Abstract

This project proposes a postdoctoral research to investigate the state-of-the-art in the field of Communication Policies in Spain, which may be identified in the works of consolided researchers as well as in its use in other researchers' works. We aim to identify analysis keys and methods which may also be applied to Brazilian research, focusing the digitalization of the media and in the phenomenon of culture industries, which may allow for improving and sophisticating the Brazilian production in that field. The research will also include technical visitations to other research and development institutions, in order to create new interinstitutional cooperation bonds and to allow for the creation of an international network for researching Communication Policies, as well as ministering a course for the postgraduate students of the Universidad de Sevilla.
