Capítulo 9. El metamodelo constitutivo
Este capítulo revisa los usos que se le han dado al metamodelo constitutivo (Craig, 1999) en los primeros dieciséis años desde su publicación. El metamodelo ha sido ampliamente citado como una referencia sintetizada del campo y ha sido utilizado también como un dispositivo para la enseñanza teórica, para reflexionar sobre los problemas de la comunicación desde múltiples perspectivas y para evaluar teorías particulares o áreas subdisciplinarias en…
Deliberative Play
This article introduces a special issue of the American Behavioral Scientist in which scholars of public deliberation address the theme of "Deliberative Play" from different conceptual and empirical approaches. Here I introduce the concept of deliberative play against a background of philosophical accounts of deliberative action, the theory of metacommunication, and trends in the study of public deliberation that are endeavoring to reduce the gap…
Traditions of communication theory and the potential for multicultural dialogue
Multicultural dialogue on communication theory is needed both to de-Westernize the field and to engage it with an emerging global communication culture. The Constitutive Metamodel envisions a pluralistic field of communication theory that invites dialogue among multiple traditions of thought on practical communication problems. Can the Constitutive Metamodel serve as a heuristic framework to facilitate multicultural dialogue on communication theo…
For a Practical Discipline
This essay defends a conceptual interpretation of communication as a practical discipline: a distinct kind of intellectual discipline, the essential purpose of which is to cultivate a socioculturally constituted field of social practice—in our case, the social practice of communication—by contributing to the metadiscourse on normative and technical aspects of communicative praxis. Responding to possible objections from standpoints in communicatio…
Traditions of Communication Theory
Theories of communication, which originated independently in a wide range of disciplines and fields, often vary so much in content, intellectual style, and underlying assumptions as to seem essentially unrelated. Robert T. Craig has offered an historical and institutional interpretation of this problem and proposed to reconstruct the field on the basis of a constitutive metamodel in which multiple traditions of thought engage in dialogue and deba…
The International Encyclopedia of Communication Theory and Philosophy
Social cues, such as eye gaze and pointing fingers, can increase the prioritisation of specific locations for cognitive processing. A previous study using a manual reaching task showed that, although both gaze and pointing cues altered target prioritisation (reaction times [RTs]), only pointing cues affected action execution (trajectory deviations). These differential effects of gaze and pointing cues on action execution could be because the gaze…
Metacommunication
Metacommunication is communication about communication. The significance of metacommunication goes well beyond the obvious fact that communication can be a topic of discussion. More fundamentally, metacommunication refers to a “level” of meaning through which every message implicitly defines the relationship between communicators. Jurgen Ruesch and Gregory Bateson, who introduced the term, described metacommunication as a “new order” of communica…
Theory and Practice
The social psychologist Kurt Lewin's oft‐quoted dictum that there is nothing so practical as a good theory should make us wonder what specific qualities, if any, would (in theory) make a theory good in that way and whether any such theory actually exists (in practice). But any answer to these questions must depend on particular conceptions of theory, practice, and the ideal or possible relations between them; and these are as debatable as they ar…

The Constitutive Metamodel
This article reviews the uses that have been made of the constitutive metamodel (R. T. Craig, 1999) in the first 16 years since its publication. The metamodel has been widely cited as a shorthand reference to the field, and has been used as a device for teaching theory, reflecting on communication problems from multiple perspectives, and assessing particular theories or subdisciplinary areas in relation to the field as a whole. Scholars have also…
Studying interaction in order to cultivate communicative practices
Action-implicative discourse analysis (AIDA) is an ethnographically informed discourse-analytic approach that works to provide normative understandings of situated communicative practices that are action-implicative for social life. Extending the logic of grounded practical theory (Craig and Tracy 1995), AIDA develops reconstructed accounts of the communicative problems, interaction strategies, and normative ideals of a practice. We introduce AID…

Pragmatism in the Field of Communication Theory
This article reconsiders Craig’s (1999) constitutive metamodel of communication theory as a field in light of Russill’s (2004, 2005) critique and proposal of a pragmatist tradition of communication theory. After reviewing the constitutive metamodel, I examine Russill’s argument and assess its implications for a reconstructed field of communication theory including pragmatism as a distinct tradition. I argue, in conclusion, that the problems of pl…

How We Talk about How We Talk
This article is a revision of the author's presidential address to the 54th annual conference of the International Communication Association, presented May 29, 2004, in New Orleans, Louisiana. Using recent public discourse on talk and drugs as an example, it reflects on our culture's preoccupation with communication and the pervasiveness of metadiscourse (talk about talk for practical purposes) in private, public, and academic discourses. It argu…

Communication Theory as a Field
This essay reconstructs communication theory as a dialogical-dialectical field according to two principles: the constitutive model of communication as a metamodel and theory as metadiscursive practice. The essay argues that all communication theories are mutually relevant when addressed to a practical lifeworld in which “communication” is already a richly meaningful term. Each tradition of communication theory derives from and appeals rhetoricall…

A research program on intellectual discussion in academic institutions is presented as a case that illustrates a method for constructing grounded practical communication theory.

The Discourse of Requests
A corpus of transcribed, oral requests used in a previous study of compliance-gaining strategies (Tracy, Craig, Smith, & Spisak, 1984) is examined interpretively from the perspective of the politeness theory of Brown and Levinson (1978). Findings include the following: (1) politeness strategies occur in great abundance and variety; (2) superstrategies are mixed in varyingly skillful ways; (3) goals are accomplished through multifunctional discour…

The Discourse of Requests
This study assesses the utility of a compliance-gaining approach for coding messages produced in a set of "request" situations experimentally varied by status and familiarity of the requestee and by size of the request. The results indicate that altruism, and, to a lesser extent, certain positive sanction and argument strategies, are used predominately in these situations. Strategy usage also varies significantly as a function of speaker (subject…

Limiting the Scope of the Spacial Model of Communication Effects
An experiment tested the hypothesis that cognitive change resulting from information inputs can be represented as linear motion of concepts in multidimensional space. The theoretical background is reviewed and the mathematical derivation of the hypothesis is given. A set of 15 nations was scaled using Woelfel’s Galileo system of multidimensional scaling. Experimental messages were introduced and the posttest interconcept distances compared with t…

Galilean rhetoric and practical theory 1
Bold claims have been made for the practical usefulness of Galileo Theory as well as its potential to become an explanatory theory of human communication with scope and precision comparable to the fundamental theories of physics. This essay concludes that the arguments that have been offered to support those claims are weak, not only because the empirical evidence on which they are based is weak, but because the philosophy that warrants the relev…
