Abstract

This article is a refl ection upon the presence of case studies in research on the fi eld of communication, relating them to the evidentiary paradigm. It considers as traits of this epistemological model: case studies; the search for evidence in order to grasp more complex phenomena; the distinction between essential and accidental evidence; and the articulation among diff erent pieces of evidence in order to build inferences. As for the articulated evidence, it considers the construction of interpretative models on two levels of inference: about the internal working rules of a case and about its inclusion into contexts that might be of interest to the researcher.
