Health Communication, Language, And Social Action Across The Life Span

~~46,05€~~ 41,45€ 10% OFF

 The language utilized within health communication encounters has a direct influence on our physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. In many ways, the difficulties associated with efficient, effective, and competent communication within the health care context can be the major determinant of successful health outcomes. Further, while many of the interactional contexts within health are intergenerational, communication encounters are challenged by ageism and a lack of appropriate intergenerational communication skills. While it may seem obvious that the nature of human interaction is constantly changing as individuals develop throughout their lives, few theoretical or empirical investigators within the general disciplines of Communication, Language, and Social Psychology ground their research within a life span developmental perspective. This book addresses communication events within health care institutions from a theory-rich, methodologically varied, and social action/positive communication orientation. Chapters in this book examine interpersonal relationships, the social environment, and culture to develop beneficial communication practices for healthcare professionals, individuals, families, and communities.

The Communication Of Hate

by John Haas e Michael Waltman

99,35€ + 10% CARD

 The book was awarded the 2011 NCA Franklyn S. Haiman Award for Distinguished Scholarship in Freedom of Expression. This book sets out to explore how hate comes alive in language and actions by examining the nature and persuasive functions of hate in American society. Hate speech may be used for many purposes and have different intended consequences. It may be directed to intimidate an out-group, or to influence the behavior of in-group members. But how does this language function? What does it accomplish? The answers to these questions are addressed by an examination of the communicative messages produced by those with hateful minds. Beginning with an examination of the organized hate movement, the book provides a critique of racist discourse used to recruit and socialize new members, construct enemies, promote valued identities, and encourage ethnoviolence. The book also examines the strategic manipulation of hatred in our everyday lives by politicians, political operatives, and media personalities. Providing a comprehensive overview of hate speech, the book ends by describing the desirable features of an anti-hate discourse that promotes respect for social differences.

The Communication Of Jealousy

by Jennifer L. Bevan

43,79€ + 10% CARD

 This book won the 2014 National Communication Associations Diamond Anniversary Book Award This book received the 2014 Gerald R. Miller Outstanding Book Award from the «Interpersonal Communication Division of the National Communication Association» and the «National Communication Association Communication and Social Cognition Division 2013 Distinguished Book Award» Informed by a wide variety of academic disciplines and offering a unique interpersonal communication approach to the study of jealousy, The Communication of Jealousy examines, integrates, and informs research on jealousy experience and expression. The books integration and interpretation of academic jealousy research is through a jealousy expression lens, meaning that the focus will be particularly, but not exclusively, on jealousy research that includes a behavioral or communicative component that is drawn from a number of academic disciplines as diverse as communication, social and clinical psychology, sociology, criminology, forensic anthropology, and the biological sciences. To date, no academic book has considered jealousy primarily from an interpersonal communication perspective; in doing so, this book effectively connects jealousy research from related academic disciplines and develops a theory that advances the state of jealousy expression research.

Culture In Rhetoric

by Karen Wolf e Richard Wilkins

36,57€ + 10% CARD

 Richard Wilkins and Karen Wolf present an innovative look at the relationship between rhetoric and the ethnography of communication. They argue that a situated rhetoric extends beyond the study of public discourse to include moments of identification that are used in a situated, social, and cultural way. The main problem the book addresses is the idea that individuals use situated rhetoric to accomplish communal identification, even at the risk of multiple interpretations from others. Culture in Rhetoric draws on case studies exploring argumentation through speaking and silence over the use of Native American land; asynchronous communication active in the cultural frames of a CBS 60 Minutes episode; identity and communication at a Jewish havurah; optimal forms of communicative conduct in Britain; and the changes in education communication of a North American college. Wilkins and Wolf present the position that the context, form, and meaning of these situated instances of rhetoric provide a foundation upon which to analyze the communicative constructions of cultural identity.

Race Talk In Institutional Settings - A Language And Social Interaction Perspective

by Francesca Williamson e Natasha Shrikant

~~39,33€~~ 35,40€ 10% OFF

 Language and social interaction scholars have increasingly explored the consequentiality of language use for the production and reproduction of race, racialization, and racism. This timely book proposes a race talk framework that enables researchers to explore how people treat race as an ongoing issue through language use in institutional settings. The chapters introduce key concepts, debates, and illustrative race talk studies using Ethnomethodology, Conversation Analysis, Membership Categorization Analysis, Discursive Psychology, Identity-Implicative Discourse Analysis, and Critical Discourse Approaches. They highlight the benefits, challenges, and epistemic politics involved in race talk research. By synthesizing disconnected literature, this book charts an emerging subfield of LSI race talk research, methodological tensions, and proposes future directions for race talk research and inclusive community building. "Shrikant and Williamson offer six compelling methods to examine how race (and racism) is not merely embedded in institutions, but is woven into the very fabric of everyday organizational discourse. Essential reading for researchers seeking robust qualitative tools to study the constitution of race in daily life." — Trudy Milburn, Southern Connecticut State University "Drawing on rich empirical materials, this accessible book demonstrates the distinctive affordances of a range of analytic approaches that focus on the details of naturally occurring language use in social interaction." — Kevin A. Whitehead, University of California, Santa Barbara
