The Complexity of Human Communication

Most communication research and most applications of that research acknowledge the process nature of comunication. However, the material following that acknowledgement conforms to traditional linear and static approaches treating communicatin as little more than printed text. This print paradigm persists despite repeated calls to explore the more dynamic nature of communication. In this seoond edition, the author updates and expands his argument that communication is a process analogous to the complexity in other livitn systems. Complexity theory models biological processes similara to how chaos theory treats physical and chemical processes.

The book begins with a review of philosophical and social psychological thought as a basis for explaining the mathematical and natural science models. The volume reviews a remarkable range of material stretching over three centuries.

Communication and the Human Condition

Starting with the premise that we live in communication (rather than standing outside communication and using it for secondary purposes), Pearce claims that people who live in various cultures and historical epochs not only communicate differently but experience different ways of being human because they communicate differently. This century, he notes, ushered in the "communication revolution," the discovery that communication is far more important and central to the human condition than ever before realized. Essential to the communication revolution is the recognition that multiple forms of discourse exist in contemporary human society. Further, these forms of discourse are not benign; they comprise alternative ways of being human. Thus communication theory must encompass all that it "means to live a life, the shape of social institutions and cultural traditions, the pragmatics of social action, and the poetics of social order."

Every time the masses tried to advise the government about what needed to be
done, or what government projects were not working, the government scolded
them for not doing enough. No wonder the masses have learned to be
dependent on the central government for development! Although the
communication perspective does not suggest a clear-cut solution to the problem
of development in India, it does explain an otherwise enigmatic result of forty
years of development work.
