An Ecology of Communication
Lexington Books (Verlag)
978-1-7936-1814-6 (ISBN)
An Ecology of Communication: Response and Responsibility in an Age of Ecocrisis moves readers beyond the anthropocentric bias of communication study and toward a listening-based model of communication; an essential move toward discerning fitting responses and the call to responsibility in an age of ecocrisis. This book addresses the ecological and communicative dilemma in which the universe, earth, and socio-cultural life world are resoundingly dialogic, all while we create modern and postmodern cultures largely governed by monologue. This book addresses the need to live different, non-dogmatic stories that vivify our links with the natural world, redefining dominant myths of unlimited growth, technology as savior, and linear progress. The ecological crisis, most broadly construed, is a crisis of communication. Scholars of communication, ecology, and social sciences will find this book particularly interesting.
William Homestead is associate professor in the Department of Communication Studies at New England College.
