Conflict, Mediated Message, and Group Dynamics cover

Conflict, Mediated Message, and Group Dynamics: Intersections of Communication establishes a framework to explore the ways emotions enter a conflict scenario and investigate their role as either causes or consequences of conflict. This edited collection’s chapters shed light on the questions of the extent to which context on the one hand and culture-related dimensions on the other are conducive to conflict dynamicity and management either by calming emotions—and conflict—or by increasing their severity.

This volume focuses on the vital role of mediated messages in an array of conflict settings. Adopting a broad-based view of conflict, it examines the role of emotions, threats, discourse patterns, music, and iconic photographs in international, organizational, crisis-management, and work-family controversies. As such, it offers a unique perspective to the role of messages, symbols, and media in critical conflict situations. -- Linda L. Putnam, Texas A&M University
