Home, Identity and Worldview

Home, Identity and Worldview as part of transcultural communication: The book identifies the universal characteristics of the specific human way of inhabiting the world. Attention is focused primarily on the symbolic semantic and orientational resources associated with the structuring of living space. The text illustrates the seemingly obvious assumptions of our everyday domestic life, with references to specific examples of the interrelated phenomena of identity, life style, urbanization and architecture. It shows how meetings or clashes of different cultural perspectives may arise, and attempts to identify a transcultural perspective, which would lead to the understanding that people of all cultures actually deal with the same basic tasks in life.
