The introduction to the edited volume Communication and Discourse Theory aims to reflect on the interaction between discourse theory and the study of media and communication, as well as the Brussels Discourse Theory Group's contribution to it. The chapter starts with a summary of the main tenets of Laclau and Mouffe's discourse theory, and touches upon its methodological/analytical translation in discourse-theoretical analysis (DTA). The next main part of the chapter discusses how discourse theory has been put to use for the analysis of communication and media, distinguishing four thematic areas: (1) communication, rhetoric, and media strategies; (2) discourses in media organizations; (3) media identities, practices, and institutions; and (4) media and agonistic democracy. In the next part, two areas that are currently being developed in the group, and have thus far remained under-developed, are singled out theoretically as well as empirically, from a discourse-theoretical perspective. This includes the relation between the discursive and the material, and the relation between media, communication, and audiences. Finally, the chapter provides a short overview of the other chapters in this book.

The Editorial outlines some characteristics of the development of the Central and Eastern European (CEE) media and communication scholarship during the past 25 years. In the majority of CEE countries, the media and communication research was re-established after the collapse of communism. Since then, a critical mass of active scholars has appeared who form an integral part of the larger European academia. A gradual integration of East and West perspectives in media and communication research is taking place along with moving away from the barely West-centred approach, and utilizing the research done by CEE scholars. Certain 'de-westernization' and internationalization of the research in terms of theoretical and methodological frameworks is depicted. (author's abstract)

Cet article examine la question des médias et d´une politique de communication dans le contexte de ce que l´on nomme maintenant les BRICS. L'analyse des relations entre les pays membres de cette conformation passe par de nombreuses interrogations : s'agit-il d'un réseau ? D'un réseau communicationnel, médiatique, interactif, collaboratif, connecté, horizontal ? Comment les spécialistes de ce thème abordent-ils ce sujet : un nouveau mode de communiquer dans une perspective d'extension des échanges symboliques ou l'actualisation des formes de communication traditionnelles, verticales et restrictives ? ; This paper examines the question of the media and communication policy in the countries now known as the BRICS. Any analysis of relationships between the countries that make up this group raises many questions. Are they a network ? If so, is it a communicational network, a media network, is it interactive, collaborative, connective, horizontal ? How do scholars tackle the subject in their research – are we seeing a new way of communicating with a view to expanding symbolic exchanges, or a modernisation of traditional, vertical and restrictive forms of communication ?
