The present historical moment may seem a particularly inopportune time to review Bowling Alone, Robert Putnam's latest exploration of civic decline in America. After all, the outpouring of volunteerism, solidarity, patriotism, and self-sacrifice displayed by Americans in the wake of the September 11 terrorist attacks appears to fly in the face of Putnam's central argument: that \"social capital\" -defined as \"social networks and the norms of reciprocity and trustworthiness that arise from them\" (p. 19)'has declined to dangerously low levels in America over the last three decades. However, Putnam is not fazed in the least by the recent effusion of solidarity. Quite the contrary, he sees in it the potential to \"reverse what has been a 30to 40-year steady decline in most measures of connectedness or community.\"' As an example of how the current \"war on terrorism\" could generate a durable civic renewal, Putnam points to the burst in civic practices that occurred during and after World War II, which he says \"permanently marked\" the generation that lived through it and had a \"terrific effect on American public life over the last half-century.\" 3 If Americans can follow this example and channel their current civic

Dialogue: Theorizing Difference in Communication Studies

Dialogue has become a pivotal concept within contemporary human studies, yet few theorists explore its temporal dimension Is dialogue an extended state of high quality mutuality? Or does it exist in important yet ephemeral moments of human meeting? This article reports on the contributions to communication theory that emerge from a close reading of a metadialogic conversational "text "-the landmark 1 957 meeting of Martin Buber and Carl Rogers Although most commentators have described Buber and Rogers as disagreeing sharply, we argue that a coherent Buber-Rogers position emerged from their dialogue Buber and Rogers, in their informal theoretical collaboration, theorize that mutuality-and, by extension, dialogue-is possible in role-unequal relationships in moments of meeting We then discuss how this Buber-Rogers position prefigured the contemporary cultural tenor of postmodernism Although not postmodernists themselves, Buber and Rogers helped to shape an intellectual climate in which key postmodern themes could flourish
