ABSTRACT

The article reviews the main concepts and dilemmas illustrating the debate on the connections between media and politics. Considering that experiences in Political Communication are manifested in unique ways in different democracies and scientific cultures, we also examine how historical, social, and political aspects are intertwined with the development of the field in Brazil – reinforcing the need for de-westernizing media studies. Although we do not expect to exhaust state of the art, we hold that this is a helpful discussion since it outlines the agendas and trends of a specialty that has become more complex, tackling the question of to what extent widely accepted concepts are able to explain the roles of the media in Global South societies.

摘要

这篇文章回顾了说明关于媒体与政治之间联系的辩论的主要概念和困境。考虑到政治传播的经验在不同的民主国家和科学文化中以独特的方式表现出来，我们还研究了历史、社会和政治方面如何与巴西该领域的发展交织在一起——加强了对媒体研究去西化的必要性。虽然我们不希望穷尽最先进的技术，但我们认为这是一个有益的讨论，因为它概述了一个变得更加复杂的专业的议程和趋势，解决了广泛接受的概念能够在多大程度上解释的问题媒体在全球南方社会中的作用。
