“…This paradigm views the interaction between humans and individuals in the organization as the object of research. Research in the field of organizational communication since the 1980s has changed to an interpretive paradigm model; this is due to disappointment with the results and explanations in functionalist (positivistic) rationalization research (Taylor & Lindlof, 2016).…”

“…The data obtained from the field is analyzed through three flows of activities that will be conducted simultaneously: data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions or verification (Hillebrand & Berg, 2000). Furthermore, to ensure the quality of research and interpretation of data, it can be done with the validity of research that is correct, appropriate, and has the suitable instruments (Taylor & Lindlof, 2016). http://eduvest.greenvest.co.id…”

The purpose of this study is to explain the organizational communication aspect of a community organization, Forum Betawi Rempug (FBR), and to reveal the interaction patterns and dynamics of various fantasies of dramatically exchanged symbols. Organizational communication can be defined as the process of creating and exchanging messages in a network of interdependent relationships to cope with an uncertain or changing environment. This research approach uses a subjectivist in the interpretive category. This study uses a qualitative method by using a Symbolic Convergence approach which is subjectivist. The results show that the dynamics of sharing fantasy patterns on the theme of leadership and Betawi figures of FBR community organization depart from the rhetorical vision of the issue of the revival of Betawi in the past, the era before the formation of the State and long before the Dutch colonial era existed. Betawi is a culture that is noble and needs to be fought for. In the organization’s context, FBR is a forum for the struggle to unite the Betawi people by evoking Betawi cultural values and the struggle for the Betawi people’s lives. From the narrative analysis of the FBR community organization, the present storytellers are the leaders in the ranks of the FBR. The latter is considered the primary source of information for delivering the message of the existing dramatic stories. The meaning of leadership in a metaphorical context often gives rise to stories of Betawi’s character and leadership as village guards in the sense of an essential struggle that contains sincerity and loyalty to the area where they live.

“…Within the past two decades, a growing number of scholarly voices have testified to the global circulation of qualitative research methods among social science disciplines (see Taylor and Lindlof, 2013). Consistently, those voices address how this circulation creates new challenges and opportunities which affect disciplinary practices of teaching and research, and stimulate a search by disciplinary members for new forms of community which may support their response.…”

Two current forms of globalization are inherently interesting to academic qualitative researchers. The first is the globalization of qualitative research methods themselves. The second is the globalization of academic disciplines in which those methods are institutionalized as a valuable resource for professional practices of teaching and scholarly research. This essay argues that patterns in existing discussion of these two trends create an opportunity for innovative scholarship. That opportunity involves reflexively leveraging qualitative research methods to study the simultaneous negotiation by academic communities of both qualitative methods and their professional discipline. Five theories that serve to develop this opportunity are reviewed, focusing on their related benefits and limitations, and the specific research questions they yield. The essay concludes by synthesizing distinctive commitments of this proposed research program.

“…The multi-and interdisciplinary character of communication is seen both as a source of incoherence and as one of its meritorious qualities (Craig, 1999;2013). As in the case of every new field, communication scholars did not reach paradigmatic consensus and common understanding of communication theory as a field (Craig, 1999;Taylor & Lindlof, 2013). Some scholars (Sfez, 2001), when referring to a nucleus specific to communication, question the possibility for communication to become a science, meanwhile others (Craig, 2009, 9) are, on the contrary, arguing that cultivating theoretical cosmopolitanism is a practical suggestion for anyone who would like to contribute to a field of communication theory.…”

Building a Discipline. the Setup of Communication as an Academic Discipline in Romania

This paper aims to shed a light on the importance of looking on the epistemological and methodological grounds of communication as a discipline in Romania in order to be able to discuss about the professionalization of the domain. We start from the widely acknowledged idea that communication is a new and emerging field, drawing its concepts, theories, and methods from diverse other fields and domains. In Romania, as well as in other former communist countries, after 1990 the changes in the political and economic situation created the premises to establish university programs in communication and to create jobs for people working in communication. All these were possible with the help of “imports” from the Western world, imports that transferred not only concepts and theories, but also the epistemological dispute and weakness of the field. This paper explores the development and the current state of communication as an academic discipline in Romania. Through an analysis of the social documents available on the University program’s website, we seek to understand the theoretical roots of the discipline of communication, as well as its current development.<div id="mouseposition-extension-element-full-container" style="position: fixed; top: 0px; left: 0px; right: 0px; bottom: 0px; pointer-events: none; z-index: 2147483647; font-weight: 400;"> </div>
