Abstract:

Abstract The work of Jesús Martín-Barbero is known for carrying out dislocations and ruptures. Shifts from the traditional places where the questions are asked. Ruptures with the reductionist and manichaean responses “to the right and to the left”. The result can be summarized in a work of theoretical-methodological construction known as nocturnal map, a cartography to explore the mediations – that is a milestone from which to study the new complexities in the relations between communication, culture and politics. The article has epistemological and methodological content, with respect to the concepts and processes of mediation. With this aim, we analyze the various methodological maps of the mediations that have accompanied the changes of the structural relations between communication and society and led to the improvement of the theory of mediations.
