The foundations of interdisciplinarity in the Communication Field: an analysis from Compós and Intercom papers

| Sumario: | There are frequent surveys with the interdisciplinary theme in the communication field, but little is known about the framework used for its theoretical foundation. Based on papers published in the annals of Compós and Intercom, between years 2005-2015, and using the bibliometric method of citation analysis, this research aimed to identify the theoretical pillars of interdisciplinarity in Brazilian Communication. Among the main results, it is highlighted, among the cited authors, that the theoretical foundations of the interdisciplinary field are restricted in the communication field, especially in the Compós papers. It was found that the authorship of the texts that support the interdisciplinary discourse in Compós articles is predominantly restricted to authors linked to only one Brazilian university and texts with authors of the communication field itself. There were no strong influences, as measured by citations to classical texts in the fields of philosophy, education, sociology, etc. Papers of Intercom, by contrast, there was the identification of reasoning on interdisciplinarity in other fields and other national and international authors, however, also in a limited fashion. We emphasize the importance of mobilizing authors to better theoretical foundation in communication studies, whether in interdisciplinary or opposite subject. It was found that in both cases, the reasoning of the speeches indicates weaknesses and short reach of theories. |
