Communication and non-communication

Sunday, April 25th, 2010

Sometimes, fascinatingly, things hover ambiguously between communication and non-communication, as in the case of the wink/twitch (Sless and Shrensky). Imagine sitting in a train and the man opposite you closes and opens one eye quickly while looking straight at you. Is he winking at you or twitching? By analyzing this example carefully, we have been able to show the subtle nature of the boundary between communication and non-communication. The difference between treating the phenomenon as communication or as non-communication turns out not to be a characteristic of the phenomenon itself but rather a characteristic of our description of the phenomenon. Put another way, it is what we—experiencing the phenomenon—bring to its apprehension: the beholder’s share again.
In the case of communication, when we read something as a text, we apply a quite specific schema that implies a notion of an author. We do not need a clear idea of who the author may be, what their purpose or intention was, or the nature of the message they wanted to present. If we believe something to be the product of an author then we treat it in a distinctive way. We try to make sense of it in a special way, quite different from the way we would try to make sense of it if we regarded it as a natural phenomenon. Treating something as communication leads us to ask questions about intention and semiotic systems. Treating something as a natural phenomenon leads us to ask questions about causes and effects, a quite different type of inquiry leading to quite different descriptions and explanations.
Equally, as the author of texts (using the term “author” in a broad generic way), we imply a notion of a reader. Again, this notion can be quite vague, and often is, but the presence of this implied or inferred reader is a defining characteristic of communication from the author’s point of view. There is thus a symmetry between the author and reader positions. But, importantly, these are different positions in the communication landscape, and the presence of the text both joins and separates them.

Communication

Sunday, April 25th, 2010

Communication was not a theorized space until after World War II, it was i something we did. Seminal model of communication and the model of feedback dealt with the technical transmission space for communication. From the beginning of communication theory, attention focused on technical aspects and broadcast models in which the recipient of the communication was presumed to be passive. All that was necessary was to use understandable codes (language, symbols, images) with which the recipient was familiar. Since those early days, many communication models have been developed that deal with various perspectives on communication, including discourse models that seek to establish rapport; gratification models that attempt to sustain interest; innovation models that promote behavior change; and context models that seek to recognize and plan for the specific conditions in which a communication occurs. Wit ii these models the varieties of ways in which communication was received and interpreted came to the foreground, but the variables that influence any particular person’s interpretation remain daunting and undiscovered in their totality.

From Art to Communication

Sunday, April 25th, 2010

It struck me, and many others, that, if this is true of a work of art, it is also true of other forms of communication, Our reading of a book, for example, is a combination of what the writer presents us with and our own expectations. The same is true of a movie, a poster, a timetable, a map, indeed any form of communication. Thus Gombrich’s insight following on from Kant is relevant at the most general level of our description of communication. Indeed Kant was referring to all types of experience, not just communication, People each bring their own expectations—their share—to experience in general.
But there is something distinctive about communication as an experience that separates it out from other forms of experience. To tease out what this might be, my colleagues and I looked at a number of cases that hovered at the boundary between communication activity and naturally occurring phenomena. The most famous of these was the discovery of pulsars (Hewish; Sless 1981). Because the pulses generated by the astronomical phenomena are so regular, the researchers who first discovered them speculated that the pulses might be a signal from a distant civilization. However, once they accepted that there was a satisfactory physical explanation, they abandoned the idea of a signal.

Recognizing Human Aspects of Game Space

Sunday, April 25th, 2010

Games can be approached as containing technical skills one wishes to master or as opportunities to interact socially. For example, some chess players prefer to play the computer (remember “Big Blue”) and some prefer to play a human adversary. The experience is different as the computer may play an intellectually challenging game, but cannot effectively stall, bluff, or look for sympathy.
Games provide a conversational space in which we try on behaviors that perhaps don’t come easily to us: for example, aggression or collaboration, negotiation or nondisclosure. In the context of the game we get immediate feedback from others in terms of their social response or game response, both of which are revealing and dynamic. Games can be a structure in which we get acquainted as they require participation and they provide a ritual to sustain interaction. Through this participation we learn something about the values and strategies of our opponents and even ourselves.

Business minded

Thursday, February 18th, 2010

In my early childhood i usually watch my businessman neighbor being so busy fixing his stalls. He got a lot of stuff like Adidas shoes neatly displayed on the front line of his store. he got a lot of so many things including the Christian Louboutin shoes. I love to watch him so busy entertaining his customers. He is also a distributor of Breitling replica items that are very in demand in the market today because of their quality designs. I always wanted to be like that man. I told my parents that I want to pursue a course about business management when i grew up. My parents are so happy that I have a business mindset. My mother really want to have a small store also but never got the chance because she is employed in a hospital as a nurse. She hardly got the time to venture out with her dreams. I want her to fulfill her dreams when she retired from her job. My plan is to just let them do the thing that they were not able to do during their younger years. I started saving from the allowance that they gave me and was able to save a big sum of money that is capable to open a store for my mom.

Gift

When I was in high school I am the one who is in charged for the printing of
NFL jerseys that will be used by the players in the annual basketball league. Most of the players are my friends who ordered polo shirts from Ed Hardy store. It is an annual event that everybody is excited. We have invited different teams from other school to compete with the event. Being the school host we have made a lot of preparations in order for it to be successful. All of the delegates came from the various schools that really love the sports of basketball. All of the players were carefully selected in the try outs to ensure of course the win that will give them Honor. I personally checked every detail in their uniform to ensure the quality and durability of every items. One of our classmates volunteered to be the one in charged with the food and beverages. It is truly an event organized in unity. It really turned out to be a success and our team won the game. All the faculties commended our hard works and in the next school year we will be the same school who will host the event again.

In today’s young generation there are a lot of fashion company that offers new and stylish kind of fashionable clothing. True Religion jeans is one of the most in demand when it comes to jeans. The UGG boots is also the top picks by most teenagers. the number one brand when it comes to bags and shoes is the Louis Vuitton because of its durability. Fashion is the style and custom prevalent at a given time. In its most common usage however,  it also describes the popular clothing style. Many fashions are popular in many cultures at any given time. Important is the idea that the course of design and fashion will change more rapidly than the culture as a whole. Fashion designers aim to create wearable pieces of art.

The terms “fashionable” and “unfashionable” were employed to describe whether someone or something fits in with the current or even not so current, popular mode of expression. There exist a number of cities recognized as global fashion centers are held in these cities where designers exhibit their new clothing collections to audiences. The cities like London, Milan New York and Paris are all headquarters to the greatest fashion companies and renowned for their major influence on global fashion.
