Description
While the broader field of communication studies is gaining more global prominence, this is an era when the underrepresented voices are fortunately becoming more recognized. Communication Theory and Application in Post-Socialist Contexts illustrates how Eurasia and Central and Eastern Europe-the post-socialist region-represents a population of more than 400 million who embody a wide array of communication experiences. This book aims to capture significant communication tendencies in several post-socialist countries and situate these tendencies within communication theory and application. It contains the examples of theory-building and adaptation as well as applied projects implemented in national and local contexts. Only by inclusive incorporation of the underrepresented experiences in the field's discussions can the communication discipline continue to assert its relevance in and for the global community. This book serves as a resource for anyone on the quest of diversifying and globalizing communication studies.
Reviews / Votes
"These outstanding scholars skillfully illuminate the theory and application of communication scholarship in post-socialist contexts. The authors are well qualified for the task; each lives or has spent considerable time in Eastern Europe or former Soviet Union countries, actively teaching and researching communication. The well-researched and masterfully-written chapters are an invaluable resource for scholars, educators, and students who seek to understand the role of communication scholarship and instruction past and present in post-socialist contexts, cultures, and countries." -- Steven A. Beebe, Texas State University This volume represents a truly stimulating contribution to comparative communication studies. Illustrated with attractive cases, it brings much-needed insight into how different theories, concepts and methods, from framing and government communication to rhetorical analysis, are applied in post-socialist contexts. The exclusivity of this book is that it operates on three levels: it investigates how communication theories are applied in practice, how they are reinforced through scholarly research and how they are embedded in education. Most importantly, the book makes a strong case for better integration of post-socialist experiences in global communication research. -- Marijana Grbesa, University of ZagrebMore details
