The book explores the creative potential of misunderstanding in cross-cultural communication. The concept is studied from the perspective of translation studies, literary and cultural history, sociology. Misunderstanding is viewed as an elementary and unavoidable component of any verbal and cultural communication and a factor in artistic creation.

This book explores the covert and overt creative potential of misunderstanding. Viewed from the authors’ perspective, misunderstanding proves an elementary and unavoidable aspect of linguistic and cultural communication that can have a surprisingly beneficial impact on social relations and concomitantly stimulate the emergence of new cultural forms. As the authors of the book prove, cross-cultural contact is definitely a dynamic and asymmetric process rather than a static and symmetric transfer of values from one culture to another.
