A Communication Theory Of Culture, Donal Carbaugh

Donal Carbaugh

This chapter does three general things. First, following Bauman (1999), it discusses some prominent uses of the culture concept. Second, it introduces a communication theory of culture and uses that theory as a basis for reflecting upon earlier uses of the culture concept. Third, the chapter concludes by briefly summarizing some of the possibilities of this approach for the study of communication and culture.
