Strategic Ambiguities: Essays on Communication, Organization, and Identity is a provocative journey through the development of a new aesthetics of communication that rejects all fundamentalisms and embraces a contingent world-view. Author Eric M. Eisenberg both collects and reflects on over two decades of his writing to provide important personal, historical, and theoretical context.
A New Communication Aesthetic
In this final part of the book, I take the contingent model of communication and seek out useful practical applications. In so doing, I move beyond an exclusively organizational focus to look more generally at the relationship between views of meaning and perspectives on human identity and relationships. Specifically, I emphasize the value of examining how we are attached to various interpretations of our lives and how the strength of these attachments affects our attitudes and behavior. I conclude with a prescription for a new aesthetics of contingency, the pursuit of which has the potential to promote a more peaceful coexistence among diverse individuals.
