The magnitude of these changes is fostering the emergence of new realities which are adding to the individual's sense of uncertainty and are transforming societies in terms of deep structure as well as external forms of organisation. The analysis of these changes involves serious problems due to the complexity of the process and due to its multifaceted, deeply interconnected nature. The First International Conference on Communication and Reality seeks to bring a multidisciplinary perspective to approach these questions raised by the above-mentioned technological change. The Conference will approach this question from four fundamental viewpoints: the economic viewpoint (exchange of goods and services), the cultural viewpoint (exchange of symbols), the philosophical-anthropological viewpoint (exchange pf ideas) and the ethical viewpoint (exchange of values). And all of those, influenced by the recent innovations in the field of communication, the evolution of which has surpassed its initial technical-scientific dimension and ended up provoking a profound cultural and social change of planetary proportions.
