A separate strand of rhetoric’s development heads in a similar direction as Burke’s, but one that focuses specifically on the emergence of what might be seen as a rhetorical science. This lecture looks at the work of Harold Lasswell, Paul Lazarsfeld, Ernest Dichter, and others, who addressed the effects of persuasion through communication research. Il y a une rhétorique distincte qui se développe dans une direction semblable à celle prise par Burke tout en se focalisant sur l’émergence de ce qu’on pourrait qualifier de science de la rhétorique. Ce cours porte sur l’œuvre d’Harold Lasswell, Paul Lazarsfeld, Ernest Dichter et d’autres qui ont étudié les effets de la persuasion en faisant de la recherche en communication.

This article explores datawalking as a novel method in media and communication research for studying datafication. Drawing from existing literature, datawalking is characterized as an embodied, situated and generative practice. These affordances of walking help to tackle existing research challenges and connect lived experiences to data infrastructural concerns. More specifically, contemporary research on the deep mediatized city faces challenges that pertain to the invisibility, loss of context and access to data and its infrastructures. It is argued that datawalks, as an empirical method in media and communication research, offers a much-needed anchoring of data as material and situated, and constitutive of everyday life.

Abstract: Can tools be developed to enhance the global exchange of research in communications? A model developed by Mansell et al. is used to conceptualize where probable "bottlenecks'' might develop in efforts to network communications research. One likely bottleneck is bibliographical support systems which at present are poorly developed in our field. A new thesaurus structure developed by UNESCO's COMNET might serve as an international standard for indexing communications materials. This could enhance the networking of research at various levels of technical sophistication. Résumé: Est-ce que des outils peuvent être développés pour augmenter les échanges internationaux en recherches communicationnelles? Un modèle développé par Mansell et autres est utilisé pour déterminer où les obstacles pourraient survenir dans la formation de réseaux en recherches communicationnelles. Parmi ces obstacles, il y a les répertoires de références bibliographiques qui sont peu développés dans notre domaine. Un nouveau système en forme de dictionnaire des synonymes développé par le COMNET d'UNESCO pourrait servir de modèle international pour l'indexation de ressources en communications. Cette approche pourrait augmenter les échanges en recherche à plusieurs niveaux de sophistication technique.
