In this innovative and potentially controversial book, Penman
examines the future of communication as a discipline. She foresees
a time in which communicating is conceived as a social construction
process, in the anticipation that this will allow a genuine
practical response to contemporary social problems. The book sets
out a map toward accomplishing that future--laying the foundations
for a different way of conceiving of communication, enabling direct
action, rather than just theorizing about it. It begins with a
history illustrating how the communication discipline has arrived
to where it is today and then goes on to demonstrate Penman's
conception of communication. Reconstructing Communicating is an
exploration of what it means to inquire into communicating; to
treat communicating as the essential problematic of concern; and to
recognize that we construct our reality in our communicating. In
undertaking this exploration, the author pursues a central theme of
what constitutes good communicating and good communication
research. Arguments throughout this book provide a radical
departure from mainstream communication studies and especially from
the rationalist's quest for truth and scientific knowledge. A way
of acting in good faith is offered, both with the process of
communicating and with the participants in it, that generates
practical understandings for constructing new futures. Designed for
communication scholars and graduate students primarily in
organizational communication, public relations, and communication
theory, this book will also interest those in management and
business as it deals with practical communication issues.
