Este trabalho examina o perfil de parte relevante da produção científica da área de Comunicação e Política no Brasil a fim de elaborar um balanço acerca dos avanços e dos entraves epistemológicos e metodológicos comuns às abordagens investigativas mais recorrentes no país. O argumento está dividido em quatro partes. Na primeira delas, discutem-se problemas de fundo teórico, apontando-se desde a imprecisão na definição dos objetos até certa desatualização conceitual. Em seguida, a proposta se debruça sobre as falhas que caracterizam algumas das opções metodológicas mais empregadas em pesquisas da área. A terceira seção avalia as consequências dos estorvos anteriormente verificados, mencionando-se, por exemplo, a tendência a elaborar generalizações equivocadas sobre os efeitos políticos da mídia. O texto é encerrado com um tópico disposto a endereçar sugestões que podem colaborar na resolução de parte dos problemas aqui tratados. |

This paper examines a relevant part of the Brazilian scientific production in Political Communication in order to assess the epistemological and methodological advances and flaws that have featured this area of expertise. The argument is divided into four parts.

Next, the text focuses on some of the most common methodological options found in empirical studies present in the field, diagnosing the predominance of a descriptive emphasis. The third section reflects on the consequences of the burdens previously pointed out: for example, research findings that tend to overestimate media effects. We conclude our argument by addressing some suggestions that may help to solve part of the problems here outlined. |
