Description

Communicating with Our Families: Continuity, Interruption, and Transformation examines how communication technologies are shaping childhood, parenthood, and families by exploring topics such as parental loneliness, family storytelling, family technology rules, mindful technology usage, multigenerational communication, and community. The scholars in this volume work from a human communication perspective and use various research modes of inquiry including quantitative, qualitative, and interpretive methods. Perhaps the most significant question implied by our contributors in this volume is whether the introduction of new communication technologies will fundamentally alter familial forms and if those new groupings that emerge will resemble what has been generally assumed for several millennia.

Media Reviews

“Communicating with Our Families invites us into the rich, variegated communication within family life—the everyday wonders and worries we experience in our age of intense technological mediation amid the enduring realities of eating, working, sleeping, and talking together close at hand.” -- Calvin L. Troup, Geneva College
Communicating with Our Families: Technology as Continuity, Interruption, and Transformation, is a collection of essays that explore the impact, influence, and consequences of new and emergent communication technologies on familial communication, familial relationships, and communicative action in the world. The editors are guided by the assumption that how human beings live in familial relationships can model how we relate to others and engage in the world around us—extending communicative practices beyond familial ties. Considering all of the polarization, incivility, and disruption in our communities, our governments, and our generalized public sphere today, this text reminds us to look toward our families to learn how we might transform our public spaces with healthier communicative engagement. -- Annette M. Holba, Plymouth State University
