While new media have come to highlight certain aspects of transcultural communications, it is also apparent that migratory patterns and transcultural reception history have long been features of cultural interchange. The anthropological tendency to create “others” in distinction to one’s own identity has led to various attempts to engage in a power struggle for hegemonic cultural dominance. Yet simultaneously, migration patterns and cultural encounters of various kinds (trade, colonialism, reception history, war, new media, technological advances, ideas) have been present, in which different identities have come to collide, coalesce, infuse or transform each other.
