Maggie LaWare Contributes Article to Urban Communication Reader
LaWare, Margaret and Gallagher, Victoria. "The Power of Agency: Urban Communication and the Rhetoric of Public Art ." Urban Communication Reader. Ed. Gene Burd, Susan Drucker and Gary Gumpert. Cresskill, NJ: Hampton Press, 2007.
The Urban Communication Reader explores the contemporary city and suburb and its changing nature as seen through the eyes of a group of interdisciplinary communication scholars. It explores the nature of community and neighborhood in an age of communication change. It focuses on social interaction from the ball park to the cyberpark, from the civic plaza to the electronic meeting place, from architecture and design and its communicative function to the Wi-fi as a public convenience available without regard to place.
The Reader covers three general areas: perspectives on history, philosophy, and methods of research on cities; cases of contested urban places and spaces; and regional and global urban communication patterns. It is intended to bridge traditional relationships with the super accelerated world of communication technology in which we embrace the new, but hope to preserve the traditions of community.
