Networking Communications

What is a Communication Theory class like?

I’m taking my first communication studies class next semsester so I wad wondering what I could expect this type of course to be like. I may do a Communication studies minor if I like this class

Well considering I probably don’t go to thesame school as you, our classes might be a little different than yours. In our communications class, it was mostly about effective speaking, etiquette (eye contact, ect), speechmaking, interview skills, writing, resume skills, and a bunch of other things. For the final, we had to present a topic of our choice (could be anything, somebody even chose CocaCola). Another project we did was sending a letter to a famous person (again, could be anyone – George Lucas, Micheal jordan, famous actor, ect.) and ask for them to provide a signature and photo. You were graded on the effectiveness of your letter, but not on whether they replied or not. (considering that is completely by chance). There will probably be some variations between your communication class and ours, but this is mostly a second-hand account. If you really want to find out what yours could be like, find someone that took the class before, and ask them about it and whats it like. I’m sure a bunch of people took it in your school!

Intercultural Communication Theory $56.97 Published in cooperation with the Speech Communication Association Division on International and Intercultural Communication Comprehensive and far-reaching, Intercultural Communication Theory brings together current theories on this important and ever-growing area: intercultural communication. The text advances some of the work from previous International and Intercultural Communication Annuals and also introduces new theoretical developments. These diverse explanatory approaches offer guidelines for investigating the complex phenomenon of intercultural communication. The theories in this text range in their approach, from systems theory to ethnographic analyses, and focus on a range of intercultural theories, from accommodation theory to cultural intolerance. Part I provides an overview of the role of theory in intercultural communication research. Part II includes theories on intercultural communication competence and adaptation, and Part III focuses on specific contexts for intercultural communication, such as health and small groups. Continuing the series tradition, Intercultural Communication Theory is of great importance to scholars and students in interpersonal, speech, intercultural, and organizational communication as well as ethnic studies.

Shepherd, Jeffrey St. John, and Ted Striphas bring together a collection of 27 essays that explores the wide range of theorizing about communication, cutting across all lines of traditional division in the field. The essays in this text are written by leading scholars in the field of communication theory, with each scholar employing a particular stance or perspective on what communication theory is and how it functions. In essays that are brief, argumentative, and forceful, the scholars propose their perspective as a primary or essential way of viewing communication with decided benefits over other views.

Organizational Communication: Theory and Practice $4.48 Organizational Communication, 2/e, presents both traditional and contemporary theories of organization from a communication perspective.

Science Communication in Theory and Practice $60.7 This book provides an overview of the theory and practice of science communication. It covers the whole area and illustrates it by looking at the experience of research workers in science communication and those whose task is to put science communication into practice. It deals with modes of informal communication such as science centres, television programs, and journalism and the research that informs practitioners about the effectiveness of their programs. It aims to meet the needs of those studying science communication as well as the increasing numbers of people who are employed in science centres and museums but have no formal training in this field. It is envisaged that the book will form a readily accessible source of expertise for communicators.

Communication, Media, and Identity: A Christian Theory of Communication $56.91 Communication, Media, and Identity: A Christian Theory of Communication is the first comprehensive theoretical look at the nature of communication from a biblical Christian perspective. This groundbreaking new work discusses the implications of such a theory for interpersonal relations, use of media, and the development of digital culture in the wake of the computer. It also draws widely from the literature of the secular world, critiquing perspectives where necessary and adopting perspectives that are in line with Christian anthropology, epistemology, and ontology. As the newest book in the Communication, Culture, and Religion Series, Robert Fortner’s work illuminates the theological aspects of communication.

Optical Communication Theory and Techniques $169 This book is a collection of papers dealing with the theoretical aspects of optical communications.

He concludes with suggestions for further work and discussion plus an up-to-date bibliography, making this an excellent introduction for students of communication.

