WiSe 17/18: Pragmatics of Communication
Harald Wenzel
Kommentar
This course offers an overview, discussion and evaluation of different strategies to build a theory of communication for the social sciences. Two approaches are obvious candidates to be covered: first, theories of the pragmatics of communication (in contrast to syntactics and semantics) – e.g. the theory of communicative action (Jürgen Habermas) and its sources, particularly speech act philosophy;. second, pragmatist theories of communication, e.g. the social psychology of George Herbert Mead and its extension into Symbolic Interactionism. -----
But these approaches are only a starting point. The course will provide insight into a variety of additional theories of communication from a pragmatist perspective, asking: In which way is communication conceptualized as a process of social action and as an element of the structures of society? -----
