The communicative constitution of speech community
Authoritarianism without utopian imagination
This essay draws on social scientific and philosophical work from Central Eastern Europe (CEE) to argue that utopian imagination is a key indicator of authoritarian regimes’ ambition to install totalitarian rule. Communication scholars can find evidence (or lack thereof) of utopian imagination in public discourse. I analyze three Executive Orders issued by the second Trump administration to show that while these texts clearly display authoritaria…
Social disorder
We review 4 decades of scholarship on the relationship between social disorder and social interaction generated by the Washington school of the ethnography of communication. We identify 5 key insights from the review regarding the ontological status of social disorder, the multiple scales of disorder, the mutually constitutive relationship between disorder and interaction, the dialectical relationship between order and disorder, and social disord…
Communication skills as generic objects
Communication skills do not have an agreed upon definition despite the importance contemporary communication culture attributes to them. Instead of asking what communication skills are, this study adopts a relational approach and asks how skills materialize as elements of the situation in and with which speakers interact. I review the sociopsychological theoretical tradition’s conception of skills as typologies of skills and skill components, and…
Tracking the transmission of culture
Ethnography of communication studies conducted by communication scholars, including those informed by cultural discourse theory, typically approach the cultural transmission of discursive resources using a narrow conception of language socialization. In this conception, expert speakers instruct or otherwise compel novice speakers to speak in locally recognized, normative ways and thereby achieve or affirm membership in the collective. I perform t…
The Rhetorical Emergence of Culture
“Just as rhetoric is founded in culture, culture is founded in rhetoric” - the first half of this central statement from the International Rhetoric Culture Project is abundantly evidenced. It is the latter half that this volume explores: how does culture emerge out of rhetorical action, out of seemingly dispersed individual actions and interactions? The contributors do not rely on rhetorical “text” alone but engage the situational, bodily, and of…
Public speaking goes to China
Cultural discourse theory’s (CDT) strength is accounting for cultural differences between historically transmitted expressive systems. In its current form, the theory is not set up to account for the mobility of particular communication practices across cultural boundaries. Relying on CDT’s conception of communication practices as discursive resources for social interaction, we extend the theory’s explanatory power by investigating how speakers c…

Rethinking the Ethnography of Communication's Conception of Value in the Context of Globalization
As a key approach to the study of language and social interaction within the field of communication, the ethnography of communication (EC) posits that speech communities value communication resources for their functions in the process of competent use. We argue that this conception of value creates theoretical blind spots for other types of value that derive from other processes besides competent use, such as the exchange and acquisition of commu…
The global circulation of discursive resources and the lived experience of globalization
This essay explores mainstream communication research related to globalization and the use of discursive resources. We provide a state-of-the-discipline review of contemporary empirical studies that tie globalization and linguistic communication to their social significance and to the contextually rooted practices of individuals. We organize the literature into four areas according to their treatment of the global circulation of signs: relationsh…
Speech genres and cultural value in the Anglo-American public speaking course as a site of language socialization
Speech genres have a significant role in socializing children and adults not only to speak in culturally appropriate ways but also to present desirable identities. We analyze narratives of self-transformation collected in an undergraduate public speaking course in the United States to learn how the acquisition of public speaking as a speech genre contributes to U.S. students’ language socialization. Our study contributes to two traditions of inte…
The emergence of a local strategies approach to human security
We consider the contributions that the study of discourse and security can make to international efforts to improve conditions of human security through the study of discourses of security in local socio-cultural contexts. We begin by discussing an applied program of work conducted at the United Nations Institute for Disarmament Research (UNIDIR) between 2007 and 2014. This program of work began by developing a cooperative approach to community S…
Public speaking as cultural ideal
Institutes of higher education around the world respond to the challenge of globalization by internationalizing their curricula. We argue that adding an element of cultural reflection to curriculum design is an important step toward internationalization. We use ethnographic analysis to highlight the cultural gap between Anglo-American and non-Anglo interpretations of public speaking. We begin by reconstructing the Anglo cultural ideal of public s…

Meetings
We draw on Helen Schwartzman's seminal work on meetings to make the case for studying meetings and studying them from a cultural perspective. In a global context marked by the increasing interdependence of social groups of all sizes, scholars need ways to study and interpret local phenomena; a cultural approach to meetings provides a means for discovering local practices and theories of communication, and for enabling cross-cultural comparison to…
The rhetorical emergence of culture
Dismantling the antiracist “hate speech” agenda in Hungary
In the context of Hungarian political discourse, critics of contemporary antiracist advocacy argue that the antiracist "hate speech" agenda is motivated by carefully concealed political interests that pose a danger to the integrity of Hungarian society. The aim of the present article is twofold: to capture the themes and rhetorical strategies emerging from discursive challenges to the "hate speech" agenda, and to identify the cultural foundations…
