Exploring Intercultural Differences between East and West throughout Cultural Dimensions and Literature

Ivana Pondelíková (Styková)

Résumé


The article explores intercultural differences between East and West throughout cultural dimensions and literature. Already existing sociological research is supplemented with literary one, thus creating a modern way of performing research in the field of interculture. Hofstede’s cultural dimensions became the basis of the presented research as well as literary texts originally written in English, whose plot is set in the selected Muslim countries (Iran and Afghanistan).
