<i>Dos meios às mediações</i>: Jesús Martín-Barbero na teoria da comunicação da Unisinos

This text, a mixture of essay and memory, seeks to situate Jesús Martín-Barbero and his influence in the teaching of communication theory in the courses of social communication in Brazil, based on the work developed at Center of Communication Sciences of the University of Vale do Rio dos Sinos (UNISINOS). The thinking of Martín-Barbero is put together with other seminal thinkers of the area in Latin America: Beltran, Kaplún and Pasquali. It reflects the course taken before the book, De las medios a las mediaciones, emphasizing Jesús Martín-Barbero’s fundamental contribution to teaching and communication research.
