A natureza intersubjetiva da comunicação

Starting with a critic of the transmission, message and content metaphors, very common in communication studies, this paper defines the intersubjective activity as the specific domain of communication. Starting from the reader’s experience, It tries to define the inferential nature of the logic, which guides the phenomena expressing this activity.

Experiência moderna e comunicação

On the assumption that different forms of experience are ideal types and not mutually exclusive concrete realities and that, therefore, they coexist in all times and in all societies, this text aims to show that it is not in the context of modern experience, but in traditional experience, that communication works. After explaining this hypothesis, the author tries to define the problematic nature of the relations between modern experience and communication. Key words: experience, communication, modernity, tradition.
