Routledge - The Communicative Construction of Reality Book

Explore a new perspective on how society is formed through this Routledge publication. This volume proposes a shift from traditional social constructivism, seen in the work of Thomas Luckmann and Peter Berger, toward a model of communicative constructivism. It treats communication as an embodied form of action that allows social actors to build a material social reality. This reality serves to guide, limit, and enable human actions in a structured way. As our world becomes increasingly digital, understanding the mechanics of interaction is more important than ever. This book examines the role of communication during an era of rapid digitization and mediatization. It looks at how these forces have extended the reach of communication to a global level, changing how we perceive and inhabit our social world. This text is a valuable resource for those studying the intersection of knowledge, communication, and society.
