| Abstract |
"The Experience of Human Communication approaches everyday communication as a philosophical and psychological matter. Using insights from Merleau-Ponty, Heidegger, and Foucault, Frank J. Macke stresses that human communication - and with it, the human body - is, first and foremost, a relational phenomenom involving friends and family. Macke systematizes the concept and application of communication as human, personal, and cultural. Meaning is more than information; people are not extensions of their technology"--Back cover. |
