[ecrea] Special Issue of Communication Theory - last days of free download

A kind reminder that the latest Special Issue of Communication Theory 
(Volume 28, Issue 2) entitled "Latin American Communication Theory 
Today: Charting Contemporary Developments and Their Global Relevance" 
will be available for free download for a few more days.

What are we talking about when we refer to Latin American communication 
studies in Western academic circles? Do we mean knowledge produced in 
Latin America, by Latin Americans, for Latin America? Is it those 
canonical studies written by Latin American scholars, translated to 
English up to the 1990s and widely circulated in the US & Europe? Do we 
mean theory-built based on the investigation of Latin American 
specificities, regardless of where/how the knowledge is produced/put 
into use? Is there a distinct Latin American epistemology pertaining to 
the study of communication?

The latest Special Issue of "Communication Theory" considers these 
questions and contributes to resituating Latin America in international 
communication theory by foregrounding situated approaches generated in 
the region. Downloadable for free until 30 June 2018 at
