Nietzsche, The Gay Science, 1882
Stephen Stockwell has been with Griffith University since 1996 and is
currently an Associate Professor in Journalism and Communication. His most
recent work consists of the manoeuvres of spin doctors, unconventional media in
Brisbane, and new thoughts on deciphering communication theory.
Written in 2006, Stockwell's 'Theory Jamming: Uses of Eclectic Method in an Ontological Spiral' suggests the diversity and contrasts of communication theory can be used positively and provide certain coherence. This occurs when the collective of communication theories is considered as a form of expression of skill, like musicians who play together, unrehearsed, their melodies ephemeral and flexible, exploring ideas and moving towards an increase in feeling and knowledge.
I enjoyed the element of this work inspired by Nietzsche, who provides us with encouragement to leap forward with certainty, from possibility to possibility. Stockwell commends his bravery but realises the necessity for further guidance when dealing with the conflicts within communication theory. The article concludes with five thesis on theory-jamming which include: eclecticism requires ethnography; Enculturation and Enumeration need each other; Ephemera and Esoterica tell us the most; Experimentation beyond Empiricism; Extravagance and Exuberance.
