Intersubjectivity and Intercultural Dialogue. Phenomenological Sociology and Its Contributions to the Intercultural Communication

Intercultural communication is defined as any communicative situation where at least two people coming from different cultural-geographic matrices interact. Some definitions, even, put emphasis at the concrete moment at which the ability is shown to negotiate meaning cultural in the communicative interaction. Therefore, the key of the intercultural communication is the interaction with different, what the yet objective thing interaction with or, mainly, subjectively, is perceived like different, whatever the reason for distinction (race, sort, social class, sexual preference, etc.). In this text one reflects on the interculturality from the concepts of intersubjectivity and world of life, originating Phenomenological Sociology.
