Download or read book Dialogue in the Digital Age written by Patrick Grant and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-01-27 with total page 101 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Combining literary criticism and theory with anthropology and cognitive science, this highly relevant book argues that we are fundamentally shaped by dialogue. Patrick Grant looks at the manner in which dialogue informs and connects the personal, political, and religious dimensions of human experience and how literacy is being eroded through many factors, including advances in digital technology. The book begins by tracing the history of evolved communication skills and looks at ways in which interconnections among tragedy, the limits of language, and the silence of abjection contribute to an adequate understanding of dialogue. Looking at examples such as “truth decay” in journalism and falling literacy levels in school, alongside literary texts from Malory and Shakespeare, Grant shows how literature and criticism embody the essential values of dialogue. The maintenance of complex reading and interpretive skills is recommended for the recuperation of dialogue and for a better understanding of its fundamental significance in the shaping of our personal and social lives. Tapping into debates about the value of literature and the humanities, and the challenges posed by digitalization, this book will be of interest and significance to people working in a wide range of subjects, including literary studies, communication studies, digital humanities, social policy, and anthropology.

Download or read book Dialogue written by Emmanuel Olusola and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2021-03-25 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I am glad to see a new work from Fr. Emmanuel Olusola on the importance of dialogue. In a world with advanced technologies for communication, coupled with increasing polarization, it is a task of both the Church and of society to create dynamics for dialogue in order to address differences in peaceful ways and to foster spaces for meaningful encounters to find a path forward amidst challenging situations. As this book argues, such spaces begin with each individual through intra-personal dialogue. Most Rev. Donald Bolen Archbishop of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada Member, Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity, Vatican City, Italy Dr. Olusola’s book makes a significant contribution to knowledge about dialogue. The book not only establishes the interconnection between intra-personal and interpersonal dialogue, but also provides a fresh perspective in understanding dialogue from cultural, scientific, and Christian perspectives. Olusola convincingly presents the art of listening as an essential requirement for dialogue in the digital age. He summarily explores the power of dialogical conversation in building relationships. This book is a must for everyone interested in a peaceful family life, a rewarding workplace experience, and a better world at large. Rev. Fr. Gerald M. Musa, PhD Lecturer, Center for the Study of African Culture and Communication (CESACC) Catholic Institute of West Africa, Port Harcourt, Nigeria, West Africa

Download or read book Congressional Communication in the Digital Age written by Jocelyn Evans and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-06 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Communication defines political representation. At the core of the representational relationship lies the interaction between principal and agent; the quality of this relationship is predicated upon the accessibility of effective channels of communication between the constituent and representative. Over the past decade, congressional websites have become the primary way constituents communicate with their members and a prominent place for members to communicate with constituents. Yet, as we move toward the third decade of the 21st century, little work has systematically analyzed this forum as a distinct representational space. In this book, Jocelyn Evans and Jessica Hayden offer a fresh, timely, and mixed-methods approach for understanding how the emergence of virtual offices has changed the representational relationship between constituents and members of Congress. Utilizing strong theoretical foundations, a broad historical perspective, elite interviews, and rich original datasets, Evans and Hayden present evidence that virtual offices operate as a distinct representational space, and they demonstrate that their use has resulted in unprecedented and ill-understood changes in representational behavior. Congressional Communication in the Digital Age contributes to the scholarship on representation theory and its application to the contemporary Congress. It is valuable reading for students and researchers interested in American politics, political communication, and legislative politics.

Download or read book Crisis Communication in the Digital Age written by Ayse Simin Kara and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2018-12-13 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the course of recent years, in countries with high crisis expectation and risk probabilities, such as Turkey, a significant rise in the number of crises has been observed. Since current crisis practices are incident-specific, the role of public relations is largely overlooked, and, furthermore, crisis communication studies in non-Western cultures are scarce; this book fills these gaps through two distinct studies. The first highlights crisis management types and strategies by reflecting on interview responses collected from 35 different sectors and sub-sectors in Turkey. While interview findings are used to inform strategical know-how regarding the shift from crisis to opportunity during times of turbulence, the elicited responses reveal how practitioners perceive and respond to crises in the contemporary media landscape. The second analyses the recent upheaval caused by Watsons Turkey as a case study to stress the vital role of public relations in times of crisis.
