This essay explains pedagogical experiment at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock using a piece of literature as a case study to examine interpersonal-communication concepts and to emphasize a course theme of objectification of other human beings. The course, entitled Rhetoric and Communication, has two co-instructors. One instructor is from Rhetoric and Writing, the other is from Communication. This essay reviews the course they teach, along with the readings they require, and it selects The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka, to illustrate how interpersonal themes play out in a literary text and how objectification thwarts deeply personal values. Initially, the essay summarizes key interpersonal concepts (schema theory, coordinated management of meaning, the work of Martin Buber, and Knapp’s work on relationship stages). It then considers students’ work as they produce a “filtered” summary, a summary that endeavours to apply the interpersonal concepts being studied to Kafka’s work. Finally, it explains how summaries work, the “passage hunt” exercise, and how text-based class discussions can lead to lively discussion, robust student writing and a richer understanding of interpersonal concepts as well as the part objectification plays in damaging relationships. Thus, the paper illustrates several pedagogical strategies as it explores how The Metamorphosis becomes a literary case study that answers the question: how did this fictional family create communication that resulted in such communicative tragedy?
The crisis is a phenomenon which a man can experience no matter what its reasons are, either personal or impersonal. Therefore, one of the ways or fundamental conditions to overcome the crisis is communication both intrapersonal on a level of inner integration and interpersonal which makes it possible to meet and have a dialogue. Communication is a skill that one has to learn. The article tries to search for personal determinants of communication as a basis for acquiring and developing communication skills in the crisis. It also aims at showing that a human person is an integrating subject of one’s own communication activities as well as a platform of integration of intersubjective media activities. That is why, it can be said that a person is homo communicus and homo communicans, and the other way round that homo communicus who becomes homo communicans is a person. On this foundation one can and at the same time must build and develop communication skills in the crisis.
