Abstract

Cross-cultural interaction is carried out in accordance with a two-level structure of communication. The dialogue of physically autonomous communicators is conducted within the autodialogical process, in the structure of figurative-symbolic notions of the communicating individuals. In the absence of interpersonal dialogue, but when the Other is being observed, the cross-cultural dialogue is initiated at the auto-communicative, intrapersonal level. Outside of interpersonal communication, conflict over unacceptable cultural strategies can be triggered by their effect on the recipient’s symbolic notions only due to observation of alien cultural manifestations.
