Chapter 1 Introduction : Critical Communities and Aesthetic Practices Francis Halsall , Julia Jansen , and Sinéad Murphy At the 2007 Venice Biennale, Sophie Calle fi lled the French Pavillon with responses, by more than 100 women, to a personal letter that had originally been addressed to her; an email, to be precise, with which a boyfriend informed her that he would leave her. ‘Take care of yourself,’ the email ends. This phrase became the title for the piece in which each participating woman responded to the email in her individual way and according to her profession. ‘Take Care of Yourself’ raises important questions and it challenges the expectations that are commonly brought to artworks. It also throws and interesting light on this book. Why would an artist make her own personal life public? Is it legitimate to turn the personal into art and to make art personal? Precisely four decades after Roland Barthes pronounced the death of the author, 1 can we allow Calle to be...

PREFACE FOR INSTRUCTORS If you’re already familiar with A First Look at Communication Theory and understand the approach, organization, and main features of the book, you may want to jump ahead to the “Major Changes in the Eighth Edition” section. For those who are new to the text, reading the entire preface will give you a good grasp of what you and your students can expect. Balanced Approach to Theory Selection. I’ve written A First Look for students who have no background in communication theory. It’s designed for undergraduates enrolled in an entry-level course, regardless of the students’ classifi cation. The trend in the fi eld is to offer students a broad introduction to theory relatively early in their program. But if a department chooses to offer its fi rst theory course on the junior or senior level, the course will still be the students’ fi rst comprehensive look at theory, so the book will meet them where they are. The aim of the text is to present 32 specifi c theor...

Introduction Haveyou ever thought about how much time you spend talking with friends and family, listening to the radio, watching TV, and surfing the Web? If you add it all up, you’ll quickly realize that communication is the most important activity in your day. Good communication is what helps you influence others, build relationships, and make sense of the world around you. Just as communication is important to you, it is critical to the health of communities. In fact it is the very foundation of society. Without it, we could not help and entertain each other, share information, or build networks. Thanks to technology, our ability to communicate has evolved beyond the mere interpersonal level. We send words, sounds, images, and moving pictures over the air (radio/telephone/television/microwaves), on hard copy through printed material, over the Internet with cables and airwaves, and out into space and back (satellites). People pursue communications and arts careers for a variet...

Everyday Life and Cultural Theory ‘Ben Highmore’s engaging and readable study of how modern and contemporary theories have defined and examined everyday life provides a lens for students and scholars alike through which to examine a central issue in cultural studies and social thought.’Ivan Karp, Emory University ‘Highmore has produced a valuable resource for teachers in all the disciplines that are concerned with the study of culture. He addresses the key thinkers who have defined the major variants of this crucial construct of cultural theory, and he has done so both accessibly and brilliantly.’ George Marcus, Rice University Everyday Life and Cultural Theory provides a unique critical and historical introduction to theories of everyday life. Ben Highmore traces the development of conceptions of everyday life from the cultural sociology of Georg Simmel, through the Mass-Observation project of the 1930s to contemporary theorists such as Michel de Certeau. Individual chapt...

Introduction How technology affects human interaction Elly A. Konijn, Sonja Utz, Martin Tanis, and Susan B. Barnes Communicating with friends and family members via the (cell) phone or  email, working in a virtual team, seeking a partner on an online dating site, looking for support in an online social support group, interacting with an automated speech system while booking a flight, getting help from an avatar while visiting an online store, watching “Sex and the City,” and perceiving the girls as friends, or spending some time in Second Life—activities like these have become part of everyday life for many people. A great deal of interpersonal communication is now mediated by technology, but computer-mediated technologies (e.g., sms, chat rooms, msn, email, virtual group work, weblogs, mobile social software) can sometimes facilitate or impede communication and can alter interpersonal interactions. The primary focus of this edited volume, Mediated Interpersonal Co...
