Finding Ong’s way through
This Keynote address from the 23rd annual convention of the Media Ecology Association in Rio de Janeiro marked the presentation of The Walter J. Ong Award for Career Achievement in Scholarship. The address explores how Ong approached his own scholarship and how that scholarship offers a method for media ecology research. Rather than to propose a system, Ong instead suggests a method to find one’s way through problems of communication and knowledg…
A debate between Paul Soukup, SJ and Paul Glader on how digital culture is affecting media education on religion
The debate feature of the journal is one in which two scholars offer their contrasting reflections on a topic of interest. This year, Church Communication and Culture posed the question ‘How is digital culture affecting media education on religion?’ First, Paul Soukup, Jesuit priest and Communications professor at Santa Clara University in California, presents strategical suggestions for religious education within the digital culture; then, Paul …
Medium
The term medium refers to a middle place, a physical connection between two places, an analogical connection through communication technologies, a representative, an environment in which cultures or individuals dwell, and an instrument to accomplish some purpose. Each meaning results in an approach to communication research. More specific applications appear in media studies, medium theory, media ecology, and mediatization.
Everyone’s searching for a saviour
Christian theology has employed almost all communication media and techiques to aid its reflection on belief. Its twentieth century fascination with film illustrates how media ecology can inform both theology’s practices and theology’s key concepts, such as sacramentality. Looking at filmic theology through a media ecology lens reveals that film can have religious significance in a number of ways: relationally, ritually, narratively, symbolically…
Walter Ong and media ecology
The centennial of Walter Ong’s birth provides an occasion to revisit his work and weigh how he fits into the group of key figures for media ecology. His work provides a grounding of communication study apart from the media; it demonstrates a methodology helpful for further work; and it reminds media ecologists of the value of interdisciplinary work
Assessing Service-Learning in a Communication Curriculum
As service-learning programs grow in popularity in communication programs, the question of assessment takes on increasing importance. After reviewing the representative literature on service-learning and educational assessment, this article proposes a model for assessing service-learning programs and then applies that model through a secondary analysis of evaluative data collected over a 10-year period at a West Coast university
Theology and communication
Just as the confluence of two rivers provides a rich area of study for geographers and historians, so the confluence of two disciplines provides an exciting perspective for members of each. In one way or another, Christian theology and communication studies have intertwined for the better part of 15 centuries. Whether in studies of homiletics or in the application of the insights of human communication to the divine (e.g. Kennedy, 1980; Augustine…
