For the past 55 years, the International Communication Association
(ICA) has provided a venue for scholars and researchers to share
ideas and findings in all aspects of the field of communication
through its expanding publications program and its annual
conference. The Association also works to increase visibility for
communication scholarship and to foster research internationally.
Communities are composed of connected individuals. The
communication that exists within, about, and between these
communities is at the heart of "Communication Yearbook 28." This
book draws from the broad range encompassed by the communication
discipline to review literature that has something to say about
community and what the communication discipline has to contribute
to understanding this human connection.
"Communication Yearbook 27" is devoted to publishing
state-of-the-art literature reviews in which authors critique and
synthesize a body of communication research. This volume continues
the tradition of publishing critical, integrative reviews of
specific lines of research. Chapters focus on an organizational
communication challenge to the discourse of work and family
research; recovering women's voice; empowerment and communication;
participatory communication for social change; and the problematics
of dialogue and power. In addition, chapters discuss the megaphone
effect; the effects of television on group vitality; the
empowerment of feminist scholarship in public relations and the
building of a feminist paradigm; control, resistance, and
empowerment in raced, gendered, and classed work contexts;
credibility for the 21st century; and communicating
disability.
For the past 55 years, the International Communication Association (ICA) has provided a venue for scholars and researchers to share ideas and findings in all aspects of the field of communication through its expanding publications program and its annual conference. The Association also works to increase visibility for communication scholarship and to foster research internationally. Communication Yearbook 29 centers on the theme of Communication and the Future. Authors in this volume address the future as they review 12 diverse areas of communication research. There have been many changes in the world, and this volume addresses questions such as: Has the discipline of communication kept up with change? Have we adapted to new technology and moved forward in our thinking? What do we as a discipline have to say about the future? Are there new areas in which we should be making a contribution? And are there new ways of looking at long-standing lines of communication research? The focus of this volume is on what we can do as communication scholars to make a difference in everyday life and in the future. Communication Yearbook 29 is an important reference for scholars and graduate students across the field of communication.

This book is an important reference on current research for scholars and students in the social sciences.

Interpersonal relationships are the core of our societal system and
have been since before the dawn of civilization. In today's world,
friends, lovers, companions, and confidants make valuable
contributions to our everyday lives. These are the relationships
whose members are not automatically participants as a result of
their birth and kin affiliations. The focus is on these
relationships that must be forged from the sometimes indifferent,
and sometimes hostile world. Yet, there is still much that is not
known about how these relationships evolve, how partners
communicate in on-going relationships, how people keep their
relationships together, and how they cope when they fall apart.
Primary to the focus of this book is the underlying theme of
evolving interpersonal relationships from the initial encounter to
the mature alliance.
