The dark desire object or the communicative study of money

A reading hypothesis

Abstract

The objectives of this text are to explore the idea of money as a concept that can be studied from the objects that concern communication, to specify what academic communication research in this discipline has expressed about it and to define the meanings that traditions in communication can have of money. Our general question is what kind of service scholarly communication can provide to financial education and its educators, as well as to research in this field, its agents, interactions, flows, and contexts.
To do this, we conducted three exercises: we defined the importance and basic referents of the semantic field; we surveyed the presence of some of these elements in the CCDOC database of Fuentes Navarro (2014); and the main foundational traditions of communication that appear are identified, to be later defined in the light of Robert Craig’s constitutive metamodel (2016), with the idea of systematizing some definitions of elements of the field in the academic reflection of communication.
