Communicology of the South
This book addresses new conceptual bases for thinking critically about communication as a necessary way in which to confront power, property and the market as part of the daily resistance of Latin American subaltern cultures. The chapters research an urgent field of situated knowledge and spark a much-needed dialogue. The editors view emancipatory communication experiences as disruptive acts of resistance, prompted mainly by social movements. These experiences have opened up political modes of communication by establishing a decolonising axis in the field of communication and reconstructing the history and memory of Latin America. This book is a valuable reference for researchers, academics and students interested in the role of communication and culture in processes of social transformation.
Communicative Justice in the Pluriverse
This volume examines communicative justice from the perspective of the pluriverse and explores how it is employed to work towards key pluriverse goals of environmental, cognitive, sociocultural, sociopolitical, and political economy justice. The book identifies and explains the unequal power relations in place that limit the possibilities of communication justice, the challenges and difficulties faced by activists and communities, the ways in which communities and movements have confronted power structures through discourse and material action, and their successes and limitations in creating new structures that promote the right to, and facilitate a future for, communicative justice. The vol...
Decolonizing Journalistic Knowledge
In the EU, the prevailing academic and scientific thought models, as well as communication processes and journalism, are deeply Eurocentric. Martín Oller Alonso critiques these structural issues, focusing on post-communist Central and Eastern Europe's recent EU members. He argues for a decolonization of knowledge and a journalistic-other approach, blending local sensibilities and collective imaginations. Emphasizing deliberative communication, his study offers fresh media and communication theory perspectives, relevant to professionals and researchers in various fields, addressing the challenges and opportunities in the European Union amidst globalization and cultural integration.
The Media In Latin America
Looks at important media systems in Central and Latin America. This book includes media history, organization, structure, the interrelationship of media and state and the relationship between media, culture and society. It focuses on an aspect of the media specific to each country, eg soap opera in Brazil and violence against journalists in Chile.
The Economic Value of Spanish
The growing economic entity of Spanish as a language of international communication, serves as a starting point for an extensive study which has been promoted since 2006 by Fundación Telefónica under the broad heading: ‘The Economic Value of Spanish: a Multinational Business’. This book is the culmination of the first phase of this investigation. Intended as a conclusion to the previous instalments (9 books have preceded it), this work, as well as evaluating and recapping the main contributions previously discussed, includes, as a corollary, considerations on how to design a policy in relation to the international impact of Spanish.

The Handbook of Global Interventions in Communication Theory
Moving beyond the U.S.-Eurocentric paradigm of communication theory, this handbook broadens the intellectual horizons of the discipline by highlighting underrepresented, especially non-Western, theorists and theories, and identifies key issues and challenges for future scholarship. Showcasing diverse perspectives, the handbook facilitates active engagement in different cultural traditions and theoretical orientations that are global in scope but local in effect. It begins by exploring past efforts to diversify the field, continuing on to examine theoretical concepts, models, and principles rooted in local cumulative wisdom. It does not limit itself to the mass-interpersonal communication divide, but rather seeks to frame theory as global and inclusive in scope. The book is intended for communication researchers and advanced students, with relevance to scholars with an interest in theory within information science, library science, social and cross-cultural psychology, multicultural education, social justice and social ethics, international relations, development studies, and political science.
