Looking Through Communication-language transmits thoughts and ideas, the ideas come from outside of communication

-truth and reality exist outside of communication

-objectivity is both possible and desirable

-thoughts are transferred bodily, people insert their thoughts and feelings into words-communication should be effortless-the ideas transferred through the conduit are exact clonesinserted from one brain to another

-technology is a way to make communication better and eliminate misunderstanding,as well as therapybeing open and honest, sharing our hearts and minds withothers so we understand each other.-communication is a machine to transport our thoughts-ideally, there would be no need for communication. We would be telepathic.

-nave verbal realism (refusing to realize that using language creates reality)-looking through communication eliminates the bubble we see the world through

-Dr. P experiences a small part of Looking Through as he sees the gloves qualities, but not the namegiven to it, like an animal. He looks through communication, because he cant connect the words given toobjects with the actual objects.

-CBS Theory (clear, brief and sincere)

-ignore style and only use content

-style is just the superficial fluff

-rhetoric is what we should get rid of, not analyze.

Plato Gorgias

-started the western ideas about communication

-conversation is the means through which we can begin to understand the truth-rhetoric draws attention, complicates the truth, and is dangerous

-rhetoric is not a craft, it doesnt have an organized body of knowledge

-its a knack; everyone can do it, it doesnt need to be studied

-rhetoric is flatteryit creates instant gratification where there should be truth

seeking

-medicine, gymnastics, legislation, justice vs. cookery, make-up, sophistic, rhetoric

-its deceptive; pleasure can seduce you from the truth

Rowland and Jones Recasting the American Dream and American Politics-LAC helps to understand paradoxes, as language makes meaning and

shapes perception-Obama and Reagan use rhetoric to rally support for particularattitudes and perceptions-Reagan made the American Dream more about individuals throughnarrative storytelling and rhetoric, while Obama used differenttactics to combine individualism and society.-like Reddy, Burke, and Peters, Obama and Reagan used communication toinvent the American Dream, which we see by looking through-finding the real you means that a part of you exists outside of communication-it is uninfluenced by the outside world


2/4

-older self-help wants you to become more or better than you are

-knowing who we are fixes communication


3/4

Looking At Communication-we think we are experiencing the real world, but we are actually experiencing the effects of language

on the world

-ideas exist because there are words to go with them

Reddy The Conduit Metaphor-how you speak influences the way you think (Worf hypothesis)-the words you use influence the way you view things-miscommunication is not a problem, its an opportunity-culture is not in books or tapes, those are opportunities for culture-communication is hard but the process is rewarding

Peters The Problem of Communication-how we think about communication is the problem-direct conduit communication is not achievable or desirable-we grow personally through communication; telepathy takes away privacy, mystery,pursuit, ect.-impossibility of perfection is what creates culture

-when we dont achieve telepathy, we retreat into solipsism, or the you dont knowme attitude-communication used to be used to describe many things, now its just the LookingThrough idea

Burke The Definition of Man-SymbolUsing Animal~language is what makes you human and constructs your reality~our ways of saying things determines how we feel about them~using symbols is the only way we interact with the world (the abyss)-Inventor of the Negative~we created the event of something be not there, or all that it is not

~we cant directly experience nature because language colors our perception-Separated from his natural condition by instruments of his own making~we cannot connect with nature, because our perception is always influenced by language-Goaded by the Spirit of Hierarchy~we decide who/what is important~language prompts us to name and order everything in our world-Rotten with Perfection~we want communication to be a completed process, even though its not good for us (like telepathy)

Lanham Introduction: The Domain of Style

information, but to inspire action.-pay attention to the style, because it is all of the content

-CBS Theory is not achievable or desirable

-sincerity implies there is a central self to be sincere too

-a productive relationship means constructing valuable roles

Guigon The Culture of Authenticity-how can you be what you already are?-what if we are just a product of media and communication influences?-is the real self something that we should introduce to the public?-what is the true self is not something we want to be?

-there is no true self, we are only conscious of the roles that we play
