The objective of the article is to understand how CLOC, Via Campesina and ALBA Movements are articulated as popular apparatuses of hegemony and act in their struggles providing engagement with the common from Latin America. We discuss the role of community and popular communication in the construction of popular hegemony and analyze how these popular organizations used their digital platforms to organize their speeches, their struggles and contribute to the formation of public opinion. Methodologically, we carried out a nonsystematic and empirical exploratory bibliographical research through the observation of digital platforms of the selected organizations and documental analysis of texts from the three organizations that signal their understandings about the common and political crises in Brazil and Peru.

Rescuing the Latin American contribution to studies on the relationship between Education and Communication--which resulted in the identification and consolidation of Educommunication, as a new field of knowledge--this article resumes the "Areas of Intervention", as historical modalities of application of the practice educommunicative, already identified in the first researches on the concept (Soares, 1999), in order to deepen the analysis of a new area called "Education for Transcendence", identified and implemented by educators involved in integral formation processes as a space of action expressly aimed at understanding the human being as a relational being, open to different forms of communication, in search of meaning for what he does, learns and experiences.

The purpose of this article is to describe the bibliographic foundations of technological convergence of communication in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) in order to analyze the feasibility of the use and application of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in the communication activities of the region's society. The methodology used for the design of the article was documentary research, which made it possible to compile information from primary and secondary sources to consolidate a document characterized by its content on the technological convergence of communication in LAC. Among the results found in the literature, the technological gap in LAC countries in terms of access to the Internet and other types of technology such as 5G for mobile technology is highlighted; only CDMA and 3G or 4G technology is covered in some countries, a problem stemming from the lack of policies and laws regulating access to technology, especially in rural areas. The conclusions refer to the need for LAC countries to achieve technological convergence in communications in order to have opportunities for development in all areas, but especially in the exchange of information and education. Ecuador, as part of this technological backwardness, must better regulate its media and access to them so that it is equitable throughout the nation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article initially rescues Paulo Freire's influence on the development of a Latin American epistemology of communication, and then proposes the systematization of a theory of communication underlying the work of the Brazilian educator. Thus, it gives rise to a circular approach to communication, as opposed to the linear approach, fundamentally inspired by Habermas's theory of communicative action. It also demonstrates the need to unfold Freire's thinking and include other references, such as those from indigenous and traditional cosmologies. It also responds to a greater approximation between the theories of communication and knowledge, with a look at epistemological diversity and interdisciplinarity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The field of communication, in Latin America and the Caribbean, does not have a single path; In this context, the totalizing arguments are always shown to be unnecessary. On the other hand, there are perspectives that point, as alternative or popular communication paths, to practices and experiences of journalism, other perspectives show work experiences both in the state media and in the development of public policies, which can be incorporated as work paths that seek to unite communication and emancipation.

Social Communication studies in a broad sense, which have already covered a century in Latin America, were enriched in their beginnings with political, social and cultural dimensions -sometimes in tension- as well as with a set of theoretical and methodological perspectives that allowed them to develop prospective, to anticipate the future. Such possibilities have gone through a journey that has not left them immune to the impact of the ways of building power of neoliberal capitalism as well as its socio-cultural legitimations. The article attempts to show how the traces of this worldview have impacted and put at risk the density of the field itself. Hence the thought of the slippage of critical reason to the rise of instrumental reason. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Te objective of this paper is to contribute to the current theoretical and conceptual debates that address the technopolitical phenomenon. Specifically, it addresses the processes of appropriation and use of information and communication technologies that the new indigenous movements carry out in the Latin American continent, whose central purpose is to confront the colonial matrix of power that governs the functioning of the modern-modern-colonial-capitalist world system. It is found that technopolitics emerges as a praxis of antagonistic struggle in contexts of intercultural conflict, which demands the design of research agendas that attend to the specificity of local processes that, "from below", dispute the meaning of interculturality.

