HEILMAIR, Alex Florian. A communicology map. The foundations of the study of human communication according to Vilém Flusser. Cuyo-anu. filos. argent. am. [online]. 2020, vol.37, n.1, pp.45-71.  Epub 16-Dic-2020. ISSN 1853-3175.

The Brazilian-Czech philosopher Vilém Flusser dedicated more than 30 years of his life to the study of human communication, called by him as “communicology”. Flusser proposed a theory that considered the existential, anthropological and historical character as a central aspect of all communication. To this end, he sought to align social and cultural organization with communication theory, defining it as the study of how man processes, stores and transmits culturally acquired information. This paper intends to present a mapping of the foundations used in the communicational study (concepts and methods). For this, there will be considered two different moments of the author's work: the first, which covers the reflections of youth, synthesized in the 1970s while he lived in Brazil; the second, which covers the mature reflections of the 1980s and 1990s while he lived in Europe.

Palabras clave : Communicology; Communication theory; Culture; Vilém Flusser.
