As an introductory remark, the exploration unfolds through a poem written by Dr Mary-Jean Chan, a Senior Lecturer at Oxford Brookes University. She recreates a scene of misunderstanding incurred by cultural differences through a daily conversation. Her poem opens up the topic of cross-cultural mistranslation and individual identity displacement.
