"This article outlines the current landscape of research studies on communication and culture in Argentina. Rather than offering an exhaustive and conclusive map of specialists and their theoretical contributions, it is intended to draw relationships between a series of recent sociocultural processes, and the state of communication research and its main lines of approach in the country. Six approaches are used: semiotics, cultural and media history, communication economy and policy, popular cultures, communication, gender and sexualities, and alternative, popular and community communication (APCC). Drawing on Raymond Williams, the article links a movement comprising intellectual traditions, institutions and cultural formations to the activity of scholars who create specialized knowledge on communication and culture."
