Abstract

The perspective of communication as a metaphor for understanding the social proposed here the suggestion of a set of questions in the manner of a roadmap for further development and theoretical and methodological unfolding. Among many possible contributions to research communication derived from the thought of Paul Ricoeur we took his notion of metaphor is needed a new offeree, that accrues the equation by which the communication is thought from the social to thinking the social in its contemporary facets from communication, keeping the perspective of dialogical processes.
