Resumen:
Sumario:The aim of this work is to show the relationship between city and communication, beginning with the recognition of some antecedents and ending with lines of analysis based on ethnographic case studies located in different medium-sized cities of Buenos Aires Province, Argentina. We include a theoretical and analytical development concerning the joint between both components. We begin with the intersection between two restricted meanings of city (physical and spatial) and communication (massmedia) that become knotted and allow both apertures. And we refer to an urban range sparsely analyzed by communication studies: medium-sized cities. The apertures necessarily break with those restricted meanings, towards it expansion as significant urban space and production of divergent readings. Finally we re-knot both concepts and project them to public agenda —city and communication policies— and theoretical one, towards a conceptualization about the urban and the communicational, and their connections.In a first part we show how the relationship between city and communication has been addressed —in its emergence and in the present— by communication research and from a dialectic-structural approach about the urban. Then we show the cases of reference to finally reach some conclusions.
