Communication is not made of gaps, as John Durham Peters has recently maintained, but of more or less successful attempts to bridge the spatio‐temporal and interpretive distances that attend our individuality as embodied beings. Starting from the idea that communication is an activity of sharing through the mediation of signs, we try to bring out its gap‐bridging potential and to indicate why all communication presses towards completeness of sharing through interaction. We pursue this important question through Peter's essay: Can one embrace interaction models without depreciating or demeaning the various forms of mass communication? |
