| Sumario: | In the second half of the seventies, a group of South Americans that came from a more questioning branch of the intellectual realm participated in the formation and development process of the Latin American Institute for Transnational Studies (ILET). This article aims to rebuild the conditions upon which the ILET emerged and developed from 1975 to 1984. It intends to do so by taking an Intellectual History and Sociology of Culture perspective and by following the path of a group of specialists that were part of the Division of Communication and Development of the Institute, namely Juan Somavía, Fernando Reyes Matta, Héctor Schmucler, Nicolás Casullo, and Alcira Argumedo. In the period mentioned above, the ILET became an endorsed voice in the global debate for a new information order. Indeed, these intellectuals took part in esfera pública internacional popular de la comunicación and built transnational networks of discussion and theoretical production, making the ILET a Latin American cultural formation. Furthermore, the trajectory of ILET´s intellectuals allows reconstructing a chapter of a broader history of Communication Studies in Latin America and of the Latin American Lefts of the time. |
