Communication and Human Rights - Towards Communicative Justice (Paperback): Cees J. Hamelink Communication and Human Rights - Towards Communicative Justice (Paperback)
Cees J. Hamelink
R578 Discovery Miles 5 780 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Human rights and communication are deeply connected: human rights need communication to expose violations and to offer platforms for dialogue, while communication needs human rights to provide standards for free speech and confidentiality. Together, they confront the reality of today’s social and international order in which justice and understanding often seem unattainable. In this book, Cees J. Hamelink guides the reader through the historical evolution of communication and human rights. In this original framework, he discusses topics such as the right to communicate and freedom of expression, as well as major challenges posed by the environmental crisis and digital technologies. With authority, he passionately argues that ‘communicative justice’ is the ultimate goal of applying the international human rights regime to different forms of communication. This goal can only be achieved if we manage to move from the prevailing ‘thin’ liberal conception of human rights to a ‘thick’ cosmopolitan conception of them. Written by one of the world’s leading scholars in this area, this wide-ranging book will be of interest to students of media and communication, human rights scholars, as well as practitioners, activists and anyone interested in applying the notion of justice to the basis of human existence: communication.

Communication and Peace - Celebrating Moments of Sheer Human Togetherness (Paperback, 1st ed. 2020): Cees J. Hamelink Communication and Peace - Celebrating Moments of Sheer Human Togetherness (Paperback, 1st ed. 2020)
Cees J. Hamelink
R1,557 Discovery Miles 15 570 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This book provides a robust conceptualization of peace. Hamelink defines peace as conceived of moments of celebrating human togetherness, with deep fractures that polarize society standing in the way of collectively celebrating togetherness and posing a serious existential risk to humanity. 'Deep dialogue' is the form of human cooperative communication that is needed to build communities that can overcome polarization. This is the most difficult form of human conversation as it is based upon trust, mutuality, patience and freedom, and requires safe, non-threatening spaces, but this book explains how to overcome the essential obstacles that prevent this dialogue. To curate a 'deep dialogue' we must turn to humanity's unique resource: our ability to communicate pro-socially and cooperatively.

The Technology Gamble - Informatics and Public Policy-A Study of Technological Choice (Hardcover): Cees J. Hamelink The Technology Gamble - Informatics and Public Policy-A Study of Technological Choice (Hardcover)
Cees J. Hamelink
R2,194 Discovery Miles 21 940 Ships in 9 - 15 working days

This volume concerns decision making in informatics and is suitable as a basic introduction to the field--the technology, the industry, the applications, and the key issues. It deals with the critical question of how to make choices in this rapidly expanding and pervasive field. The author suggests that to date there have not been any valid methods to assess the future social impact of technological development. Therefore, this volume puts forth a new descriptive and normative model of technological choice and offers a critical analysis of efforts to improve decision making through technological assessment or risk analysis.

R3,908 Discovery Miles 39 080 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

The Media Globe is a multifaceted look at contemporary trends in media practices in regions beyond the United States, including Africa, Asia, Europe, the Middle East, Latin America, and Australia. A diverse group of respected scholars follows the emerging patterns in a variety of media worldwide, identifying the existing and developing issues and the potential impacts on democratic communication. They also assess the current tensions between ongoing global media practices and local or regional cultural norms. Using theoretical approaches such as 'glocalization,' hybridity, hegemony, cultural imperialism, and world-systems theory, the authors consider alternative scenarios for global communication that could better mesh with these cultural norms and practices. Given the rapid global consolidation of media and the resulting reform of its regulatory agencies, this reassessment is a timely and important read.
