  • Interaction and Identity: Information and Behavior

    Hartmut B Mokros, Harmut B MokrosBOOKInteraction and Identity2018

    "Scholarly interest in issues of self-identity has exploded across disciplines within the humanities and social sciences in recent years. Common to these concerns are the assumptions that self-identity is not an a priori, not given or fixed, but created in the process of communication. This also assumes that social institutions and values are produced and reproduced by individuals in interaction. To capture the essential characteristics of a pers…

  • From Information-Seeking Behavior to Meaning Engagement Practice: Implications for Communication Theory and Research

    Open AccessHartmut B Mokros, Mark AakhusARTICLEHuman Communication Research2002

    We invite readers of this colloquy on information-seeking behavior to reconsider the worldview that structures scholarly and practical thinking about information-seeking behavior as a mode of human activity. We propose an alternative formulation—meaning engagement practice—to draw into relief the assumptions that tacitly underpin the investigation of information-seeking behavior. We develop this alternative by contrasting information with meaning…

  • Communication-Information Relationship in Self-Representation: Suicide Notes andAcademic Research Narratives

    Open AccessHartmut B Mokros, Leah A LievrouwARTICLEKnowledge1991Cited by: 2References: 2

    This article compares two examples of how information is privileged and then used by individuals to build representations of themselves and their lives. The aim is to explore the utility of an analytic vocabulary to describe this privileging process. In the first example, an adolescent's construction of a suicide note shows how individuals, in the hours before they take their own lives, may choose certain types of information and thereby construc…

  • Understanding the Communication-Information Relationship: Levels of Information and Contexts of Availabilities

    Open AccessHartmut B Mokros, Brent D RubenARTICLEKnowledge1991Cited by: 1References: 9

    This article explores the communication-information relationship from a system-theoretic perspective. Two basic systems principles and six propositions are presented to provide the foundation for a consideration of this relationship. The authors propose three distinct, yet mutually defining conceptions of information: Information e, environmental information that has potential but has not yet achieved actualized significance for a living system; …
