My Mother, My Sweater: An Aesthetics of Action Perspective for Teaching Communication
Steven S. Taylor
Worcester Polytechnic Institute, USA
Volume 1: 2006, pp. 57-72; ABSTRACT
I describe a model of communication that is based in an action science / action inquiry and organizational aesthetics perspective that I use for teaching undergraduates in place of the more traditional “conduit” model. The model focuses on communication as interpretation of speech acts based on frames, context and aesthetics.
