Abstract

In developing brevity as a theme, I am motivated by the question: How can we communicate the most information within the tightest spatial boundaries? Autoethnography seems especially well positioned to take up this question within the communication research tradition, because the boundaries within which we communicate (online and offline as well as individually and collectively) seem to be rigid as ever. This short article hopefully carves out a space where, within the boundaries of a specific moment, there is much to consider inside of a tight spatial window. Space, time, and place exist within a socially constructed communication landscape, and I hope this article motivates a dialogue about where and how and why we communicate as we do.
