1. How we talk about communication today : the regime of communication -- 2. John Locke and the transmission model of communication : a mist before our eyes -- 3. How communication became known as information processing : the true psychical reality -- 4. Information and the mathematical theory of communication : a very proper and discreet girl -- 5. How information processing became more like communication : communication, memory, and subliminal perception -- 6. Learning to speak differently about communication : which do you wish? -- 7. A semiotic and a phenomenological discourse of communication : the author should die -- 8. A hermeneutic discourse of communication : the genuine conversation -- 9. Towards a new way of speaking about communication : it all happens out there.
