Further Notes on Why American Sociology Abandoned Mass Communication Research Abstract Communication research seems to be flourishing, as vidente in the number of universities offering degrees in communication, number of students enrolled, number of journals, and so on. The field is interdisciplinary and embraces various combinations of former schools of journalism, schools of speech (Midwest for ‘‘rhetoric’’), and programs in sociology and political science. The field is linked to law, to schools of business and health, to cinema studies, and, increasingly, to humanistically oriented programs of so-called cultural studies. All this, in spite of having been prematurely pronounced dead, or bankrupt, by some of its founders. Sociologists once occupied a prominent place in the study of communication— both in pioneering departments of sociology and as founding members of the interdisciplinary teams that constituted departments and schools of communication. In the intervening years, we daresay that media research has attracted rather little attention in mainstream sociology and, as for departments of communication, a generation of scholars brought up on interdisciplinarity has lost touch with the disciplines from which their teachers were recruited.

Course Description From TCU’s course catalog: Applies communication theory and practice to a broad range of communication phenomena in intrapersonal, interpersonal and public communication settings. You are about to embark on an exciting adventure through the world of communication theory. In some sense, you already inhabit this “world”—you communicate every day, and you may even be very good at it. But, if you’re like me, sometimes you might find yourself wondering: Why did she say that? Why did I say that in response? What there something that I could have said that would have been better? How could I communicate better with my friends? My parents? At school? At work? If you’ve ever asked any of these questions—and it would be hard for me to believe that there is anyone who hasn’t!—then this course is for you! By the end of our time together, I hope you will come to a deeper, fuller understanding of the power and mystery of human communication.

  • Critical Communication History
    International Journal of Communication 7 (2013), 1912–1919 1932–8036/20130005 Looking Back, Moving Forward: Critical Communication History Editorial Introduction D. TRAVERS SCOTT Clemson University DEVON POWERS Drexel University In May 2012, the Communication History Interest Group sponsored a preconference at the International Communication Association (ICA) gathering in Phoenix, Arizona. That preconference, entitled Historiography as Intervention, was an effort to extend the flourishing interest in the history of our field by bringing together scholars whose work raised provocative questions pertaining to historical methods and subjects. As the preconference’s organizers, we have collected representative essays delivered that day, with a few additions, in an attempt to ensure that the most useful conversations of that session remain lively in its aftermath. In a way, this section presents a record of the preconference’s history, but it also attempts to point to fruitful directions forward for historical research in our field. We believe it is an auspicious and fitting time for this work, especially given that, less than a year after that ICA preconference, Communication History became an official ICA Division. The title of this special section, “Critical Communication History,” is meant to underscore the agency we ascribe to the scholarship featured here. These contributions are bound together by a common drive to use history to re-envision the purpose, scope, and destiny of the history of communication as a subfield of study. Our field has reached a crucial moment of resolution—one we might even consider calling a “historiographic turn.” As such, communication historians have a new, expanded role to play in establishing a shared past that is not only able to stitch the diverse facets of communication more decidedly together with one another, but also elastic enough to accommodate the range of approaches, subject areas, and questions that have made communication such a rich and vital discipline.

  • Politeness and Language Penelope Brown, Max Planck Institute of Psycholinguistics, Nijmegen, the Netherlands
    Politeness and Language Penelope Brown, Max Planck Institute of Psycholinguistics, Nijmegen, The Netherlands Ó 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved. Abstract This article assesses the advantages and limitations of three different approaches to the analysis of politeness in language: politeness as social rules, politeness as adherence to an expanded set of Gricean Maxims, and politeness as strategic attention to ‘face.’ It argues that only the last can account for the observable commonalities in polite expressions across diverse languages and cultures, and positions the analysis of politeness as strategic attention to face in the modern context of attention to the evolutionary origins and nature of human cooperation.

  • Choosing Between Communication Studies and Film Studies
    Choosing Between Communication Studies and Film Studies Many students with an interest in media arts come to UNCW. They often struggle with whether to major in Communication Studies (COM) or Film Studies (FST). This brief position statement is designed to help in that decision. Common Ground Both programs have at least three things in common. First, they share a common set of technologies and software. Both shoot projects in digital video. Both use Adobe Creative Suite for manipulation of digital images, in particular, Adobe Premiere for video editing. Second, they both address the genre of documentaries. Documentaries blend the interests of both “news” and “narrative” in compelling ways and consequently are of interest to both departments. Finally, both departments are “studies” departments: Communication Studies and Film Studies. Those labels indicate that issues such as history, criticism and theories matter and form the context for the study of any particular skills. Neither department is attempting to compete with Full Sail or other technical training institutes. Critical thinking and application of theory to practice are critical to success in FST and COM. Communication Studies The primary purposes for the majority of video projects are to inform and persuade. Creativity and artistry are encouraged within a wide variety of client- centered and audience-centered production genres. With rare exception, projects are approached with the goal of local or regional broadcast. Many projects are service learning oriented such as creating productions for area non-profit organizations. Students will create public service announcements (PSA), news and sports programming, interview and entertainment prog- rams, training videos, short form documentaries and informational and promotional videos.

  • Communication Studies Associate in Arts for Transfer
    COMMUNICATION STUDIES ASSOCIATE IN ARTS FOR TRANSFER The Communication Studies major analyzes processes of communication, commonly defined as the sharing of symbols over distances in space and time. Hence, communication studies encompasses a wide range of topics and contexts ranging from face-to-face conversation to public speeches to mass media outlets such as television broadcasting and film studies. Communication Studies, as a discipline, is also interested in how audiences interpret information from the political, cultural, economic, and social dimensions of speech and language. There are many areas of specialization offered within the Communication Studies majors including Advertising, Public Relations, Journalism, Digital Media, Organizational Communication, Intercultural Communication, Interpersonal Communication, Rhetoric, and Media Studies. Studying communication will also enhance any career, but a few specific careers include business, public relations, human resources, law [after law school], advertising arts, teaching, social services, human services, and entertainment industries are all suited for graduates with a Communication Studies degree. Finally, students who are interested in the field of Communication Studies but do not wish to complete a Baccalaureate degree in the discipline may pursue a terminal two-year course of study. Such study will prepare them to understand diverse communication messages and practice excellent communication skills in a variety of settings. For more information contact: Dr. Amy Edwards (805)
