Journal History
The Communications and Arts Department of Escola de Comunicações e Artes of Universidade de São Paulo (CCA/ECA/USP) joins teachers dedicated to several interdisciplinary fields of Communication Science – Communication Psychology, Communication Epistemology and Sociology. Many interdisciplinary researches were focused in understanding the phenomenon of technological mediations, mediatic languages and culture. So, arose the idea of disclosing the research knowledge and results through a vehicle that reached the interested audience – teachers, researchers, educators, producers, artists who wished to obtain information related to this interdisciplinarity – Communication and Education. Thus, it was conceived the idea of creating a journal to enforce the scientific field and professional formation, developing what could be called “media pedagogy”, focused on the communication science, with a multidisciplinary nature and based in transdisciplinarity. To make the realization of a journal with such characteristics viable, it was decided to set a partnership with private publishers. So, the publishing houses Moderna, Segmento, Salesiana and, nowadays, Paulinas, made it possible a journal that is published three times a year, which is already in its 14º year of regular existence. The journal Comunicação & Educação was created, therefore, to go beyond the old fashioned vision by which the area of Education used to approach media. This vision is expressed in rigid and traditional positions, unable to recognize the importance of media or, on the other hand, in a exaggerate fascination by media that can result in lack of criticism.
