Synopsis

This second volume of the two-volume set Rethinking Communication presents examples of the diversity of perspectives and theoretical problems that currently occupy the attention of the field. Each of the 30 chapters exemplify a particular paradigm or perspective by describing a body of work or a particular research project. Seeing the diversity of the field as a response to the realities of an increasingly pluralistic world, the editors hope this and the companion volume will help explain where the field is headed so scholars can seek answers to such questions as how to constitute a scholarly community in the face of existing pluralism, how to construct a coherent educational curriculum, and how to determine standards of evaluation.
