Sumario:The notion of communication-world condenses the intellectual project that Armand Mattelart conceived in France towards the end of the 1980s and that was later developed with creativity and determination in the following decade. This notion is introduced and developed in his trilogy: Mapping World Communication (Mattelart, 1992/2003); The Invention of Communication (Mattelart, 1994/1995); Histoire de l’utopie planétarie (Mattelart, 1999/2000).. Since the mid1980s France saw the spread of a discourse that believed that communication can explain the social; placing Mattelart’s theoretical contribution in this context will allow us to account not only for the conditions that fostered his ideas, but also for their singularity and productivity to understand contemporary social organization through a critique of culture and communication.