Using Communication Theory: An Introduction to Planned Communication $37.96 "There is nothing so practical as a good theory" – Kurt Lewin What does theory have to do with the practice of communication? Communication planning is used daily by thousands of people: public relations practitioners, technical writers, information campaigners, advertising professionals, organization consultants, educators, health communicators and more. Without a solid understanding of communication theory, practitioners have difficulty getting their messages heard though all the noise. The second edition of this best-selling textbook has been updated with the student firmly in mind. With extensive new learning features that directly engage with the practical side of theory, students will: " Practice what they learn with activities and exercises " Apply their own experiences to theory through prompts to reflection " Consolidate their learning with highlighted definitions and lists of key terms " Take it further with boxed excerpts from classic texts. Showing how theories relate directly to the practice and experience of planning effective communication, Using Communication Theory provides indispensable insights into the practical nature of communication theory. In today’s landscape of communication overload, this book remains an essential, authoritative guide for both students and practitioners.

Theory and Research in Mass Communication $5.98 This updated edition presents a civic journalism treatment of the field of mass communication research. The "sine qua non" of the civic journalism movement seems to center around an implicit assumption that the human mind is an evolved part in the natural world, not a detached spectator as much traditional philosophy assumes. Thus, it has attempted to encourage journalists and members of their audiences to participate actively in civic life. Applying the same idea to mass communication academics, this book focuses on the empirical consequences of their work, especially its possible impact on human life. It argues that researchers need to connect with the broader communities in which they live and considers the impact of media research on society. Features of the second edition include: *detailed update of research evidence concerning the media violence issue; *additional material concerning media ownership structures and their possible relationship to media content and effects; *new material focusing on the impact of tobacco and alcohol advertising; *updated and expanded section concerning the history of media studies; and *an expanded discussion of philosophical issues pertaining to theory construction. This book is intended for graduate and advanced undergraduate students studying mass communication theory and related subjects, such as communication theory, media effects, media literacy, and media and society.

Political Communication and Social Theory $42.95 Suitable for students and scholars of political communication and mass media in democracies, this book challenges the traditional scholarship on various issues such as: comparative political and media systems; theories of democracy, representation and the public sphere; and, political party communication, marketing and elections.

Communication Theory: Epistemological Foundations $51.18 This book provides a thorough analysis of the scientific, critical, and cultural questions at the foundation of theory-building in communication and other social sciences. Any claim to knowledge, the author explains, can be analyzed in terms of a series of characteristics: the object of its explanation, the explanatory form and evidentiary method employed, its characteristic explanations, the scope of its performance, and its consequences of value. From identifying basic epistemological questions to exploring the impact of the "knowledge industry" on society, the volume offers readers the analytical tools to understand, compare, and evaluate theories and their use both inside and outside the classroom. The book also includes a systematic analysis of communication’s most influential theories and traces their genealogies across different content fields and disciplines.

Communication Theory: Media, Technology and Society $101.33 This book offers an introduction to communication theory that is appropriate to our post-broadcast, interactive media environment. The author contrasts the ‘first media age’ of broadcast with the ’second media age’ of interactivity. Communication Theory argues that the different kinds of communication dynamics found in cyberspace demand a reassessment of the methodologies used to explore media, as well as new understandings of the concepts of interaction and community (virtual communities and broadcast communities).

Action Theory and Communication Research $131.6 The action theoretical approach has already proved its value as a framework for communication research, most especially in the study of media audiences and media use. The approach privileges the perspective of the acting individual but offers guidelines for connecting the subjective orientation with networks of social interaction and for treating 'behaviour' as a social process. Research within this framework takes account of the wider social context and calls for a careful combination of empirical observation and interpretation, with a corresponding diversity of methodologies. The contributions to the volume shed light on the significance of media use in everyday experience and contribute to an understanding of communication in society.

A Simple Luhmann Economy $83.83 The idea behind a simple Luhmann economy is a prototypical agent based model of a market as characterized by Niklas Luhmann in his publications about the economic function system of modern society. In line with sociological systems theory the cohesive or topological structure of communication (i.e. one communicative act – many understanding observers) is analysed. Niklas Luhmann’’s proposition, that the economy starts from and produces further inequality in order to continue could be reproduced by computer simulation. Together with the introduction of a formal notation for basic elements of Niklas Luhmann’’s theory this work tries to open a path for further exploration of sociological systems theory by computational methods.
