In 1999, Robert T. Craig published the article "Communication
theory as a field" and argued that the field of communication
theory ought to be viewed as a practical discipline. In Practicing
Communication Theory: Exploring, Applying, and Teaching the
Constitutive Metamodel, editors Marc Howard Rich and Jessica S.
Robles expand upon Craig's seminal contribution by assembling
diverse and learned voices of international communication scholars
to explore the practical, theoretical, and pedagogical implications
of Craig's work. The chapters demonstrate how communication is
practiced in the world and how scholars have incorporated Craig's
theories into the classroom. Contributors share their experiences
redefining, reworking, and complicating traditions of
communication. Additional chapters focus on the international
community and explore ways communication theory is practiced
worldwide. The closing chapter, written by Craig, responds to the
various perspectives presented throughout the book and provides new
ideas and insight to further contribute to ongoing conversations
about practicing communication theory. Demonstrating the practical
nature of the communication discipline, Practicing Communication
Theory is an excellent book for scholars in the field and for
graduate courses in communication theory.
This engaging text explores how everyday talk--the ordinary kinds
of communicating that people do in schools, workplaces, and among
family and friends--expresses who we are and who we want to be. The
authors interweave rhetorical and cultural perspectives on the
"little stuff" of conversation: what we say and how we say it, the
terms used to refer to others, the content and style of stories we
tell, and more. Numerous detailed examples show how talk is the
vehicle through which people build relationships. Students gain
skills for thinking more deeply about their own and others'
communicative practices, and for understanding and managing
interactional difficulties. New to This Edition *Updated throughout
