Abstract
[More than ever before, today one of the challenges for interaction design is the development of systems aiming to attend to the needs and expectations of people with different cultural and social backgrounds. The most widely used perspective in cross-cultural design is internationalization-localization. The result of internationalization and localization is to conceal or neutralize cultural differences among different user communities and contexts of use. We are, however, interested in another situation: one where the design intent is virtually the opposite, to expose and explore cultural diversity. This chapter presents and discusses Cultural Viewpoint Metaphors, an epistemic tool to support the elaboration and evaluation of metacommunicative discourse about cultural diversity.]
