  • Dilbert and Dogbert in the Information Age 79
    DILBERT AND DOGBERT IN THE INFORMATION AGE 79 Dilbert and Dogbert in the Information Age: Productivity, Corporate Culture, and Comic Art Karen Langlois California State Polytechnic University, Pomona In the cartoon strip of the same name, Dilbert, an engineer, contends with the complexities and challenges of technological change and corporate restruc- turing. The cartoon, a satire on modern corporate culture, criticizes the pervasive influence of the business efficiency movement known as Total Quality Management. The issue of productivity in the post-modern age holds particular relevance for educators at a time when institutions of higher learning seek to restructure themselves in the image of the modern corporation. Introduction In the past decade the cartoon strip Dilbert has become a phenomenon of popular culture. Created by cartoonist Scott Adams, it has become the fastest growing comic strip in America. Dilbert, the cartoon’s protagonist, is a naive, introverted engineer, toiling in the wasteland of American bureaucracy. His sardonic pet, Dogbert, is employed as a part-time management consultant. For the modern employee Dilbert and Dogbert have achieved the status of cultural icons. Confronted with the information revolution of the nineties, a transformation greater in scope than the industrial revolution, these new American (anti)heroes contend with the complexities and challenges of technological change and corporate restructuring. The identification of the public with the plight of the cartoon characters is evidenced by the craze for Dilbert and Dogbert merchandise. In addition to a television show and best selling books, Dilbert mania has created a market for Dilbert and Dogbert apparel, desk art, and dolls.

  • Aesop After Darwin: the Radical Anthropomorphism of the Far Side
    Aesop After Darwin: The Radical Anthropomorphism of The Far Side Aesop After Darwin: The Radical Anthropomorphism of "The Far Side" Paper given at the Popular Culture Association of the South, Knoxville, TN, October 1988 Whenever you observe an animal closely you feel as if a human being sitting inside were making fun of you. Elias Canetti, The Human Province Gary Larson is on sabbatical, taking a fourteen month break from cartooning in order to refuel his creativity. {Author's note, November 1996: Larson has, of course, now retired.} But even if he should never draw another cow or another nerd, his daily, one- frame comic strip "The Far Side" has already left its mark on American popular culture. For "The Far Side" has a devout following and, thanks to its frequent display on the office doors of both scientists and humanists, as well as the calendars, greeting cards, and coffee mugs spontaneously generated in its wake, Larson's cartoons have indeed become a prominent part of our cultural landscape. (In 1985 the California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco even mounted a full scale exhibit of over four hundred "Far Side" cartoons plus other related props.) Indeed, for many of us his imagination has forever shaped our perception of things: I, for one, will attest that "The Far Side" has fine tuned my own sixth sense of humor. Though decidedly modern, at the heart of much of Larson's bizarre humor lies an impulse as old as Aesop, to which the former biology major Larson gives a post-Darwinian twist.

  • Coordinated Management of Meaning (CMM)
    Confirming Pass Objective Interpretive CHAPTER ● 6 Socio-cultural tradition Phenomenological tradition Coordinated Management of Meaning (CMM) of W. Barnett Pearce & Vernon Cronen Barnett Pearce and Vernon Cronen bemoan the fact that most communication theorists and practitioners hold to a transmission model of communication. This model depicts a source that sends a message through a channel to one or more Transmission model receivers. Picturing communication as a transfer of meaning Source ➔ Message ➔ Channel ➔ Receiver by a source sending a message through a In this model, communication is considered successful to the extent that a high- channel to a receiver. fidelity version of the message gets through the channel and the receiver’s interpretation of it closely matches what the sender meant. People who picture communication this way tend to focus either on the message content or on what each party is thinking, but CMM says that they lose sight of the pattern of com- munication and what that pattern creates. Pearce, a communication professor at the Fielding Graduate Institute before he died in 2010, and Cronen (University of North Carolina Wilmington) would undoubtedly extend their critique to the def nition of communication we offer in Chapter 1. We suggested that communication is the relational process of creating and interpreting messages that elicit a response. What’s wrong with this description? Although the two theorists would appreciate our concern for relationship and response, they would note that our def nition continues to treat communication as merely a means of exchanging ideas. They’d say that our def nition looks through communication rather than directly at it.
