Abstract

The Social Sciences set the communication concept down in a secondary place, resulting in an analysis of the social processes without the relevance required by the institucionalities and the communication processes, especially if one evaluates the contemporary societies, highly capillarized by the communications technologies. The present paper proposes to discuss this issue and to provide a theoretical experimentation on the field of Political Sciences’ contiguity, aiming at giving to communication a central role, so it can strongly become a constitutive part of the notion of democracy.
