Reviews

'I highly recommend this book to those who are looking for a fresh view on what is going on in communication studies and how it connects to similar lines of thought in practice-based studies or in affect studies.' - Silvia Gherardi, University of Trento, Italy 'The Work of Communication is an important step in the study of organizations in terms of grappling with the central question about symbolicity and materiality that, while it can never be completely resolved (Burke, 1969), offers us something to learn from the ongoing effort to answer it. The Work of Communication will stimulate further discussions and debates on both theoretical and practical levels, and that is one of the most important stated goals for this impressive and path-breaking volume.' - George Cheney, University of Colorado Colorado Springs, USA
