Unveiling the Reasons for Asymmetrical Dialogue: Exploring Exclusion in the Field of Communication

Abstract

The processes of exclusion within the field of communication on the basis of gender, race, language and, above all, geographical contexts, has been a constant. Several empirical studies confirm the marginal contribution of 1% of Latin America to the central production of the field in the most highly indexed journals. This article presents a reflection to understand the logic of exclusion that has led to this marginal participation, despite the valuable contributions made in the continent. The article concludes with an invitation to bet on a plural, broad and inclusive research agenda.
