The book focuses on decolonizing dialogue through the lens of communication, design and art and
will use a critical and socially engaged lens. Its approach is extradisciplinary and it connects theory
and practice. It will examine dialogue in the current times, which are largely defined by neoliberal
capitalism, develop a critique and show alternative potentials for dialogue in practice. Especially it
will develop a framework of radical intimacies in relation to dialogue. How can we decolonize
dialogue today and what are the specifics of communication, design and art in relation to it?
