Construction of Research Guides from the Books of the Educomunication Collection (Paulinas Publishing House)

Abstract

The collection on Educommunication (by Paulinas Publishing House) became consolidated in the occasion of the publication of its fifth volume. The set of publications includes two books by singe authors (Educomunicação: o conceito, a aplicação, o profissional, by Ismar de Oliveira Soares, and Educomunicação: recepção midiática, aprendizagem e cidadania, by Guillermo Orozco Gómez) and three compilations (Educomunicação, construindo uma nova área de conhecimento, by Adilson Citelli and Maria Cristina Costa, Educomunicação: imagens do professor na mídia also by Adilson Citelli, and Educomunicação: mais além dos 2.0, organized by Roberto Aparici). Three books were published by Brazilian authors and two by foreigners (Latin American and European). The collection was organized a decade after the redefinition of the concept by the Center for Communication and Education Research at USP (Fapesp, 1999), and it was published when the legitimacy of Educommunication has increased, either with its inclusion in public education programs, such as the municipal education of the city of São Paulo, or with the consolidation of the subject as an object of academic research.
