A dimension is, in general, a space and a time through which some individuals, who may experience some events, develop their activities. It is an aspect or a facet of something. This text expounds how in the middle of the crisis, Colombia has entered an unknown dimension. Communication has turned into a possibility to search for a new phase for the country, since Colombians have lost hope and started to assume that this is a permanent state and not a circumstantial affair.

The means have been quite inferior to the challenge ex-pounded by society. A nation that lives a reality like ours can hardly boast about having a good communication; there-fore, this text approaches how a Colombian perceives the crisis through his own experience, the experience of others, and through the media.

After expounding facets of massive and alternative means of communication, the text proposes communication as an alternative for the building of a different nation: a task which should be addressed from within institutions, companies, the various community groups to include new perspectives in the processes of intra-personal, interpersonal and mass communication..

The theoretical approach that visualizes in this text does not try to be a finished frame, of the informational society, the production systems and the technology, on the contrary it is the pretext for a boarding of the analysis of these dimensions. In such sense the article proposes the complex glance of the society, the technology and the production systems like expressions that are renamed of dialectic way, considering that? La technology shapes a certain sociocultural organization and the society use the technological innovations that take body in her? In this theoretical approach, the individual relation is not discussed of direct way informational society, nevertheless this is an implicit one that is developed of cross-sectional way in the text. Subject that without a doubt requires a special dedication, since a study of the informational society cannot let contemplate the type of culture and individual that is influenced by this, it having like premise that the human being factory tools and, somehow, the tools also make the human being. This article contemplates three parts: First it presents/displays the informational paradigm from diverse theoretical approaches. In the second part one approaches the production systems that nave predominated in the western society in relation to the technological development and in a third section the technological concept is added/sunk from the glance of diverse authors.

In this article, we talk about intercultural communication from a pragmatic point of view. We will present, in detail, interaction notions, context, culture, and the proxemic theory. These factors will serve as a reflection around testimonies provided by an intercultural communication seminar held at the campus of Lovaina the New, in Belgium. Finally, we will present some notions of cultural shock, negotiation, and meta-communication, as key concepts to face conflicting intercultural relations and for achieving a satisfactory cultural integration.

In Colombia, due to the war for the territory and to violence, thousands of communities are submitted to forced displacements: this uncontrollable force which today, dislocates, expulses, de-situates millions of people from their spaces and submits them to the dictatorship of intolerance.

In the text, The De-winged Goddess, the body is analyzed as a space and the problem of forced displacements is approached from an esthetical and communicational perspec­tive. In the body expressions of the displaced person, there is a projective representation of his story, of his silent duels, the uncertainty that marks him, the problematic which in essence has restricted his liberty, and of the independence to be decided upon.

The collaborative workshop turns into a space for communication amongst the Pares (teachers in Elementary and higher Education) in order to acknowledge themselves and the others with the precise purpose of formulating proposals that would positively affect the Education. For such a case, the workshop –because of the communicational condition itself– allows the proposing of an integration model that would take into consideration not only the areas of knowledge, but rather other institutional levels that should sustain a permanent communication.

A spokesperson is a speech-holder, that is, a person designated by an organization in order to express the authorized messages on its behalf. His/her work is transcendent since the opinion or information delivered to a specific public operates as a guide for decision makings, so that those who receive the message would adopt a position towards the organization.

Much more than mere technical recommendations on how a spokesperson should operate, this text presents some stories and anecdotes in order to illustrate its tran­scendence in the organizational communicative processes, its formation needs, the communication abilities it requires, and some clues so that the organizations make take advantage of their stardom role in critical moments.

This paper pretends to show the transition of the mass culture concept to the mediate culture concept. In that process playes a very important the mass media and the infor­mation and communication technology that moves the person of the communication, who is seen as an abstract and an amorphous person at the mass culture, to a person that produces sense from the consumption like a potential Emerec (émetteur-récepteur): sender-receiver. The development of this concepts will be done through the critical reconstruction of the history development of the analysis of the media and the infor­mation and communication technology. This writing is done from the Communication, thinking it as its fundamental epistemology competence.

En este artículo el autor se ocupa del problema de la inmigración. Ésta es una mirada crítica que parte de la mirada de los medios como uno de los principales instrumentos de construcción de imágenes de identidad y alteridad y por
lo tanto como actores directos de la construcción de la imagen de la inmigración. Las imágenes que se asocian a la inmigración suelen alimentar la estigmatización social de determinados colectivos de inmigrantes. Según el escritor con gran frecuencia se suele representar la inmigración como si fuera una foto fija, sin perspectiva histórica ni sociológica. El problema se plantea
cuando un determinado colectivo aparece en los medios de comunicación solamente en situaciones de conflicto. Esta asociación es tanto o más peligrosa en cuanto se empieza a considerar que el conflicto es inevitable dadas las características culturales de los inmigrantes. Así se empieza a construir un
discurso en que se señala que algunos inmigrantes son incompatibles con nuestra cultura, nuestros valores y nuestro sistema social. Con una visión esencialista y ahistórica de la cultura española se teme que los inmigrantes la
contaminen. La mirada esencialista es ciega y miedosa. Es ciega porque oculta que toda cultura es un producto que se está haciendo permanentemente, a partir de la mezcla de elementos de distinto origen. El esencialismo identitario es también miedoso porque siempre ve la relación entre culturas como una
pérdida. Finalmente, el texto aborda algunas de las recomendaciones del Consejo de lo Audiovisual de Cataluña sobre el tratamiento informativo de la inmigración.
