Abstract

In this paper, divided in two parts, we discuss the validity and the possibility of scientific discourse within a context ruled by mediatization and immediacy in communication. In the first part, a brief incursion is undertaken on the issue of epistemological matters. In the second part, by means of an empirically minded exercise, we attempt to demonstrate that the excessive mediatization of information prevents an accurate and properly grounded view of the events, that is, it hinders, even within an academic context, the scientific character of narratives.
