About The Book

Do you despair about the divisiveness, the hatred, and the lack of compassion in our social world? Are you looking for a better way to manage the complexities and demands of 21^st century social life? Well, this book offers just such a way.

Following the adage of Einstein, that you cannot solve problems with the mindset that created it, you are introduced to a new way of thinking and acting that opens up possibilities for a more hopeful future than the one we currently face. The new mindset presumes that we create our social worlds in communication, that our relationships with people matter deeply to the quality of our lives and that living with difference enriches us.

The authors draw on the Theory of the Co-ordinated Management of Meaning for inspiration, making dense concepts and technical language more accessible so that you can use the theory. You are introduced to such notions as relational beings, self-reflexivity and storied worlds, along with what it can mean to engage in joint action, dialogue and cosmopolitan communication. By drawing on these ideas and implementing them in our everyday interpersonal communication, the authors show how changing our communication practices can bring about social and cultural change.

About The Author

Jensen, Arthur: - Arthur Jensen (PhD, University of Massachusetts) is Emeritus Professor of Communication and Rhetorical Studies, Syracuse University, a Board Member of the CMM Institute and a co-director of the Cosmopolis2045 project. Arthur served as a faculty member and department chair, and for the past 16 years, before retiring, as senior associate dean for academic affairs in the College of Visual and Performing Arts, Syracuse University. For nearly a decade, he also served as academic director of the Bachelor of Professional Studies program for part-time students at Syracuse University. Arthur's scholarly work has focused on the role of communication in constructing personal and social relationships and how personal identity evolves from within relationships and patterns of communication. He has also been interested in how concepts related to interpersonal communication have evolved historically and will continue to evolve in the future. The Cosmopolis 2045 Project is one outgrowth of that interest. Among other things, he is focused on developing a more comprehensive under-standing of the possibilities in cosmopolitan communication as a cultural form of practice. CMM theory and practice drives all of these interests

Penman, Robyn: - Robyn Penman (PhD, UMelb) has devoted her scholarly career to the development of a practical-theoretic approach to understanding communication as a relational practice. She has been equally as focused on asking questions about what makes for good communicating and what this can mean in the public sphere. Robyn has been an independent communication scholar and consultant to the Australian government on communication and social policy matters. She was also a Founding Director of the Communication Research Institute of Australia (1987-2000) and an Adjunct Professor in Communication at the University of Canberra (1999-2005). Robyn is a past President (1985-6) and Life Member of the Australian and New Zealand Communication Association, has served on the International Communication Association board (2002-3) and is a Visiting Senior Member, Linacre College, Oxford (1987-). She was also the associate editor of the Australian Journal of Communication (1984-2003) and has served on the editorial boards of Communication Theory and Human Communication Research. She is currently a board member of the CMM Institute and a co-director of the Cosmopolis2045 project. The Cosmopolis2045 project and this current book provide an extraordinary opportunity for Robyn to show how her understandings of communicating can be used for making for better social worlds.
