 Interculturality is everywhere in society and organizations. The current issue, Communication & Organization 58, tries to explore the identity and cultural dynamics in an organizational communication context, together with power, change, preservation of statu quo issues. This critical position on the intercultural field breaks with standard approaches, based on taking into account mere national cultures differences opposite globalization (management ways, acculturation), to bring up an interculturality encompassing and widely exceeding the international dimension, applying to different levels of social and organizational structuring. From the CCO (Organization Constitutive Communication) point of view, the latter is formed and transformed through the interactions between people who are part of it, as they express their identities, their rivalries, the pressures they are undergoing. By referring to shared cultural knowledge, by negotiating, reshaping,  updating them through their everyday interactions, the protagonists thus create, maintain the organization that binds them. The articles included in this issue give the broad theoretical outline that a critical approach to interculturality in organization demands, illustrating the way that paradigm can be applied to case studies, as varied as concrete. They come in time to bring up to date the treatment of intercultural tensions in organizational communication within the French speaking literature.
