O diálogo Norte-Sul em teoria da comunicação: hegemonias, apropriações e resistências nas pesquisas anglo-saxônicas e latino-americanas.

Based on literature review, this paper compares some epistemological matrices of the Anglo-American and Latin American research on communication. The goal is to outline an overview of the theoretical repertoire of each space. The analysis is developed in three axes: (a) the context of each research tradition; (b) the epistemological matrices, stressing method and object; and (c) the difference in the research orientation –sometimes focusing on the means, sometimes on the processes– and the issue's disciplinary contribution. In the end, we emphasize the possibility of seeking dialogues beyond the North-South axis to reflect on communication. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
