TY - JOUR AU - Russill, Chris PY - 2015/08/19 Y2 - 2024/03/29 TI - Planetary pragmatism? A response to François Cooren JF - Language Under Discussion JA - LUD VL - 2 IS - 1 SE - Discussion Notes DO - 10.31885/lud.2.1.240 UR - https://journals.helsinki.fi/lud/article/view/240 SP - 27–34 AB - <p>In my discussion of Cooren’s piece, I set out to accomplish three things. First, I situate Cooren within a broader horizon of pragmatist thought to discuss how his work aligns with pragmatism. Second, I examine how Cooren deploys pragmatism to constitute a scholarly field of communication theory, a project seeking to transcend the current configuration of the field by systematizing discourse around a “metamodel”. Third, I ask <em>what else</em> Cooren’s pragmatism might do. Pragmatism, according to Cooren, offers us an agentive conception of the world.</p> ER -
