Abstract

In this article, we will discuss three articles wriiten by Georg Simmel for the Berlin press, driven mainly by his anguish toward the First World War: “The Idea of Europe”, published on March 7h, 1915 in the Berliner Tageblatt, “Europe and America in World History”, published on November 1st, 1914 in the Internationale Wochenschrift fur Wissenschaft, Kunst und Technik. Simmel´s production for the press presents an important source of material for communication studies, specially because of the freedom from which Simmel addresses the general public, without abandoning the fundamental concepts of Sociology. One result of this research shows the conflict as a key component to communication processes, since dissent, disagreement and struggle imply the understanding of communication codes from both parts.
