Comunicación alternativa y comunitaria. La conformación del campo en Europa y el diálogo con América Latina.

This article maps the main historical traditions and contemporary debates in the field of alternative and community communication in the European and US contexts, and compares these research frameworks with Latin American theory with the aim of finding similarities and differences. Based on comparative research and critical literature review, this work raises the need for building bridges between European research and the long tradition of Latin American studies in order to strengthen an interdisciplinary and interregional dialogue.
