An Encyclopedia of Communication Ethics: Goods in Contention
complements existing communication ethics scholarship with an
examination of 103 scholars who explicitly and implicitly
contributed to our understanding of this crucial subject matter.
The purpose of this collection is to give an overview of key
figures whose work assists our understanding of the development and
influence of communication ethics. We selected voices on
communication ethics after considering an individual author's
contribution to the following coordinates: (1) dialectical and
dialogical engagement with other scholars and perspectives; (2) the
performative praxis of ethics in the interplay of theory and the
public domain; and (3) examination of the connection between
history and questions with a constitutive ethical theory offering a
connecting response. Dialogical and dialectical engagement,
performative praxis of ethics, and the intimate relationship
between historical moments and ethical reflection provide a
background for understanding author selection for this volume.

The contributors to this collection come from disparate fields such
as theology, literature studies, political science, and
communication studies and are guided by a commitment to consider
what we can learn from Camus as opposed to where he was wrong or
misguided in his life and writing. If there is a place to consider
the shortcomings of a human being, especially one as unique as
Albert Camus, it will not be found within this volume. The essays
in this text are built around the theme that Albert Camus functions
as an implicit philosopher of communication with deep ethical
commitments. The title, Creating Albert Camus, is intended to have
a double meaning. First are those voices who inspired Camus and
helped create his ideas; second are those scholars working with
Camus's thoughts during and after his life who help create his
enduring legacy. Bringing together scholars who embrace an
appreciation of the philosophy of communication provide an
opportunity to further situate the work of Camus within the
communication discipline. This new project explores the
communicative implications of Camus's work.
Communicative Understandings of Women's Leadership Development:
From Ceilings of Glass to Labyrinth Paths, edited by Elesha L.
Ruminski and Annette M. Holba, intertwines the disciplines of
communication studies, leadership studies, and women's studies to
offer theoretical and practical reflection about women's leadership
development in academic, organizational, and political contexts.
Women's leadership development exists at the intersection of
consciousness-raising, communication competence, and education to
increase one's knowledge and practice of "leadership," which makes
the weaving together of these three disciplines important. Thus,
Communicative Understandings of Women's Leadership Development
claims a space for women's leadership studies and acknowledges the
paradigmatic shift from discussing women's leadership using the
glass ceiling phenomenon to what Eagly and Carli (2007) identify as
the labyrinth of leadership. Recognizing this metaphoric shift is
crucial because many women now develop leadership amid the
postmodern flux of organizational change; hierarchical, top-down
systems are being eroded in lieu of transformational,
collaborative, even improvisational leadership processes. Women's
leadership studies is emerging as a fruitful interdisciplinary area
that reframes the debate about whether we live, work, and learn
within a third-wave feminist or post-feminist context. While this
area might include feminist theorizing, it also might not emphasize
such epistemologies. For this reason, Ruminski and Holba's edited
collection explores and highlights a variety of feminist and
non-feminist intersections, and is thus an important and timely
contribution to both marking where we are with women's leadership
development in higher education and how women can further develop
themselves as leaders.

The essays in this volume consider, in multiple ways, how
philosophies of communication and communication ethics can shape
and enhance human communication. Collectively, this book provides a
philosophical and pragmatic orientation to issues that involve
interpersonal and organizational communicative contexts from
marketplace, political, and feminist perspectives. Chapters explore
public attacks of schadenfreude, political communication,
communication in pedagogical settings, intercultural perspectives
of narrative and memory in communicative engagement, ethical public
relations practices, narrative ethics and the feminist voice, the
ethics of care, and the rhetorical consciousness of marketing.
Philosophies of Communication invites students to develop or
improve the critical thinking skills that in turn help them
negotiate deeper philosophical and ethical significances within
their everyday communicative encounters.
Our impressions of leisure today often involve rest, relaxation,
and freedom from work. These impressions are misguided if their
limits remain unchallenged. This book reveals the deep essence of
leisure by repositioning it as a philosophy of communication that
cultivates the mind/body. Fashioned after Calvin Schrag's The Self
after Postmodernity, this work explores leisure in discourse,
leisure in action, leisure in community, and leisure in
transcendence. By integrating the philosophies of Gadamer,
Merleau-Ponty, Arendt, Levinas, Pieper, and others, we can
illuminate the transformative nature of leisure and experience a
reawakening of the contemplative spirit in action.
