This book takes the form of a dialogue. It presents two authors,
specialized in the phenomenolog , posing questions to each other
and offering complex answers for critical discussion. The book
includes both presentation of different communication schools and
philosophizing on the issues of communication. The authors debate
numerous topics by providing the definition and etymology of
communication, examining the limits of communication, and using a
poli-logical base of communication. The issue which pervades all
domains is that of mediation: how things, such as identities,
styles, and bodies are mediated by culture, history, and tradition,
and what the limits are of such mediation. This question leads to
more complex issues of "mediated mediations" such that an
explication of one medium is framed by another medium, leading to a
question of meta-language as a fundamental, unmediated medium. This
involves some fine points of mediation: perspectivity,
discursivity, ethics of communication, ideology, private and
public. Throughout the mutual, interrogative dialogue, the authors
touch upon, but avoid the daunting commitment to, a theory of
metacommunication, as well as the "transcendental" problematic of
accessing the numerous theoretical, thematic, and historical
aspects of communication.
