Abstract

Communication, as a knowledge discipline, consists in the analysis of an interdisciplinary object of study, which requires the integral conjunction of other fields of scientific knowledge without losing its essence and specificity. This paper is the result of a critical revision of the numerous studies that have, in the first place, considered the communication as a science; secondly, envisaged the diverse communicative processes and understood the social phenomena from different perspectives. Finally, they have considered the communication science as an interdisciplinary field whose study requires an epistemology with a methodological pluralism that leads to the solution of problems through applied research. Nowadays, the communication research has taken diverse forms; those who study the uses, practices, social representations and the production of sense of the communicative phenomena, face the dilemma of choosing the adequate way to study a social phenomenon, which is the object or subject of the communication.
