Estructuralismo histórico, economía política y teorías de la comunicación: notas sobre la trayectoria del pensamiento crítico latinoamericanoEstruturalismo histórico, economia política e teorias da comunicação: notas sobre a trajetória do pensamento crítico latino-americanoThis paper identifies the first school of communication criticism and Latin American structuralism as theoretical bases of the political economy of communications (PEC) and Brazilian culture. In reference to the career of Luis Ramiro Beltrán, specifically his work La revolución verde y el desarrollo rural latinoamericano—in which he discusses the category of demonstration effect—, the theoretical limitations of this school are analyzed after identifying the structural nature of underdevelopment in Latin America. Thus, starting from the need to show the double contradiction of capital (capital/labor and economy/culture), the PEC raises the problem of the role of mass media at the level of social mediations, based on capital's adoption of popular culture elements that—passing first through a moment of primitive knowledge accumulation—will later constitute the industrialized culture. Then, the cultural industry emerges as the mediation authority that characterizes monopoly capitalism, and this is where, supported by Celso Furtado's theory of cultural dependence, the Brazilian PEC exceeds the constraint already recognized by Ingrid Sarti when she stated that the idea of mass culture conceals the existence of a class culture.Para citar este artículo / to reference this article / para citar este artigoHerrera-Jaramillo, M. y Bolaño, C.

Así, partiendo de la necesidad de evidenciar la doble contradicción del capital (capital/trabajo y economía/cultura), la EPC pone el problema del papel de los medios de comunicación de masas en el plano de las mediaciones sociales, basados en la apropiación por parte del capital de los elementos de la cultura popular que, pasando primero por un momento inicial de acumulación primitiva de conocimiento, constituirá posteriormente la cultura industrializada. Emerge, entonces, la industria cultural como la instancia de mediación característica del capitalismo monopolista, y es precisamente allí, apoyado en la teoría de la dependencia cultural de Celso Furtado, desde donde la EPC brasileña supera la limitante ya identificada por Ingrid Sarti, al plantear que, bajo la idea de cultura de masas, se encubre la existencia de una cultura de clase.Para citar este artículo / to reference this article / para citar este artigoHerrera-Jaramillo, M. y Bolaño, C.
