Abstract

Modernity as civilization and culture systems involves cognitive consensus. This study will describe how media supported the set up of consensus and became a very important nexus between interpretation and meaning production. The main issue of the text is related to the ways which Latin America developed modern arguments and its trend to gather different propositions into a few discursive forms, provoking a sort of convergence narrative. Despite the increasing of specialization in intellectual and physical work, in Latin America the legitimacy of social shape and even the construction of identities were deeply conditioned by the arise of media. This idiosyncrasy turned out to be an alternative to the logo centric cognitive schemes.
