From the perspective of cultural studies, intercultural communication as a research subject has long since experienced a crisis of theory but has, at the same time, grown in social relevance. Dominic Busch reads the current research from a new perspective by understanding intercultural communication as a dispositive. This provides new insight into different descriptions of reputed cultural mode of action on social behavior. Busch presents an ethnomethodologically developed, dispositive-theory informed framework for future study of intercultural communication.
