Metaphor and Intercultural Communication examines in detail the dynamics of metaphor in interlingual contact, translation and globalization processes. Its case-studies, which combine methods of cognitive metaphor theory with those of corpus-based and discourse-oriented research, cover contact linguistic and cultural contacts between Chinese, English including Translational English and Aboriginal English, Greek, Kabyle, Romanian, Russian, Serbian, and Spanish.
Part I introduces readers to practical and methodological problems of the intercultural transfer of metaphor through empirical (corpus-based and experimental) studies of translators' experiences and strategies in dealing with figurative language in a variety of contexts. Part II explores the universality-relativity dimension of cross- and intercultural metaphor on the basis of empirical data from various European and non-European cultures. Part III investigates the socio-economic and political consequences of figurative language use through case studies of communication between aboriginal and mainstream cultures, in the media, in political discourse and gender-related discourses.
Special attention is paid to cases of miscommunication and of deliberate re- and counter-conceptualisation of clich s from one culture into another. The results open new perspectives on some of the basic assumptions of the 'classic' cognitive paradigm, e.g. regarding metaphor understanding, linguistic relativity and concept-construction.

Where contemporary art meets the millennium-old glassmaking techniques
Where contemporary art meets the millennium-old glassmaking techniques. The Palazzo Grimani Museum in Venice opens its doors to contemporary art with the exhibition In Grimani, a collateral event of the Venice Biennale featuring the glass sculptures by Ritsue Mishima. Born in Kyoto and resident in Venice, Mishima has bound her personal artistic research to the thousand-year-old techniques of glassmaking. Using exclusively transparent material, which does not interrupt the flow of light but gathers and contains all the other colors, the artist expresses herself in a contemporary language steeped in the artisan culture of the Murano master glassmakers who forge her ideas.
