Sommario/riassunto

Communication across cultural borders has been the ideological-political program of the Indian state since its foundation ("Unity in Diversity"), but the opening of Indian economy and markets a decade and a half ago has led to a confrontation of Indian society with other



societies and cultures never before. The technical achievements of the new media have also made communication considerably easier. As a result, the foreign language departments of the universities in the country have experienced a qualitative shift in their objectives: not only the understanding of printed texts in foreign languages ​​is relevant today, but also increasingly the societies and cultures in which these languages ​​are spoken. Against this background, the German Section of the Department of Foreign Languages, University of Pune, organized an international interdisciplinary conference in Pune (7-9 January 2008), at which various practical and theoretical approaches were presented that illustrate the process and the mechanisms Analyze Intercultural Understanding. This publication is a collection of contributions made during this conference; they present current theoretical positions, research methods and the practice of intercultural communication.
