Is there a red thread in Latin American critical thinking? The Latin American School of Communication today

The current Latin American scenario, marked by the advance of the new right, the concentration of media groups and their operations-especially the power of fake news associated with scandalous lawfare cases-, within the framework of socioeconomic and cultural disasters of neoliberalism, and a global pandemic raise new questions about how to think about contemporary media culture. In this context, rethinking our reality from the point of view of communication acquires an urgent meaning. Two questions will guide our work. What are the categories of Latin American critical communication thought that we must return to in order to think about the contemporary crossroads? Is it possible to think about continuities and limits in relation to decolonial thinking?
