Description
This influential study explores how art forms can inform a theory of communication. Hugh Dalziel Duncan argues that understanding symbols in society is crucial for developing effective models of social analysis.
Duncan critically reviews major contributions to communication theory, including Freud's analysis of dream symbolism, Simmel's concept of sociability, James' insights into religious experience, and Dewey's relating of art to experience. By examining these key concepts, Duncan sheds light on the importance of symbols in shaping our social world.
