Abstract

MARTIN SERRANO, Manuel. When and how did the Theory of Communication become scientific. Comun. soc [online]. 2019, vol.16, e7477.  Epub June 12, 2019. ISSN 0188-252X.  https://doi.org/10.32870/cys.v2019i0.7477.

The Theory of Communication was reconstructed over the last century and has now found its own place among scientific knowledges. This article describes the technological innovations in the field of information and communication than inspired such a reconstruction, and how they have determined their object and scope. This paper shows the correspondence this theoretical production has with the reported social changes during the time that globalised monopoly capitalism substituted industrial capitalism.

Keywords : Theory of Communication; Information and Communication Technologies; Social mediation.
