COM 313 - Philosophy of Communication

Institution:

The College of New Jersey

Subject:

Description:

This seminar explores ancient and current wisdom about the nature of communication, from intimate to formal settings, and as a crucial link between humans, animals and machines. Communication is considered as information, expression, performance, signification, and an emblem of identity. Unlike computers and other information systems that we often use as models of communication, humans have no system of exact and efficient transfer of meaning. The class encourages the engagement of active learners interested in building on readings other course materials to explore the challenges of this dilemma.
