The Global World and its Manifold Faces: Otherness as the Basis of Communication

by Susan Petrilli

With respect to the prevalently monological character of the global world order, this book aims to show that different worlds are possible on the condition that we develop a critical linguistic consciousness. This means to recover otherness at the basis of communication, therefore the disposition to dialogue, difference, hospitality.
