Includes bibliographical references and index.

Why Communication is Not as Certain as We Might Think -- Intersubjectivity, Dialogue and the Limits of Sharedness -- The Limited Reach of Universal Pragmatics -- The Limited Reach of Communication Systems -- Uncertainty and Social Communication Theory -- The Communicating Subject -- Radical Translation and Interpretation Across Ideologies and Cultures -- New Communication Uncertainties and Mediapolitics.

We live in a risk society - or network society - that has turned liquid, inhabitants of a multi-layered information-rich environment. The uncertainties of noise, gossip, rumour, disinformation and 'chatter' surround us, demanding our interpretations. And yet, despite the abundanceof social science literature on uncertainly, there is still a serious lag in communication theory. The main claim of this book is therefore that theories of intersubjectivity, dialogue and understanding are now out of joint with our world. We need to return to a theory of the ethicsof interpretation which castsoff the fetters of both the intersubjective paradigm of Habermas' rationalistic communication theoryand systems-theoretical responses to that paradigm which seriously neglect the role of the human agent. Uncertainty and Communication offers new theoretical investigations into the communicating subject in society. It argues that although the noise of our world creates informational strain foragentsand the pressure to interpret from multiple truths, multiple selves and multiple realities, that very interpretative pressure is the ethical imperative of the communicating subject.
