ABOUT THIS JOURNAL

 

Basic information

Punto Cero is an academic and scientific magazine written by the professors and students of the Social Communication Sciences Program at San Pablo Catholic University of Bolivia. It was created in 1994 to specifically broach subjects of communication and culture, and those of social sciences in general. It is part of the Ibero American Network of Communication and Culture magazines.

Even though its name is inspired from the German Hans Magnus Enzensberger’s propositions, it does not entail the radical notion suggested by this author in a postmodern- influenced context, by declaring that the production of senses is set off from a complete communicational vacuum and that meaning is produced only when the receptor’s mind comes in contact with the messages. It is not the contrary, either.

Its objective is to spread the scientific and academic production by professors, students and local, national and foreign researchers, specifically in the communications and cultural area and those of social sciences in general.


Specifically, it proposes to:

  • Promote the production of ideas in the communications area.
  • Inform on the latest studies and propositions in the communications area.
  • Generate dialogues among the different actors involved in the communications area.
  • Contribute in the education of future professionals in the communications area.
  • Strengthen the communications area as a subject of study within the social sciences.

In the first stage (1994/2003) it was published annually. Since 2003, it has been published semiannually. The first semester edition is available until the first half of May. The second semester edition is available until the second half of October.
The magazine publishes research results, case studies, argumentative essays, thought provoking or subject review articles, which deal with general communication topics and / or their relationships with culture, politics, education and development.

Its title’s abbreviation is PC, which must be used in bibliographies, footnotes, captions, and bibliographical references.
