Holisms of communication
A central pillar of contemporary communication research is the analysis of filmed interactions between people.

The two final essays of the book deal with parallel aberrations in current literary theory, especially Derridian radical skepticism concerning language and deconstruction, as viewed from a linguistic stand-point.
