520 # # |a A Journey Through Cultures addresses one of the hottest topics in contemporary HCI: cultural diversity amongst users. For a number of years the HCI community has been investigating alternatives to enhance the design of cross-cultural systems. Most contributions to date have followed either a <U+0018>design for each<U+0019> or a <U+0018>design for all<U+0019> strategy. A Journey Through Cultures takes a very different approach. Proponents of CVM <U+0013> the Cultural Viewpoint Metaphors perspective <U+0013> the authors invite HCI practitioners to think of how to expose and communicate the idea of cultural diversity. A detailed case study is included which assesses the metaphors<U+0019> potential in cross-cultural design and evaluation. The results show that cultural viewpoint metaphors have strong epistemic power, leveraged by a combination of theoretic foundations coming from Anthropology, Semiotics and the authors<U+0019> own work in HCI and Semiotic Engineering.
