Informer n'est pas communiquer

Synopsis of Informer n'est pas communiquer

«Informer n'est pas communiquer» is Dominique Wolton's essay on communication, published by CNRS éditions (147 pages, in French).

Wolton argues that informing is not the same as communicating: the transmission of data is not enough for an effective exchange, because social, political, and cultural factors come into play. The essay analyzes intercultural communication in a globalized world and shows the weight of cultural differences and power relations in meaningful dialogue.

Published in 2009, it belongs to the Débats collection of CNRS éditions.

For readers of philosophy and communication, especially those studying intercultural communication and its social and political determinants.
