Si la sociedad de la comunicación global ha venido acompañada de promesas desmesuradas y de utopías todavía incumplidas, hoy día es obligatorio examinar y evaluar por qué ha sido así. Es ya un imperativo. No podemos, cuando la técnica es tan decisiva en nuestras vidas, abandonarnos a una confianza ciega en la tecnología, y tampoco la docilidad ante sus determinaciones puede seguir siendo nuestro comportamiento habitual. Se trataría, justamente, de lo contrario, de sustituir la confianza ciega por el espíritu crítico, reflexivo y metodológicamente científico, por un lado, y la docilidad por la autonomía de acción. Necesitamos, por tanto, desarrollar una actitud consciente, capaz de sopesar los efectos positivos y negativos de los cambios y, sobre todo, capaz de inspirar nuevos desarrollos técnicos y nuevos cursos de acción que se acomoden a las aspiraciones del ser humano.

This volume gives a theoretical account of the problem of analyzing and evaluating argumentative discourse. After placing argumentation in a communicative perspective, and then discussing the fallacies that occur when certain rules of communication are violated, the authors offer an alternative to both the linguistically-inspired descriptive and logically-inspired normative approaches to argumentation. The authors characterize argumentation as a complex speech act in a critical discussion aimed at resolving a difference of opinion. The various stages of a critical discussion are outlined, and the communicative and interactional aspects of the speech acts performed in resolving a simple or complex dispute are discussed. After dealing with crucial aspects of analysis and linking the evaluation of argumentative discourse to the analysis, the authors identify the fallacies that can occur at various stages of discussion. Their general aim is to elucidate their own pragma- dialectical perspective on the analysis and evaluation of argumentative discourse, bringing together pragmatic insight concerning speech acts and dialectical insight concerning critical discussion.

Media Literacy and the Emerging Citizen is about enhancing engagement in a digital media culture and the models that educators, parents and policy makers can utilize to place media-savvy youth into positions of purpose, responsibility and power. Two specific challenges are at the core of this book's argument that media literacy is the path toward more active and robust civic engagement in the 21st century: How can media literacy enable core competencies for value-driven, diverse and robust digital media use? How can media literacy enable a more civic-minded participatory culture? These challenges are great, but they need to be examined in their entirety if media literacy is to begin to address the opportunities they present for democracy, participation and discourse in a digital media age. By presenting information that places media literacy at the center of what it means to be an engaged citizen, educators and policy makers will understand why media literacy must be integrated into formal and informal education systems before it's too late
