BRUNO, DANIELA PAOLA  e  GUERRINI, LUCÍA. Culture and post-development: Communication approaches, paths, and challenges for new possible worlds. Signo pensam. [online]. 2011, vol.30, n.58, pp.128-141. ISSN 0120-4823.

This study presents the conceptual bases for a reflection whereby one can debate and produce knowledge concerning the increasing economic and political exploitation of culture vis-à-vis development. The authors analyze, on the one hand, the agendas, discourses, and guidelines of supranational organizations and institutions that have decisive clout; and on the other, the systematization and spreading of the experiences undertaken by social movements that see culture as a strategic dimension or resource to achieve sociopolitical transformations. Among these conceptual bases, the following can be mentioned: development as a disputed historical social construction; post-development as a fruitful approach to create discourses that go beyond the hegemonic construction of development; culture as a political battle field, and communication research as an alternative to multiply the centers and agents that generate know-how.

Palavras-chave : Culture; communication; development; post-development; committed research; Communication and culture; Social development; Investagation in communication.
