Abstract

From the modernity which made communication secondary and dependent from knowledge and limited at the verbal type we inherited the idea that communication is in the first place a way of sending information. In this case the identity and otherness of the subjects that communicate are a clear and solid one. The postmodern and globalizing concept of communication put in the first place not the process of sending the information, but the building of relations. This ontological model of relationship describes the meaning of communicational reality as virtual, or, more precisely, describe communications action like a virtual reality. In this case the identity and otherness of the subjects that are in relation appear only as a weak occurrence of the modern idea of subject.
