Abstract

The following paper reviews how communication for development has evolved regarding its uses and alongside its audiences. It is important to acknowledge an Eurocentric gaze in the application of communication projects for development in Latin America and how this concept has gained new meanings, according to the persons that use it. This paper reviews the origins of the term “communication for development” and the current debate regarding participatory communication, and communication for social change. This essay shows an evolutionary perspective that starts from the closed model conception, focused in a few protagonists to a conception of projects which could be described as more collective, communitary and focused in cooperative work.
