Prerequisites
The subject of Intercultural Communication is Found within the area of Theory, History and Structure of communication, forming part of the mention in Analysis and Planning of the Communication.
Objectives and Contextualisation
The subject of intercultural communication aims to make the student aware of interpersonal and intergroup relationships within the intercultural media situation derived from globalization, which has acquired a series of critical tools to analyze this geopolitical situation that determines intercultural communication, which practice a new methodology of analysis of this hybrid society and that it acquires a critical vision on the relations that are established between people, groups and institutions that based on socioculturalally diverse experiences, speeches and representations, establish intercultural communication networks where they develop dialogue or rejection , the agreement or confrontation, exchange of experiences or rejection of others.
Intercultural communication, overcoming the ethnocentric vision that practiced the analysis of classical communication networks, explains the complex and dynamic social relationships that are developed at an interpersonal and collective level determined by very different social and political contexts, in an accelerated globalization process.
We will show that cultures are not homogeneous or static beings, but hybrid and dynamic. We will show that cultures do not engage in dialogue with each other, but the subjects that compose them (individual or collective) are those who end up debating or confronting themselves. This study will be done from an interdisciplinary perspective as a transversal vector of intercultural communication.
Multicultural vision requires a different analysis methodology in which the supposed or imagined identities are dissected to discover the qualifying and exclusive systems that are found in its constitution. They identify the exclusion and inclusion of people and groups within groups and people who can 'speak' and manage communication or who are silent and silenced by political and media means and powers.

The competences of this subject will be evaluated through the evaluation systems: a) Oral and written exams (test-type tests, open-ended or development questions,); b) Works (resolution of exercises, research papers, articles and essays, collaboratives, portfolio and reflective diaries); c) Assessment of the quality of student interventions in seminars.
The works of the course or the exam that have more than 5 misspellings and / or grammatical structure will be suspended.
