Performing the Gendered Self in Intercultural Communication

While there is a multiplicity of identity markers that affect the dynamics of

intercultural communication, the intersectionality of gender and religion

deserves more scholarly attention. The book takes the dissimilar cultural

concepts and identity performance as a starting point, exploring the

significant role that the religious indoctrinations play in the construction

and performance of gender. It features contributions by the scholars

in the field of communication, gender and cultural studies, including

theoretical reflections on the socio-cultural formation of identity, dogmatic

impositions on gender roles, and the performance of gender identity in

intercultural settings.
