Abstract
After examining some recent publications from very different parts of the world on the much needed conceptual and practical renovation of research on communications, we propose a reflection on the Latin American conditions in order to take on the implications of what is known as the “centrality of communications” and reorganizing academic structures, but having in mind a better defined orientation vis-à-vis relevant social “goals” in order to counteract some dangerous trends such as what we can call “shallow immediatism” or “technologism” when studying media and communications.
