Ha visto la luz el número dos de Anagramas; un parto muy gratificante.
Dos preocupaciones se palpan en este número: el asunto de la escritura, siempre vigente, y el mundo de la organización, núcleo de nuestra preocupación académica. En torno de estos tópicos reunimos una gran variedad de artículos, la mayoría producidos por nuestros profesores a partir de la investigación, la experiencia docente o la práctica profesional. Otros provienen de colaboradores, a quienes agradecemos la deferencia de escribir para nuestra revista.

Communicator” which, –ascribed to the line of corporative communication in the Faculty of Communication
and Corporative Relations of the University of Medellín–, is proposed to characterize the discourse of communicators who perform in the enclosure of corporations, from within the multidisciplinary field of
the Theories of Discourse. For the effects of analysis, the Likert interview and scale-instruments that were applied unto the communicators of the twelve organizations in the City of Medellín that constitute the sample are taken as a base. The proposed thesis is: The corporative communicator seeks to position himself in the
organization as a political subject in order to manage, from within his strategic competition, to consolidate a hegemonic power which is fundamentally sustained in two political referents gestated in the world of organizations: identity and culture on one hand, and corporative image, on the other.

This paper is an approach. Approaching is no moré than taking steps towards the object of attention. It is looking at the distance that separates us from it and trying to reduce it. This is the proposal of this article: an approach to the idea of communication models.
The text is divided into four parts; it is about four approaches. The first part discusses notions over what a model is. It is elaborated from within the view of modeling as a process that is initiated in the idealization to reach the explanation of reality. There the postulates of Mario Bunge are taken in which he proposes that although it would seem paradoxical to explain reality, it is an act that begins with the ideal. The text sets forth that a model is, on principle, a work of fiction, a vision of what is real in order to understand reality. The second part of the paper makes an approach to communication. The author starts by clarifying how the rise of communication in our epoch does not necessarily imply that we now have more of or a better communication. The text approaches a shallow view at the first comprehensions over what communication
is and what it implies. It explains the dimensions of Communications as intra-personal, interpersonal, organization wise and massive. Furthermore, the text briefly sketches a comprehension to the areas of applications to communication.
The third part of the paper is the approach, properly, to the models of communication. Once what a model is has been set forth and it has been investigated over what communication is, the text unites the concepts to make a brief run through the essential models of communication not before determining first what the functions of these models are. The fourth part of the text is an open window...it is an announcement to continuo the study of the models
of Communications.

Upon initiating the 21st century, it is important to consider what in previous epochs was thought that might happen in the future. Science fiction has always been the genre of anticipation, of prediction and it has not only been made up from imagination, for it has tight relationships with science, a fact that has quite often made limits fade.
Science fictions is modern man’s folklore and to understand it is to understand the little of which men think of themselves and their future.
