Sumario:The article aims to analyze circulation as an epistemological place to communication research, as the articulation of knowledge. From the theorizing about how to understand circulation in a communicational perspective, the paper discusses three distinct and complementary dimensions of circulation as possibilities for communication theory: a) semiodiscursive perspective, involving discourse analysis and semiotics; b) cultural studies; c) communicational circulation of capital, which is understood as a blindspot in the area. In the articulation between “circulation of meanings” and “circulation of capital”, theoretical and methodological potentialities for the concept in the field of communication are presented, involving struggles for circulation and disputes of meanings.
