Theorizing Communication: Readings Across Traditions is the
first collection of primary-source readings built around seven
traditions of communication theory rhetorical, semiotic,
phenomenological, cybernetic, sociopsychological, sociocultural,
and critical.. The selected readings illustrate the history of each
tradition and current trends. Enhancing the readings are
introductory essays and sets of projects for theorizing through
which the editors highlight contemporary interpretations, new
directions, and/or hybrid approaches to studying communication
theory.
Key Features: "Includes key primary source readings that have
helped to define the field of Communication Theory: " This
collection of readings is not available elsewhere and frees
instructors from having to design their own course packs."Offers a
comprehensive view of communication theory by not limiting content
to a single approach: " This book is the first collection of
readings on communication theory based on Robert T. Craig s seven
traditions of communication theory. "Provides much more than just
readings: " Original introductions help to explain, locate, and
explore complexities surrounding each of the readings. The
concluding chapter suggests future directions for the field."Allows
students to engage and interact with each tradition: " Each unit
ends with suggested future readings as well as projects to help
students apply and extend the unit s key ideas.
Intended Audience:
This volume is designed for advanced undergraduate and graduate
courses in Communication Theory. It can be used as a stand-alone
text or in conjunction with other books."
