Genuine Communication

Now that linguists are beginning to see an element of dialogicality in all language use, there is more scope for a humanized dialogue analysis with ameliorative goals. This can divide its labour between a communicational criticism dealing with the ethics of address, and a mediating criticism dealing with the ethics of response. In the present article, I outline the distinctive features of such an approach, and by sketching a communicational theory of literature (cf. Sell 2000) draw particular attention to the dialogicality arising between literary writers and their audience. From this starting-point, I then examine instances of four different literary genres for the light they can throw on the general ethics of address. Key terms here are “genuine communication”, by which I mean any manner of communication which respects the autonomy of the human other, and “negative capability”, defined by Keats (1954 [1817]: 53) as the capability of “being in uncertainties, Mysteries, doubts, without any irritable reaching after fact and reason”.

The Nederduitsch Hervormde Sustersvereniging in a postmodern societyIn this article the women's society of the Nederduitsch Hervormde Kerk is discussed and the character of the society is related to certain aspects of postmodernism. It is argued that in many respects, the women's society is postmodern in a positive sense: it is flexible, spontaneous and genuine; communication is on an equal, non-authoritarian level; it is not concerned with positions of power, but with people in need – with the marginalized; it is concerned with doing, that is, visual proclamation through deeds. It uses many modes of postmodern communication, such as images and imagination, and has a corporate image that communicates the vision and mission of the society in a visual way. The conclusion is that it is not the specific problems of a certain age that are important, but the way in which these problems are addressed. Through the ages, women have had the unique ability of addressing problems and shaping an age.

Genuine Communication

This paper deals with the propaganda used by Emperor Maximilian I during the Swiss/Swabian War of 1499, and in particular the mandate of April 22nd. In accordance with the genuine communication situation of the Early Modern period, it was necessary to adapt the respective framework conditions to the corresponding time segment through a theoretical determination of the communication situation. Based on these theoretical premises, this study analyses original sources according to their propagandistic dimensions and investigates the context, the addressed audience and the declared purpose correspondingly.

We know there is a chronic breakdown in real dialogue and human relations across and between widely diverse worlds, ideologies and forms of life. We can see over millennia the violent clash of worlds, religions and ideologies. But we also witness the amazing possibility of genuine communication and non-violent human relations across all sorts of borders. The author shares with us some amazing aspect of his life-long research about human evolution. KEYWORDS Transpersonal Life, global reason, transculturalism, mind, evolutionary maturation.

Genuine Communication

In this commentary I explain why research institutions are neither doing science communication nor developing ‘public’ relations in the proper sense. Their activities are rather a mix of different things, serving various purposes and targets. However, dealing with PCST, their main responsibilities [should] include: promoting genuine communication and dialogue, being open and accessible to the public, providing high quality scientific information, ensuring good internal communication and educating their scientific staff.

This article investigates the origins and development of the earliest Jesus movements within the context of persistent conflict between the Judean and Galilean peasantry and their Jerusalem and Roman rulers. It explores the prominence of popular prophetic and messianic movements and shows how the earliest movements that formed in response to Jesus’ mission exhibit similar features and patterns. Jesus is not treated as separate from social roles and political-economic relationships. Viewing Jesus against the background of village communities in which people lived, the Gospels are understood as genuine communication with other people in historical social contexts. The article argues that the net effect of these interrelated factors of theologically determined New Testament interpretation is a combination of assumptions and procedures that would be unacceptable in the regular investigation of history. Another version of the essay was published in Horsley, Richard A (ed), A people’s history of Christianity, Volume 1: Christian origins, 23-46. Minneapolis, MN: Fortress.