In Philosophy of Communication Inquiry: An Introduction,
multidisciplinary scholar Annette M. Holba seamlessly connects
philosophical traditions with the communicative experience and
contemporary political, social, and cultural issues. The text
reinforces the position that philosophy of communication is not an
abstract concept, but rather rooted in real-life experiences. The
text features a unique approach that maps the application of key
concepts and theory to public moral argument. The book provides
readers with a comprehensive survey of the history of the ideas and
metaphors that guide philosophy of communication inquiry. The four
parts of the text provide students with foundational explorations
of the philosophical traditions, approaches, fundamental questions,
and emergent metaphors that guide philosophy of communication
inquiry. Each chapter and part conclude with a section titled
"Connections, Currency, Meaning," which ties the content to its
application in public moral argument. This provides students with
ample opportunities for meaningful debate and discourse.
Emphasizing its relevance in everyday life, Philosophy of
Communication Inquiry is ideal for courses in philosophy of
communication.
This book provides insight into the nature of the relationship
between dialogue and care. The work is textured and mindful of the
human need for authentic communication between embedded human
communicative agents. This is because the authors are well-versed
in the field, having published articles, books, and book chapters
dealing with the cultivation of human communication and human
relationships through aspects of care, dialogue, and other
philosophical preconditions. This study approaches the relationship
of care and dialogue through a constructive hermeneutic approach
situated within the current historical moment, while relying on a
rich and textured historical tradition of philosophical writings
that invite new discussion on the value of this relationship. In a
historical era of rapidly changing technologies, it is often easier
to text, twitter, and e-mail in a hypertext mode that fails to
acknowledge the dialogic potential in human relationships. This
book reminds us that even in these technologically sophisticated
times, we gain more in human relationships through care and
dialogue than in quick, instant communication. It is unique from
other books dealing with the relationship between dialogue and care
in human relationships because it integrates literature involving
communication ethics and philosophies of communication framed
around the metaphor of "care" to provide a more textured insight
related to human communication. The discussion is an alternative to
a social scientific approach. Readers will gain a thorough and
comprehensive understanding of the issue(s) involved from different
perspectives. Many other books on these matters are also
theoretically laden with deep philosophical concepts, but they are
often devoid of connections to everyday experiences which limits
application of the ideas. The authors address this by a text that
explores those philosophical and theoretically laden concepts
related to "care" in an applied manner, so that the practice of
these ideas is situated within actual human interaction. This study
provides an in-depth exploration specifically dealing with care as
a philosophical and ethical paradigm for living in the world. This
book is distinctive as it encompasses theorists/scholars from
multiple perspectives that include sociological, psychological,
philosophical, and from both social science and humanities
approaches; all of which come together within a communication
framework. The purpose of this book is to provide readers with the
opportunity to consider multiple ways of enhancing human
communication through discovering how the notion of "care" has the
ability to shape and guide communicative exchanges. Care is posited
as a philosophy of communication and more specifically as a
communicative ethic that can be embraced in interpersonal and
organizational communicative contexts. Our goal is to provide a
textured understanding of "care" as it relates to human
communication and as it is foregrounded in philosophical thought.
This text will help develop philosophical understanding of this
topic that is inescapably linked to human communication. This book
will interest all in communication, sociology, psychology, and
anthropology.
We've heard the rhyme: Lizzie Borden took an axe, And gave her
mother forty whacks, When she saw what she had done, She gave her
father forty-one. But what do we really know about this infamous
case of murder that occurred over one hundred years ago? Lizzie
Borden Took an Axe, or Did She? is a collection of essays, written
by a teacher-scholar (and a former Prosecutor's Detective), that
that explore various interesting questions that have virtually
remained unexplained for over one hundred years. What was Lizzie
Borden's sexual orientation? Why did Lizzie Borden change her name
after her public acquittal? What is the value of Edwin Porter's The
Fall River Tragedy then and now? What role did media and gender
play in this public spectacle? What was the relationship between
John Morse and Bridget Sullivan? These and other questions are
explored through rhetorical, narrative, and common sense theories
to help us critically engage this captivating case. Whether you are
reading this book for a class or reading it for fun outside of an
academic setting, this book was written to engage the story of
Lizzie Andrew Borden from refreshing new perspectives.
