{The And} is an interactive documentary series developed and produced by The Skin Deep.  Partners are provided a set of question cards, which are used to spark a conversation about some aspect of the relationship.  Viewers are provided an opportunity to examine the dynamics of these relationships, all of which feature real people with real emotions.  As such, this series is an appropriate channel for observing and analyzing real-life interpersonal communication in a variety of relationship types.   The purpose of this assignment is for you to analyze a relationship or conversation utilizing and incorporating interpersonal communication concepts and theories discussed in class.   Guidelines: ·      Select one video (minimum 8 minutes in length) to analyze that features a discussion regarding some aspect of relationships. Discussion topics range from falling in love to breaking up, coming out, sexual experience, etc., so you will have a wide variety of topics to choose from. o   Videos can be found on The And playlist on YouTube, which you can access here: o   For more information about the goals of The And project, visit https://www.theskindeep.com/ ·      Analyze the communication regarding that relationship experience using at least one theory (e.g., Communication Privacy Management) or two related course concepts (topic avoidance and secret-keeping). ·      Incorporate at least 2 scholarly sources relevant to the theory or concepts and use them to frame your analysis. Note: you may use the textbook, but you should still find 2 scholarly sources and incorporate them into your paper. ·      Explain how the theory or concepts can be used to understand the interaction in the video or how the people in the video demonstrate the concepts in their communication. Include examples from the dialogue (e.g., direct quotations) as evidence to support your observations. ·      Include the following elements in your paper: o   Introduction – identify video you selected with the link and the concepts or theory you will use to explain the interaction. In two sentences, provide a brief explanation of the video you selected. o   Explication of theory/concepts – define your theory or concepts in detail, and discuss the relevant literature by including your two scholarly sources o   Video analysis – describe the interaction and relationship featured in the video and explain how the interaction demonstrates the concepts or theory. This section should include examples from the dialogue to illustrate the concepts or theory. o   Evaluation – Evaluate the conversation that took place. For example, did the individuals engage in effective communication? What things did each person do well?  in what ways could they improve? Creativity is encouraged – what other things did you notice in the interaction?  How might we use this interaction to better understand communication in similar relationships?

Schemata such as prototypes, personal constructs, stereotypes, and scripts can all influence how we communicate. Find an example in the media (commercial, scene in a movie/TV show, etc.) that features two or more of these schemata, and how it influenced the social situation in the media clip.

Let’s do an experiment this week. I’d like you to spend time with someone and take note of the metamessages you send to one another about the status, depth, direction of your relationship.  Write a paragraph of two describing what happened and what messages they delivered to you nonverbally (reading between the lines counts as nonverbal) that affirmed, maintained or somehow changed the nature of your relationship.   You may be describing a micro-incident. These are real and have meaning. A meaning deep enough to break up friendships, get you fired, ruin a marriage, or on the positive side begin relationships, deepen friendships, nail a job interview, and give a friend who is feeling lousy a reason to get up another morning and keep going. The people you know who are good communicators implicitly understand how to communicate with metamessages!  And some fully understand it and can explain it to others. Lets join the club and start communicating more effectively. Post your story and then respond to someone else. Tannen: The concept of metamessages traces to Gregory Bateson’s essay “A Theory of Play and Fantasy.” Bateson explains that “human verbal communication can operate and always does at many contrasting levels of abstraction” (1972, 177–78). He illustrates “the seemingly simple denotative level” with the sentence, “The cat is on the mat.” He illustrates what he calls “the metacommunicative level” with the sentence, “My telling you where to find the cat was friendly.” Bateson’s notion of metacommunication is key to his seminal concept of framing. He explains that during a visit to the Fleishhacker Zoo in San Francisco, he observed monkeys at play and wondered how a monkey knew that an obviously hostile move, such as a bite, should be interpreted as play. He concluded that monkeys have a way of communicating the metamessage “This is play,” thus allowing another monkey to correctly interpret the spirit in which a bite was intended. In other words, the metamessage signaled the activity the monkeys were engaged in. Applying the concept of metamessage to human interaction, Bateson further explains, “In these, the subject of discourse is the relationship between the speakers.” He notes that “the vast majority” of metacommunicative messages are implicit rather than explicit. When I refer to messages and metamessages in spoken interaction, I am adapting Bateson’s framework to distinguish meaning at two levels of abstraction. I use the term “messages” to refer to what Bateson described as the “seemingly simple denotative level,” that is, the meaning of the words as they would be decoded by a dictionary and a grammar. My use of the term “metamessages” derives from his concept of metacommunication, in which “the subject of discourse is the relationship between the speakers” and is overwhelmingly implicit. That is, metamessages communicate how a speaker intends a message, or how a hearer interprets a message—what it says about the relationship that one utters these words in this way in this context References Bateson, Gregory. 1972.
