In this article, presented on April 13, 2007, in the International
Seminar “Freedom of expression in a democratic societyâ€, organized
by the Human Rights Study Center of the UCV at the Auditorium
Fundación JardÃn Botánico, UCV Caracas, Venezuela, I was grateful
for the opportunity to address, as a communication specialist, one
of the largest and most systemic topics of contemporary politics,
freedom of expression. This problem, multi and interdisciplinary
almost by antonomasia, needs more and more plural approaches,
all the more in countries with special situations such as Venezuela.
Therefore I took this infrequent occasion to participate in the debate
with a methodological preamble which I consider unavoidable,
as would be revisiting, for the purpose of aggiornamento, some
ontological and gnostical bases of the topic in question.
