Abstract:
This work looks for an understanding of intercultural studies and intercultural communication from a genealogical and critical perspective. It seems they could belong to a functional emerging practice and a discourse for socio-political and economical objectives related to the conflict solving regarding ethnic reclaim and migratory processes. This work is divided into four parts: (1) Beginning of the intercultural studies and intercultural communication as ideology and control; (2) The efforts to develop the intercultural studies and la "intercultural communication"; (3) Consolidation of the paradigm of civilization and barbarism; (4) The media studies and their logic of inclusion and exclusion of ethnicity. To conclude, intercultural studies and communication constitutes a discourse and a functional and instrumentalized practice for the "resolution" of certain sociopolitical and economical conflicts, after the reivindicative and migratory processes.
Keywords: ideology; control; exclusion; intercultural studies; intercultural communication.
