Communication has often been understood as a realm of
immaterial, insubstantial phenomena images, messages, thoughts,
languages, cultures, and ideologies mediating our embodied
experience of the concrete world. Communication Matters challenges
this view, assembling leading scholars in the fields of
Communication, Rhetoric, and English to focus on the materiality of
communication. Building on the work of materialist theorists such
as Gilles Deleuze, Michel Foucault, Friedrich Kittler, and Henri
Lefebvre, the essays collected here examine the materiality of
discourse itself and the constitutive force of communication in the
production of the real.
Communication Matters presents original work that rethinks
communication as material and situates materialist approaches to
communication within the broader "materiality turn" emerging in the
humanities and social sciences.
This collection will be of interest to researchers and
postgraduate students in Media, Communication Studies, and
Rhetoric.
The book includes images of the digital media installations of
Francesca Talenti, Professor, Department of Communication Studies,
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
