    Notes: Recent work in the sociology of scientific knowledge leads us to believe that organization exists in the interpretive processes of its members. A theory of communication is presented which views the communicational process as a double translation, from text to conversation and conversation into text. Using this theory as a basis, a conception of complex and extended forms of organization is developed which demonstrates that the text-conversation cycle underlies a complex process of networking out of which the identity of the organization emerges, and social structuring occurs, resulting in the division of labor and coordination. Implications of the theory are briefly considered for research.

    Notes: A number of organizational analysts have argued that we are in the midst of a paradigm shift, away from a strictly rational to a more transactional view of organization, but their arguments are not situated in a well-explicated communication theory. This article argues for the existence of two, mutually exclusive worldviews of organization and communication, one heteronomous, the other autonomous. A beteronomous model views organization as responding to an environment, and communication as the exchange of information. An autonomous model assumes organization to be generative of its own structures, through a reflexive process of self-production. The resulting “cell” of talk, in the autonomous model, is a conversation. Conversations are reflexive and self-organizing: they are produced by communication but are in turn the frame, or envelope, of the communication that generated them, in the absence of which communication would be impossible. They are the Organization in the communication. The article explores, through the mechanism of speech acts, the reflexive properties of human conversation, and its capacities to generate those relational properties that we associate with organization. The phenomenon of coupling and its organizational implications are briefly explored. The article concludes by a brief consideration of how to revise our ideas about the conduct of communication research.

    Notes: How can we explain a phenomenon as general and as central as social organization? This is the question discussed in this article. Starting from the analysis of uttering, and more generally, communication, it attempts to demonstrate the profoundly organizing nature of communication. Speech act theory (Austin, Searle, and Vanderveken) is used and reformulated in a new analytical model based on the concept of “modality” borrowed from the Greimassian theory and the Semantics of Modality Theory (Palmer, Bybee, and Fleischman). Through this analysis, the concepts of “interobjectivity” and “mediation,” presented by Latour as the foundations of the collective, are translated and extended to all enunciative activity. This parallel allows us to present communication as an activity of mediation which consists of illocutionarily distributing and perlocutorily fixing enablements and constraints which form the basis of all organizational structure. Key words: organization, communication, mediation, speech acts, Austin, Searle, semiotics, Greimas, semantics of modality, sociology of translation, actor-network theory, transformation, structure, interobjectivity.

    Notes: This paper argues for an enlargement of our conception of rationality to include forms of reasoning, intelligence, and cognition that are communicatively, rather than discursively, based. To defend the thesis that understanding emerges in the collective interactive processes of practically situated conversation, as well as in individual thought, this paper examines the theoretical literature devoted to self-organizing systems and the empirical literature that describes how distributed intelligence is developed by groups in materially embedded contexts of work. It then explores the phenomenon of emergence of organization as an actor, capable of expressing an intention and participating in a dialogue involving other organizations. It explains this phenomenon of the emerging organizational self as a logical implication of the theory of self-organizing, which predicates ‘self-ness’ as an effect of the coupling of an autopoietic system to an observer. Whereas this has tended to be interpreted in intersubjective contexts of communication, it can also be applied to organizational communication. Implications of such a revision of perspective are briefly considered, including a critique of current interpretations of dialogics.

    Notes: The processes by which political attitude changes occur have been examined extensively from a variety of methodological and theoretical perspectives. In this study, the authors attempt to extend the traditional balance formulation to a continuously-scaled least-squares paradigm in which change occurs as a function of accumulated information. A longitudinal tracking of the changes in attitude toward parties, candidates, and issues is used to make predictions about subsequent attitudes and consequent voting behavior. Possible communicative influences from a political campaign are explored with regard to their impact on changes in concept relations. Analysis of political changes hypotheses and a critical examination of the methodology are used as the basis for suggesting improvements in campaign communication research.

    Notes: Angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy coupled with synchrotron radiation have been used to measure partial cross sections and angular distribution parameters, β, from a photon energy of 14 to 80 eV for SiCl4. Parallel to these measurements, calculations have been made using the continuum multiple scattering Xα method. The results have been examined, primarily in terms of the phenomena of the Cooper minimum and shape resonances. Minima in both the cross sections and β values were found for each of the first five orbitals of SiCl4: 2t1, 8t2, 2e, 7t2, and 7a1. These minima were examined for their energy positions and, in the case of the β values, the depth of the minimum. Shape resonances were calculated in the photoionization of each of the orbitals, and a number of experimental features due to shape resonances are identified. The results, both experimental and theoretical, are compared with earlier work on CC14.

    Notes: Angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy was carried out on hydrogen iodide using synchrotron radiation. Applying the constant ionic state (CIS) method, studies were made on resonances associated with autoionization between the ionization potential for the two spin-orbit split lone pair orbitals, π3/2 and π1/2. Data on both partial cross sections and angular distribution parameters, β, were obtained for the production of the first ionic state 2Π3/2 (v=0). These data indicate the presence of several series of Rydberg states leading to the second ionization potential 2Π1/2 (v=0). Both broad and sharp resonances were observed. A detailed comparison of the data is made with a MQDT calculation in the range of 10.6 to 10.73 eV. Although theory predicts some of the features correctly, there is much room for improvement. Results on the first excited vibrational state [2Π3/2 (v=1)] are also presented and the effects of vibrational states are discussed.

    Notes: The partial cross sections and angular distribution parameters, β, have been determined for the 2p subshell in SiCl4. These data were obtained with angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy and the use of synchrotron radiation for a range of photon energies from 114 to 150 eV. The same quantities were calculated by use of a multiple scattering Xα method, and the agreement between experiment and theory is very good. In particular, the behavior of shape resonances was well predicted. The nature of shape resonances as a function of molecular orbitals in SiCl4 is discussed, and the importance of such intercomparison is emphasized.
