Abstract
The sociological theory of Hugh Dalziel Duncan is reviewed as a symbolic interactionist answer to the Hobbesian question. It is argued that Duncan's work provides contemporary sociology with a comprehensive symbolic theory, and that a reconsideration of this work will produce a much-needed awareness of the importance of form and art to sociological thinking. Duncan's theoretical work is proposed as a powerful alternative to structural-functionalism. ...

Abstract
This article examines the matching emergence and development of cultural studies (CS) and transdisciplinarity (TD) following the 1960s social and political events in the West, out of which emerged, amongst others, poststructuralism and postcolonialism. It explores the emancipatory potential of CS in the 70s and 80s, and how it arguably gave way in the 90s to TD, focused as it is on praxis and problem-solving research. The South African chapter of CS is examined by pointing out available alternatives for TD ...

Abstract
This essay addresses recent misrepresentations of the study of political economy of the media. The discussion is grounded in some historical background, including a brief sketch of some of the history of critical communications research in the US, which flourished within the global profusion of critical research in the 1960s and 1970s. Part of this history is the emergence of organisational support for critical scholarship as well as the long-term employment of individual scholars by specific universities that made critical classes ...

Abstract
Since the 1968 Chapel Hill study by McCombs and Shaw (1972), agenda-setting theory has become a main perspective of research on media effects, and it has been tested in many other countries outside the United States. The thematic meta-analysis of Chinese agenda-setting articles performed in this study identifies some important trends of agenda-setting research in mainland China, including an increase of interest in agenda-setting theory, a dominance of the original agenda-setting approach and focus, a diversity of topical domains, an atheoretical ...

Abstract
This introductory essay outlines some of the issues that surround contemporary engagements with the “popular” as a site of political struggle and change. This piece notes that in the 30 years since Stuart Hall published his seminal essay, “Notes on Deconstructing the Popular,” the power relations that define the term as well as the way in which scholars study the popular have shifted in profound ways. The authors argue that, rather than simply equating the popular with popular culture, it is necessary ...

Abstract
The history of public relations has recently attracted the interest of critical media scholars. Edward L. Bernays, the author of several pioneering PR books, has profoundly influenced how critical scholars have conceived of public relations. Bernays deceptively claimed that Walter Lippmann provided the theory and that he provided the practice, creating the false impression that Lippmann was an apologist for PR. Lippmann actually denounced government and corporate publicity agents as propagandists and censors. Yet critical PR scholarship has uncritically accepted and ...

Abstract
In summarizing key developments in the study of ethics in journalism and mass communication, problems and opportunities for the future are identified. Major activities contributing to the ethics study trend include a succession of specialized books, a journal, workshops, courses, and student writing contests. These achievements have pulled journalism ethics from the marsh of neglect to a flatland of consciousness, with a four?tiered mountain remaining to be scaled that will propel mainstream communication ethicists into the arena with a growing number ...

Abstract
The article traces, from the perspective of audience reception research, the gradual methodological rapprochement of once hostile methodological paradigms: the quantitatively oriented uses-and-gratifications research and the qualitatively anchored reception research. While recognizing that the methodological differences stem ultimately from different epistemological perspectives, the article describes how these differences have been played out on the terrain of empirical methodologies for conducting fieldwork on audience practices and meanings. The article considers four stages of this rapprochement: (1) antagonistic self-sufficiency; (2) separate camps; (3) ...

Abstract
The concept of audience was widely adapted from its earlier origins in public spectacles and performance to apply to the new circumstances of mass media reception in the early 20th century, and especially to the public for film and broadcasting. It could even be applied more generally to include print media. The then novel usage of the term was a component in the larger paradigm of mass communications that in turn rested on certain preconceptions about its ?mass? character. These preconceptions ...

Abstract
Building on Kulich's introduction (2012), this article proposes a theoretical and analytical frame toward constructing an eventual sociology of science for the intercultural fields. Furthering Leeds-Hurwitz (2010) frame for analyzing people, places, and ideas in each decade, Löblich and Scheu's (2010) model is applied and extended to consider six domains for profiling a field: (#1) people—the biographies of influencers, (#2) places—their institutions/networks, (#3) ideas—their intellectual propositions, (#4) events—influential gatherings and associations, (#5) times—influential periods, paradigms, Zeitgeist, and (#6) contexts—multiple levels of ...

Abstract
Edward C. Stewart's work has been much affected by his own experiences and the historical spaces he and his families of origin have occupied. He remains one of the most complex members of the intercultural field. Although he played a key role in the initial organization of the field in the 1970s, he has also been the quintessential “outsider.” As a French-Swiss-Southern American-Brazilian, his multicultural perspective is novel. His initial academic formation was in experimental psychology with a focus on perception. ...

Abstract
The present article describes and analyzes the key influences that shaped the lifework of Everett M. Rogers – the person, the scholar, the mentor, and the global intercultural citizen. Rogers’ key theoretical and conceptual contributions to the social sciences are discussed, focusing especially on his seminal work on the diffusion of innovations. The article argues that Rogers’ life journey represents the quintessential intercultural life: a poor, Iowa farm boy who became an internationally recognized global intellectual; a scholar, who theorized about ...

Abstract
D. Ray Heisey (1932–2011) was exceptionally well regarded both by professional colleagues and former students as an early promoter of the academic field of intercultural communication, with a lifelong commitment to the inherent value of dialogic communication at all levels of teaching and research. He was remembered as “a dedicated scholar,” “a generous soul,” as a “mentor, and model,” “extremely kind to international students,” “a great educator” who “practiced what he preached in his life,” and as Wenshan Jia eugulized him: ...

Abstract
John C. (Jack) Condon is one of the most respected figures in intercultural communication today. His coauthored 1975 introductory textbook, An Introduction to Intercultural Communication, was a significant factor in defining the field and giving it its initial direction and terminology, and the two international conferences he helped organize in Japan in the 1970s were influential in bringing together many of the figures responsible for its subsequent development. His teaching, especially at the University of New Mexico and the Summer Institute ...

Abstract
Fred Casmir's third culture building (TCB) framework made a major theoretical contribution to communication studies. Casmir conceptualized the framework as an active process whereby different cultural groups come together to form a third culture between them. The third culture then becomes a common ground for all participants; a cognitive space that incorporates elements of both cultures and yet remains separate and distinct. Third culture building is a departure from adoption (the process of taking on the cultural mores of another) or ...

Abstract
In the 1960s and 1970s, well before intercultural communication existed in any well-defined way, Dean Barnlund was synthesizing his interests in art, architecture, travel, psychology, and interpersonal communication into a perspective that offered a fresh way to look at human interaction, especially across cultures. As a consummate educator, he influenced generations of communication students and professionals to put the creation of meaning at the center of communication. Dean emphasized that this required us to integrate multiple disciplines and to make a ...
