On Dialogue Studies, Donal Carbaugh

Donal Carbaugh

The study of dialogue is a way to open several intellectual arenas for investigation while at the same time offering insights into multiple scenes of practical yet culturally diverse human practices. This article reviews several such arenas including studies of dialogue as a culturally distinctive form of communication, dialogue as an approach to understanding social practices, dialogic ethics, as well as dialogue as an integrative view of not only cultural practice but also natural environments. Throughout, dialogue studies are cast as a broad field with distinct disciplines within it, as holding deep value for understanding diversity in peoples’ practices, as …


Cultural Discourse Of Dwelling: Environmental Comunication As A Place-Based Practice, Donal Carbaugh Jan 2013

Cultural Discourse Of Dwelling: Environmental Comunication As A Place-Based Practice, Donal Carbaugh

Donal Carbaugh

In this essay we contribute a response to intellectual and practical problems by using and developing a perspective on environmental communication that is reflexively grounded in place and that explores human relations with nature, while embracing cultural and linguistic variability in these processes. Our goals are to introduce a way to think through communication to places, and further to link that understanding to issues of engaged environmental action, to deeply seated notions of identity, and to the affective dimension of belonging that place-based communication often brings with it. Our way of doing this is to theorize and study cultural discourses …

Discursive Reflexivity In The Ethnography Of Communication: Cultural Discourse Analysis, Donal Carbaugh, Elizabeth Molina-Markham, Elena V. Nuciforo, Brion Van Over Jan 2011

Discursive Reflexivity In The Ethnography Of Communication: Cultural Discourse Analysis, Donal Carbaugh, Elizabeth Molina-Markham, Elena V. Nuciforo, Brion Van Over

Donal Carbaugh

This article is a creative reconstruction of reflexivity as it operates for some practitioners of the ethnography of communication. Our central concern is conceptualized as “discursive reflexivity”; with that concept, we foreground communication both as primary data and as our primary theoretical concern. As a result, we treat reflexivity as a process of metacommunication, that is, as a reflexive process of using discourse at one level to discuss discourse on another. Following current and past research, we explore how dimensions of discursive reflexivity differently configure into five types of ethnographic practice, these being theoretical, descriptive, interpretive, comparative, and critical inquiry. …

Cultural Discourse Analysis: Communication Practices And Intercultural Encounters, Donal Carbaugh Nov 2007

Cultural Discourse Analysis: Communication Practices And Intercultural Encounters, Donal Carbaugh

Donal Carbaugh

The field of intercultural communication has been criticized for failing to produce studies which focus on actual practices of communication, especially of intercultural encounters. Of particular interest have been cultural analyses of social interactions, as well as analyses of the intercultural dynamics that are involved in those interactions. This article addresses these concerns by presenting a framework for the cultural analysis of discourse that has been presented and used in previous literature(e.g., Carbaugh, 1988a, 1990, 2005; Carbaugh, Gibson, and Milburn, 1997). Indebted to the ethnography of communication (Hymes, 1972), and interpretive anthropology (Geertz, 1973), this particular analytic procedure is one …
