This article reviews contemporary intercultural scholarship by examining published papers in 16 communication journals (5 of them were dedicated intercultural journals) between 2007 and 2018. The analysis found that the number of manuscripts published in 12 years (n = 191, or approximately 2.5% of 7452 published papers) on South Asian issues and populations is meager. Based on the reading of the intercultural manuscripts, this article identified eight key areas of scholarly attention, including acculturation and cultural adaptation, intercultural transitions, language and verbal communication, communication for social change, negotiation of identities, technology‐based communication, media and mediated communication, and new dynamics in the contemporary era. Later, this article talked about “silent zones” of contemporary intercultural scholarship—topics or areas that are under‐researched and then described potential pathways of future scholarship in imagining a more tolerant, just and equal South Asia.

在文化和交流上低估南亚：当代奖学金告诉我们的是什么

本文通过审查2007年至2018年间16种交流期刊（其中5种是专门的跨文化期刊）上发表的论文来审查当代跨文化奖学金。分析发现，在12年内发表的手稿数量（n = 191篇，约占有关南亚问题和人口的7452篇发表论文的2.5％）。在阅读跨文化手稿的基础上，本文确定了学术关注的八个关键领域，包括文化适应和文化适应，跨文化过渡，语言和言语交流，社会变革交流，身份协商，基于技术的交流，媒体和媒介交流和现代时代的新动力。后来，本文讨论了当代跨文化奖学金的“寂静地带”，即尚未得到充分研究的主题或领域，然后描述了未来的奖学金在构想一个更加宽容，公正和平等的南亚地区的潜在途径。
