Abstract

In a tour of thirteen chapters and two hundred and twenty pages, Erick Torrico Villanueva proposes in his work (Re)humanizing Communication: decolonial route, edited by the International Center for Higher Communication Studies for Latin America (CIESPAL), another way of doing and thinking about communication hand in hand with decoloniality as a perspective. Torrico takes up the utopian legacy of the rebellious decades with a view to developing an episteme of its own, alter(n)ative, that allows not only to break with the totality that the Western model of Communication poses as part of the modern/colonial project, but also to enable a academic field that re-signifies and recognizes, from the historical-territorial subalternization of the subjects, the Latin American communication phenomena and processes in pursuit of re-humanization, which, consequently, encourages an authentic democratization and an ontological liberation for the re-existence.