This study analyzes the radio communication practices of ALER, its historical construction, the approach and accompaniment to communities and subalternized sectors of Ecuador, Latin America and the Caribbean; From a qualitative approach and a non-probabilistic sampling, semi-structured interviews were conducted with local and international managers, a matrix was built to review the discourse present in the sound narratives of the flagship programs and see what the social contribution is from the contents. ALER has been an icon in the conceptualization of communication and popular radio, its work allowed the organizational development, and subsequent political recognition of indigenous, Amazonian and Afro-descendant leaders and communities. However, what is popular and community is underestimated, since the biggest challenge is competing with content that goes viral easily without a major content proposal. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper presents the results of the review of publications on urban communication and communication and city in Latin America and Spain. The aim was to identify the theoretical approaches and potential research guidelines for study this field. The results include the relationship between communication-city-urban from transversal categories of study such as language, discourse, social interactions and media, through processes of representation, spatial mediation, symbolic appropriation, marketing, urban transformation, citizen participation, and expression of senses. In conclusion, from perspectives as the sociological, political, cultural, economic, human and technological, since the 90's have been able to consolidate a large variety of research that ratify urban communication as an field of multidisciplinary study which contributes widely in discussions on the problems brought about by the growth of cities.

This article analyzes the objects and dominant perspectives in the field of communication for the development and social change in Latin America according to the preliminary results of a bibliometric study of the articles published on the subject in ten Latin American journals on communication noted in the h-index of Google Scholar. From these results and the literature review of the bibliography for reference in the field -anthologies, special issues and founding texts-, a map of the main problems and approaches in the study of communication, development and social change is presented. With this material it is intended to discern the epistemological boundaries of the field and establish dialogues with other disciplines in the social sciences. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article proposes a new emphasis on the research and educational work of the Latin American communication discipline in the study of communication practices and their close relationship with alterity and social change. The communication practices include the media dynamics and its mediations, and they go beyond including actions and everyday expressions of extraordinary richness and diversity associated to cultural networks and complex meanings. Those communication practices illustrate, expand and deepen the ceaseless efforts of creation, transformation, restoration and conservation of meanings, networks and relationships beyond the instrumental. They promote profound changes and the construction of alternatives to an unjust, destructive, colonial and exclusionary social order in Latin America. The study of the communicative practices for social change, especially in Latin America, opens opportunities to access other forms of knowledge and action alternative to modernity, such as comunalidad or good living.

The following article offers an analysis of educational research through networking as a way to integrate teaching practice and educational research. It begins by describing the network society in terms of its meaning and the changes in education resulting from global dynamics. The pedagogy of educational research is then analyzed as the core of the problem, since the way a learning process / paradigm is conceived determines how the resources and actors in educational research are organized and deployed. With this idea in mind, an introductory analysis is presented of three examples of educational research; namely, Designing Educational Research, the Activity Theory and Networks of Teachers Who Develop Research from their Schools. Several proposals derived from a literature review are presented by way of a conclusion. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Written for an oral presentation, this article is a counterpoint between images and features in which some reflections are offered on present studies and the contexts of transformative action of communication in Colombia with look at Latin America. For its development, the article was inspired by the eye of Luis Ramiro Beltrán, who made one of the first evaluations of Latin American communicative knowledge. The article makes a final call based on determining bets which are committed to the future. [TRANSLATION]

The democratization of communication is a historical concern in communication studies and practices in Latin America. However, since late last century, there are novel experiences of citizen participation in this area. One of the signs of citizen involvement in communication problems are the pressures in several countries to reform the broadcasting laws. The article discusses the practices of organizations that propose to reform legislation on audiovisual media services in South America. Focusing on the practices makes it necessary to refer to the conditions of their emergence and the social agents that produce them. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article brings reflections about the role that media plays towards the frontier culture and identity constructions, considering the differentiation and approximation regarding Brazilian national frontier spaces with its South American neighbors. Besides analyzing the local communication media, the paper also is based on the local voices, which reveals that the same media becomes a participant in the Latin America integration process and in the symbolic construction of the frontier phenomena and the frontier person.
