REDES Tryptych
REDES.COM (Revista de Estudios para el Desarrollo Social de la Comunicación) is a scientific journal founded by COMPOLITICAS. It was set up to provide international academic community with new data and analytical tools for the study and transformation of current procedures in world communication, in accordance with philosophical and cultural principles aiming at the collective socialization of resources, technologies and processes for public information and communication.
REDES.COM is published on a yearly basis with this purpose of contributing to the development of productive spaces for cultural dialogue and the exchange of ideas, allowing the enforcement of an academic culture based on a “language of bonds”.
REDES.COM´s main guidelines are then summed up in 2 basic ideas: a bid for a progressive and emancipating approach to communication and, on the other hand, the intellectual commitment of theory to the needs of the social production of communication as fruitful and democratic cooperation.

PAST ISSUES
Year 2004: COMMUNICATION AND DEVELOPMENT AT THE GLOBAL INFORMATION SOCIETY.
Outstanding researchers and professionals in the field of communication tackle some of the most relevant issues in current communications system debate; that is: communication policies, access rights, telecommunications regulation, media mergers and contents for new Networks, strategies and contradictions in multimedia convergence in the age of global communication, Information Society national development, social uses and participation in the Net, and political economy of digital communication.
Year 2005: COMMUNICATION AND MIGRATION: THEORIES, METHODOLOGIES AND AND PERSPECTIVES.
This issue brings into focus the contributions and scientific outcome of the “Red Internacional de Comunicación y Migración” (=International Network for Communication and Migration), and the research and development projects carried out by the Research Group in Communication and Culture of the Andalusian Research Plan, whose activities date back to year 2000, with the settting up of an interdisciplinary group for the analysis of journalistic discourse. The issue also includes case studies on the representation of migration as a social problem, together with different essays on theory and methodology of intercultural communication research, and journalistic approaches to migration.
Year 2006: FEMINIST THEORY AND GENDER & COMMUNICATION STUDIES.
Critical review on both the foundations and categories of analysis of feminist theory and the epistemological changes taking place in communications theory, this issue aims at re-interpreting and re-building the traditional object of study of feminist and gender studies. Among the questions brought into focus in this issue, we could list: a study of the processes of subjectivity, difference and identity building; organization within various axes of distinction (gender, ethnicity, social class, sexuality, religion, “race”, etc.) as a way of prioritizing diversity against inequality; the exploration of new control mechanisms and social exlusion through communication and the prevailing ideological representations; and, finally, the analysis, on the one hand, of the role of “borders” as communication and resistance practices, and, on the other hand, of the oppositional barriers against social exchange and dialogue.
