Communication Campaigns and National Integration in China's Market Economy Era: Reviving the National Soul
by Yanru ChenThis book adopts the method of grounded theory in studying national communication campaigns in China, referred to as propaganda campaigns in the Chinese linguistic context. The study provides an exploratory and descriptive analysis of the ways in which the media in China fulfilled their function of building a Socialist spiritual civilisation and maintaining national integration during state propaganda campaigns. Explanations for the success and limitations of the campaigns are clearly expressed and combined with cautious statements on the limited role of the media in the process of national integration. The three major communication campaigns detailed in this book offer revelations regarding how to maintain mass morale and revive the national spirit at a time when economic pursuits and aspirations seem to be the top priority for individuals and institutions. A chief premise underpinning this study is that economic growth is not to be equated with social progress or human development, the latter encompassing a far more profound spiritual dimension, which takes far more delicate efforts to accomplish.

Communication Fundamentals
by Alberts Nakayama MartínCOURSE DESCRIPTION Competent communication is based on the ability to create and share meaning effectively and appropriately in a variety of contexts. This course provides students with theoretical knowledge and practical experience in communicating interpersonally, across cultures, in groups and teams, and in public spaces. We combine an understanding of the theories and research on communication with the development of practical skills. Since audience adaptation is fundamental to effective communication, an appreciation for the differences among people will be integrated into our studies. Through speeches and a paper, in-class and on-line activities, class discussions and debates, we will explore the ways in which differences shape identities and communication styles, and how to recognize and analyze the range of ways in which people communicate, in an effort to also improve our own skills in communicating with a variety of people. A primary focus in this course is on speaking effectively, using and evaluating qualitative data, and examining human differences.
