Description
Summary:The text claims for an understanding approach to Comunication Studies, its object and theories. Although this approach does not give up reason and science, it goes against the dominion of its explanation as a rule in discourses. This text also makes the point against the use of concepts as a one-size-fitsall solution which denies the right to creative intuition, to create interpretative notions, symbols and images; to the right to go through interdisciplinary and also transdisciplinary territories. The article also criticizes the current mainstream ideas about communication, since it is the heir of a rational view of the real world, of events and life.
