"Communication is at once a structure of human action -- activity, process, practice -- an ensemble of expressive forms, and a structured and structuring set of social relations. To describe communication is not merely to describe a constellation of enshrined ideas; it is also to describe a constellation of practices that enshrine and determine those ideas in a set of technical and social forms."
-- James Carey,
Communication as Culture,
(Boston: Unwin Hyman 1989),
ps. 86-87.
