NOS-ALDAS, Eloísa  and  FARNE, Alessandra. Transgressive communication for social change: Performative epistemologies and cultural efficacy. Convergencia [online]. 2020, vol.27, e12720.  Epub May 29, 2020. ISSN 2448-5799.  https://doi.org/10.29101/crcs.v27i0.12720.

This article addresses the concept of cultural efficacy as a paradigm of Communication for Peace and Social Change, heir of the epistemological turn developed by Vicent Martínez Guzmán’s Philosophy for Peace. This paper reviews his legacy of peace research as a proposal of dialogic, committed, transformative and interdisciplinary social sciences that define the role of communication in the social fabric from discursive-performative and cultural conceptual and methodological approaches. Finally, we apply this theoretical review of communicative responsibility to a first exploratory study on the refugee and migration crisis.
