Comunicación humanitaria para el desarrollo, comunicación socialentre ética y estética. Propuestas teóricas de definición

Zusammenfassung

For decades, development has been an area of intervention and sociopolitical practice and culture in which the process of institutionalization, legitimation, and transformation has affected the practice of research and theoretical reflection of very disparate fields, including the media. In the theoretical and research - as well as social action practices, we find concepts of fuzzy boundaries as development communication, development communication, humanitarian information, etc. From the analysis of two different types of communication (the Spanish NGOs and public institutions for development), this article proposes a reflection on the need to define a theoretical space from which to reflect on communication practices regarding representations on the human suffering in avoidable suffering connected with the sociocultural, economic and political-practices involving ethical-political dimension inexorable and therefore put us in communicative practices can not answer purely to esthetic criteria.
