Performing the Gendered Self in Intercultural Communication

This book is an academic attempt in the study of the intersectionality of gender and religious identities, exploring the socio-cultural dynamics of communication and the performance of identity through intercultural interactions.

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.
