[Commlist] New title in the Palgrave/IAMCR book series

/The Science of the Commons: A Note on Communication Methodology/ is the 
ninth book to be published in the Palgrave/IAMCR book series Global 
Transformations in Media and Communication Research 
<http://iamcr.org/publications/iamcr-book-series>.

Written by Muniz Sodré and translated from Portuguese by David Hauss, 
/The Science of the Commons: A Note on Communication Methodology/ 
proposes a new mode of comprehending communication. Leaving aside a 
sociological and linguistic model that defines communication as a 
process of information transmission, this book introduces an innovative 
ethical-political understanding of communication as a connection of the 
common, the cohesive tie of the community. Muniz Sodré critiques the 
weak ethical and political aspirations of the field of communication and 
suggests the construction of a ‘post-disciplinary’ science, set against 
the classic disciplines of sociology, anthropology and economics, which 
resists a global ideology of financialization. Moving the field of 
communication beyond media studies to a philosophical reflection on the 
roots of the community, /The Science of the Commons/ is a 
ground-breaking book that offers fresh perspectives for the study of 
communication worldwide.

This book:

  * Provides a ground-breaking new perspective on communication studies
  * Challenges standard sociological and anthropological thinking on media
  * Sheds light on the true theoretical core of communication and its
    interdisciplinary background
