Communication and Culture

Now in its third edition, this book argues that while there is no single, clear set of rules for communicating adequately, there are nevertheless some general theories which help us see how the structures and processes of communication are tied in to social structures and cultural processes. Such an understanding can profoundly influence our ways of behaving, from our part in conversations to the ways in which we produce and understand complex packages of communication, such as visual images, popular romances, advertising and films.

The argument is developed through an examination of the key terms communication and culture, an exploration of the history and present make-up of Australian society; a close look at the communication industries, at language and its uses, and at images and their meanings and effects , including the complex moving images of film and video.

Communication and Culture, is in an accessible and readable style and explores these central aspects of communication and how they interweave with our everyday cultural activities.
