Balance de los estudios culturales en América Latina. La ruta de la comunicación en la definición de objeto

Abstract

This study analyzes the course of the Cultural Latin-American Studies in Communication from a placed point of view (Haraway, 1993). It is an arduous task and, at the same time, a species of earring to the one that neither can him must not even withdraw. An arduous task because the production relative to Cultural Studies has been profuse throughout last 20 years and the cut for the specific case of the Communication needs a differential attention. The debates around the Cultural Studies (CS) are not an innovation and of what we will treat here it is of establishing his object, his more important geographical differences and his offer for the case of the field to discipline of the Communication. Finally, a species of earring to the one that neither can him must not even withdraw, since the problems of definition of object to the inside of the discipline continue having force and the CS have had during these last two decades an important influence in this matter. In synthesis, we will try to plan a map of the Latin-American CS, some of his more mentioned modals, his more important offers, his legacies, his specificity in the field of the Communication and his current condition for, by the end, to outline an offer it brings over of the theoretical object of the Comunicology.
