABSTRACT Research on international volunteer programmes has paid little attention to participants’ own situated understandings of intercultural communication experiences in a short-term international volunteer context. The paper reports on a qualitative investigation into the experiences of Chinese participants in a short-term international volunteering programme in an elementary school in Jordan which involved co-teaching the English language with partners from the U.S. It focuses on how participants interpreted the challenges of managing communication and building rapport with the children and their volunteer partners, with particular attention to the attribution of difficulties to perceived cultural differences. Findings show that participants struggled to interpret the significance of behaviour outside their usual cultural frames of reference and that frequent reliance on dichotomous framings of cultural difference created barriers to rapport.

ABSTRACT Media has stripped Muslim women of agency by promoting the stereotype of a “submissive” Muslim woman. My essay seeks to build a counter archive of wilful Muslim women by tracing the moves of Pakistan’s former Prime Minister, Benazir Bhutto. I argue that Benazir’s wilfulness became a catalyst for collective action that not only overthrew a tyrannical regime, but also expanded the borders of possibilities for Muslim women. Using Sara Ahmed’s theoretical construct of wilfulness, I develop three themes: how Benazir became a marked woman, how wilfulness spread amongst Pakistanis, and how Benazir’s wilfulness empowered female leadership in the Muslim world. I conclude with some autoethnographic remarks on what Benazir’s legacy means to me as a Pakistani Muslim woman.

ABSTRACT As of May 2021, more than 14.7 million people have been infected and nearly 409,000 people have died from COVID-19 in Brazil. During the pandemic, there were countless cases of discrimination, racism, prejudice, and violence towards Brazil’s Afro-Brazilian population. Using integrated threat theory (ITT), this study investigates prejudice towards Afro-Brazilians. Specifically, this study (n= 410) examines the extent to which COVID-19 related prejudice towards Afro-Brazilians, who were partially blamed for the spread of the virus, is related to prejudice and fear of COVID-19. Results reveal the following: ethnocentrism is positively related to symbolic and realistic threat and fear of COVID-19 is positively related to symbolic and realistic threat.

ABSTRACT This paper examines the role of social media as a public sphere during the Algerian protests. A survey method was used on a randomly selected sample of social media users in Algeria. Findings showed that social media outlets were an alternative to traditional media, civil societies and opposition political parties. Furthermore, social media played an effective role in pulling people out of the spiral of silence and got them into the spiral of expression by a new perspective of explaining the mechanisms of social media influence in forming public opinion in exceptional circumstances when fear of isolation and conformity were no longer factors. Results also showed that social media expanded political participation and promoted democracy and freedom of expression in Algeria.

ABSTRACT Employing the Spiral of Silence theory, this study examines the influence of four cultural dimensions (collectivism, resistance to change, commitment to religion, and patriarchy and hierarchy) on gender variations in opinion expression in incongruent offline and online opinion climates about women working in the police force in Kuwait. The response of 534 individuals indicated that a tendency for expressiveness and personal support for women were positive predictors of opinion expression, while fear of isolation and respondents’ beliefs about the stance of Islam on the issue were both negative predictors. Both genders were affected by the same variables when they expressed their opinions offline, but they were each affected by different variables when online. The results suggest that women benefit from online discussions more than men.

ABSTRACT How does identity capital influence student engagement in the classroom? This article examines the narratives of sixty-three first year undergraduate students enrolled in a cross-cultural communication course to provide a portrait of the ways students envision identity capital influences their ability and willingness to engage in meaningful dialogues. Through semi-structured interviews, students demonstrate the importance of real and perceived intercultural capital as a condition for engaging in intercultural dialogues. Through a lens grounded in political correctness and identity capital, student voices illuminate ways faculty can expand the terrains of possibilities for authentic intercultural communication, increase opportunities for the development of realistic cultural empathy, and enable the negotiation of intercultural capital that transcends cultural boundaries and allows for the continued exchange and accumulation of identity capital.

ABSTRACT Sociolinguistics has integrated the study of language and society. A sociolinguistic viewpoint in film translation can uncover the maintenance or destruction of stereotypes. To contribute to the sociolinguistic study of film translations, Disney animations Tangled (2010) and Frozen (2013) and their Persian dubbed versions were examined based on Androutsopoulos’s (2012) framework that works on both macro and micro levels of analysis. The results showed that social class was influential in allocating specific linguistic varieties to the characters in the translations. Jaheli, which is an old-fashioned variety, was observed among the male leading roles that belonged to the poor or working class.
