Abstract

ABSTRACT Drawing on VR affordances and its relevant discourse of embodiment, immersion and engagement, Indigenous Futurisms (IF) challenges mainstream stereotypes of indigenous cultures. This article explores how the VR movie Crow: The Legend mediates an intercultural experience of IF. The framework proposed for understanding the virtually-mediated IF intercultural experience is grounded in the integration of SF-MDA and postphenomenology. The suggested theoretical integration interprets the VR embodied affordances of navigation, body movement, and hand gestures. The dialogue established in Crow between the interactants and VR technology unravels the cultural particularities of futurisms' notions of ‘non-linear temporality,' ‘selfdetermination,' ‘self-discovery,' ‘selflessness' and ‘diversity’.

本土未来主义4D中的化身:跨文化相遇的间接性

摘要土著未来主义（IF）利用虚拟现实的可供性及其体现、沉浸和参与的相关话语，挑战了主流对土著文化的刻板印象。本文探讨了虚拟现实电影《乌鸦：传说》如何介导中频的跨文化体验，提出了理解虚拟介导中频跨文化体验的框架，该框架是基于SF-MDA和后现象学的融合。所建议的理论整合解释了VR所体现的导航、身体运动和手势的启示。在克劳，互动者和VR技术之间建立的对话揭示了未来主义“非线性时间性”、“自决”、“自我发现”、“无私”和“多样性”概念的文化特质。

期刊介绍： Language & Intercultural Communication promotes an interdisciplinary understanding of the interplay between language and intercultural communication. It therefore welcomes research into intercultural communication, particularly where it explores the importance of linguistic aspects; and research into language, especially the learning of foreign languages, where it explores the importance of intercultural perspectives. The journal is alert to the implications for education, especially higher education, and for language learning and teaching. It is also receptive to research on the frontiers between languages and cultures, and on the implications of linguistic and intercultural issues for the world of work.
