Winner of the National Communication Association 2018 Philosophy of
Communication Division Top Edited Book Award This edited volume
develops the philosophy of communication inspired by the
scholarship of Richard L. Lanigan, with emphasis on communicology
as a human science. Lanigan's syntheses of the philosophies of
speech, language and discourse stemming from the works of Edmund
Husserl, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Michel Foucault, Julia Kristeva,
Charles Sanders Peirce, Roman Jakobson, Umberto Eco, Pierre
Bourdieu, Jurgen Reusch and Gregory Bateson, and many others offers
a compelling framework for systematic analysis of human
communication in all domains of lived experience. His work defines
the theory and method of the human sciences in general and the
discipline of communicology in particular. The focus in this
collection is on the theoretical and methodological foundations for
semiotic phenomenology whereby communication is recognized as
constitutive of all human conscious experience and social
relationships, involving gestural, nonverbal, discursive,
performative, artistic, poetic and mass mediated forms. The volume
is divided into five thematic sections: Founding(s), which marks
out primary influences on communicology conceived as a human
science; Tropologic(s), which reveals how abduction, adduction and
semiosis are essential for understanding human conduct in multiple
forms of expression; Trans/formations, which addresses problems of
change in self-other relations advancing an ethical life; Voicing
Bodies/Embodied Voices, which elaborates the reversible relations
between body and voice, and voice and world; and Horizons of
Communicability, which takes up operative intentionalities that
typically escape human conscious experience. All chapters are
original to this volume, written by leading international scholars
in the philosophy of communication who cross several disciplinary
boundaries in the human sciences.

"Before you fight the war, you must first win the battle." Most of
our lives we've done things backwards. And even now, we continue on
that same path. We submit to what others want us to do, instead of
doing what God wants us to do. And in that, we have been caught up,
held down, captured and betrayed. We've surrendered our lives to
the Enemy and our hopes to shame. Wars consists of many previous
ongoing battles. And if we are honest, we would admit that our
present burdens were brought on by ongoing unsolved simple
situations. Not simple in nature, but simple in its' approach to be
solved. With many life changing experiences and divine help from
God, Andrews R. Smith guides us through many of our past and
present struggles, teaching us how to defeat our opponent the
flesh. His writings are humorous, insightful and life changing.
Dive into your life with this book and come out refreshed and
victorious!!!
Radical Conflict addresses conflict at interpersonal and communal,
legal and rhetorical, ethnopolitical, global, and geopolitical
levels. The conflicts analyzed are "radical" because in each some
intense and often prolonged violence takes place. The chapters
address different kinds of violence(s)-physical and gratuitous,
structural and socio-economic, legal and symbolic, all with
significant ill effects and injustices that spiral in all
directions. All share an interest in exploring imaginatively and
speculatively what can be done to attenuate such cycles of
violence. The volume analyzes how recurrent narratives,
mythologies, media(ted) constructions and other discourse(s) of
liberal democratic and authoritarian states play a significant role
in exacerbating or thwarting violence, exposing, escalating,
legitimizing, rationalizing, propagating, but also possibly
mitigating violence in all of its forms. Each contributor provides
a critical interpretation of the status of the conflict under
inquiry, including: a teacher verbally abusing and ridiculing a
student then exposing it in social media; a community torn apart by
environmental disaster; the incommensurate but not incommensurable
conflict between Israelis and Palestinians; the Muslim Brotherhood
and the militarized state(s) of Egypt and Libya; urban discourses
in cyberspace among Moroccan and Maghreb youth that have become
counter-signifying publics against oppression of the state; the
role of media and violence in Zimbabwe's political struggle; the
impact of the Circassian diaspora in global politics especially in
the United States; India's soft power approach to the Kashmir
conflict as a way to capitalize on it through tourism; the
agonistic discourses that pervade the conflict over the Sahara and
deprive Sahrawi people of rights; and how the liberal state is
implicated in the gratuitous violence of ISIL. The volume also
offers a section on the rhetoric of exclusionary laws associated
with intractable conflicts of the abortion conflict, the right to
die controversy, and a Burkean perspective on violence in
Bangladesh. Contributors suggest what can be done conceptually and
politically to mitigate and end violations of those who are most
vulnerable, banished, forgotten, damaged, and often silenced.
