First published in Spanish, Mariano Zarowsky’s study traces Mattelart’s path from his early work in demography and law, through his political engagement in Salvador Allende’s Chile, to his later role in shaping debates in France and globally on media, cultural politics, and transnational communication.The book offers a rich account of Mattelart’s life and work, and the shifting political, institutional, and epistemological contexts that shaped his thinking and progressive activism. Along the way, it illuminates his distinctive style of research in relation to Anglophone political economy and other strands of critical research. In doing so, Zarowsky positions Mattelart as a theorist whose work emerged from—and continues to speak to—global struggles over culture, knowledge, and power and relations between the Global North and South.As the first English edition of Zarowsky’s landmark study, From the Chilean Laboratory to World-Communication, will appeal to scholars of critical communication studies, Latin American and transnational cultural theory, and those working on the history of the social sciences across global contexts. 04 00 Preface to the English Translation - Mariano Zarowsky xi Foreword to the English Translation - Peter Simonson xii Prologue - Héctor Schmucler xliii Introduction: The Intellectual Journey of a Multi-faceted Man 1 Chapter One: Armand Mattelart and Latin American Communication Studies 18 Chapter Two: The Chilean Laboratory: Configuration of an Intellectual Disposition 36 Chapter Three: The Years of Exile: From Popular Unity to the Unité de la Gauche 90 Chapter Four: The Connection-World, or the Cultural Networks of the Popular International of Communication 116 Chapter Five Between the Mitterrand (Dis)enchantment and the Institutionalization of Communication Science 142 Interlude: From the Itinerary to the Cognitive Map 167 Chapter Six: Class Analysis of Communication, or the Critique of its Political Economy 170 Chapter Seven: World-Communication: Knowledge and Power in the Web of Global Hegemony 200 Final Words 230 Bibliography 237 mediastudies.press 01 mediastudies.press 04 01 20251015 02 WORLD 06 15 9781951399504 06 15 9781951399474 06 15 9781951399481 06 15 9781951399498 WORLD 09 mediastudies.press 20 01
