Communication Theory Through the Ages presents communication theory
as a journey through history by way of asking engaged questions.
Encouraging intellectual vitality, the authors show students step
by step how theoretical ideas are interconnected and lead to an
increasingly complex understanding of communication. Students will
be motivated to ask questions as they encounter historical figures,
social events, and artifacts, resulting in a richer understanding
of the biographical, cultural, and social context for communication
theories.

Focusing on the scientific study of communication, this book is a
systematic examination. To that end, the natural, social, cultural,
and rational scientific perspectives on communication are presented
and then brought together in one unifying framework of the semiotic
square, showing how all four views are interconnected. The question
of whether the study of communication can be considered a unique
science is addressed. It is argued that communication is never
separate from any object of study and thus we always deal with its
manifestations, captured in the four scientific perspectives
discussed in the book.
A Communication Universe: Manifestations of Meaning, Stagings of
Significance presents a new theoretical understanding of
communication. Igor E. Klyukanov conceptualizes the process of
communication in terms of space and time, i.e., as a continuous
process of meaningful spatiotemporal transformation. He goes on to
examine four fundamental transformations and the four theoretical
perspectives on the nature of communication. From the first
perspective communication appears to be "pure space," then time
comes into play more and more actively, and from the fourth
perspective communication appears to be "pure time." Following the
fourth transformation communication is seen as returning back to
the first stage where it again appears as "pure space;" however,
now its reality contains all meanings created in the process of the
previous transformations. Based on these four transformations, the
process of communication is understood as a universe, meaning
"whole," "entire," "turned into one."
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.

In his famous classification of the sciences, Francis Bacon not
only catalogued those branches of knowledge that already existed in
his time, but also anticipated the new disciplines he believed
would emerge in the future: the "desirable sciences." Mikhail
Epstein echoes, in part, Bacon's vision and outlines the
"desirable" disciplines and methodologies that may emerge in the
humanities in response to the new realities of the twenty-first
century. Are the humanities a purely scholarly field, or should
they have some active, constructive supplement? We know that
technology serves as the practical extension of the natural
sciences, and politics as the extension of the social sciences.
Both technology and politics are designed to transform what their
respective disciplines study objectively.
The Transformative Humanities: A Manifesto addresses the question:
Is there any activity in the humanities that would correspond to
the transformative status of technology and politics? It argues
that we need a practical branch of the humanities which functions
similarly to technology and politics, but is specific to the
cultural domain.
