This volume advocates a shift from the social constructivism found
in the work of Thomas Luckmann and Peter Berger, to a communicative
constructivism that acknowledges communication as an embodied form
of action in its own right, according to which social actors, in
engaging in communicative action, construct a material social
reality that guides, delimits, and enables actions. A study of the
importance of understanding the role of communication in an age in
which digitization and mediatization have extended the reach of
communication to a global level and brought about the emergence of
the communication society, The Communicative Construction of
Reality shows how communication society does not merely replace
modern society and its hierarchical institutions, but complements
it in a manner that continually results in conflicts leading to the
refiguration of society. As such, it will appeal to scholars of
sociology with interests in the sociology of knowledge,
communication, and social theory.
