CONFERENCE: COMMUNICATION, EMANCIPATION AND CULTURES

4th - 5th OCTOBER 2014



Research Coordination Meeting convenes in ICAEF COMMUNICATION, 
EMANCIPATION AND CULTURES in Villa Mercedes, San Luis , Argentina the 
4th and 5th October 2014.

Surely the communication phenomena in the framework of the culture in 
which they are embedded , are so rich and complex. Hector Schmucler (one 
of the first theorists to Argentina introduced interesting discussions 
on communication in Latin America ) in his famous text "Research (1982 ) 
: a project and communication culture" emphasizes that in light of the 
dictatorial experiences in Latin America back in 1973 ( military coup in 
Chile) and the collapse of weak Latin American democracies attacked by 
military power , in the context of current American communication for 
development, the green revolution , the Alliance for Progress, in the 
advent of American functionalism the new powers of communication that 
replaced traditional journalism schools . Facing thinkers dependency 
theory , an idea science " scientism " where the study of communication 
were predominantly the content analysis , automatic speech analysis , 
statistics, and formalizations semiological theory of ideological 
respecting the "method" scientist, proposed the idea of framing a 
concept called media / culture.

The context in which Hector Schmucler formalized its initial thoughts 
was one we found in raw Latin American political experience, the rise of 
science and scientism , the emergence and acceptance of different 
theories explaining the mass media from the mathematical theory of 
communication , functionalism and a possible place to think and 
strategic alternatives linkage between communication and culture

The Argentine thinker speaking media / culture as opposed to the term 
communication and culture, according to Schmucler proposes closer and 
strained relationship and announces the impossibility of separate treatment.

Communication was understood not as different ways to convey something 
separable units of information, according to a technical- instrumental 
vision, but the communication understood in the ontological - moral , 
where constituent of the human communication is communion sense. In 
other texts , the Argentine theorist emphasized that communication has 
succeeded in imposing its name to almost everything that man knows and 
performs in the world, and that it is difficult to pinpoint a precise 
place in their conceptual limits .

Schmucler has proposed the construction of a new theoretical space, a 
different way of understanding and stimulate individual and collective 
social practices where communication should be thought as an instrument 
of culture, a link of companies transmitting useful knowledge and a tool 
of civilization.

We call for the submission of papers about:
