Context, Communication, HistoryAbstract
The article discusses the difficulties of thinking about the notion of historical context in the field of communicational research. We speak with propositions of language theories that reflect on language, its performative character and its materialization in the media, and the theory of history, especially the tradition that pursues continuities and discontinuities of a cultural history. Our discussion is based on two basic propositions: 1) the way in which the concept of context, understood automatically, imposes a referential quality to the historical text in the studies of the communicative phenomenon that exactly hides its communicational aspects; 2) The understanding that reversing the perception of the media as part of a socio-historical "background" to that of a "figure" of a cultural history can strengthen the reflection on historicity in the field of communication. Such a movement may contribute to the illusion of the context being transcended by a heuristic perspective in the field of communication research.
