III Pan American Congress of Communication
"Commercial Integration or Cultural Dialogue in the context of the
Information Society"
July 12 16, 2005
UNIVERSITY OF BUENOS AIRES
The College of Communications Sciences from the University of
Buenos Aires has organized the III Pan American Congress of Communication.
The aim is to further develop a line of thought guided by the presentation
of academic reflections which, on the basis of a multidisciplinary
approach, proposes the discussion of communication problems in a richer and
more diverse environment than that found in the discussions on business
agreements or government meetings.
The III Pan American Congress of Communication was a product
of the First Colloquium on the Culture and Communications Industry at NAFTA
and Mercosur, organized by José Marques de Melo in Brazil, and the Second
NAFTA-Mercosur Meeting, organized by Joseph Staubhaar, at the University of
Austin, Texas. Professor Gaëtan Tremblay suggested organizing a third
meeting which went beyond the logic of the agreements limited to a set of
countries, and to invite the representatives of all Latin American
countries to take part in the dialogue. The First Pan American Colloquium
of the Communications Sciences, The Cultural Industries and the Dialogue
between Civilizations in the Americas", held in Montreal, was a complete
success. In September 2003, the II Pan American Meeting was held in
Zacatecas (Mexico), organized by Professor Delia Crovi Druetta.
One of the main objectives of the III Pan American Congress of
Communication is to make people aware of the need to discuss the problems
of democratizing communication and the increasing difficulties faced by the
Nation States to develop cultural policies to promote citizen participation
and access. In 2005, the McBride Reports approval by the UNESCO General
Assembly will celebrate the 25th anniversary. Today the McBride Report is
still the main international document on communication policies. The
convergence of the cultural industries with the telecom and information
technology industries, and the increasing weight of the supranational
organizations on the decisions about media-related policies underscore both
the enduring validity of the McBride Report for its democratizing nature
and, at the same time, the need to update its diagnosis and conclusions.
The Congress includes keynote presentations, and round tables or panel
discussions for researchers to present their work on communication and
culture. The Opening Session will be devoted to analyzing the continuities
and upheavals regarding communication and culture policies since the
approval of the McBride report. The keynote presentations will move around
two core themes: "Cultural and Communication Policies in the era of
regional integration", and "Citizenship, Participation, Democracy and
Cultural Diversity in the face of the Information Society". The first theme
will focus on the analysis of current communication and cultural trends;
the second theme will focus on how the changes in the political and
economic structure of culture have significantly modified the citizens
perception of their relationship with the different regional cultures. The
Congress also aims at drafting a document summarizing the concerns
expressed during the meeting, document which may subsequently be sent to
the IV Summit on the Information Society, to be held in Tunisia in late
2005. The Closing Session will analyze the different strategies regarding
communication and culture policies in face of the advent of the so-called
Information Society. The thematic blocks will help organize the
presentations that scholars researching communication problems send to the
Congress.
