In the trail of discourses: thinking communication

Abstract

This article proposes to deal with some possible articulations between the conception of discourse – from different theoretical perspectives – and the communication area in their relation with the media. When we think about this study area from the interfaces with the concept of discourse, we conceive it as mediation. The word «media», used to define many contemporary communicational productions, indicates this relation: «media, medium, middle point» - an intermediate place that indicates the articulations between distinct terms, specially facts and reports, establishing imbrications between producers and receptors of these discourses that change the traditional ways of thinking the relations between each one and each others ones.
