Abstract

To understand urban processes as processes of communication, we need to think how the media has turned into a constitutive part of urban life and also think as fears have lately been incorporated in the new communication processes. Then arises the need to confront two equally serious prejudices: one that comes from communication scholars and other that comes from violence and fear experts.
This text, first published in Colombia, and later in other countries, was reproduced in the edition n. 1, 1998 of this journal, in Portuguese, with author's permission, obtained in September 1997. The translation was made in 1997 by Lucio Sergio Vilar de Oliveira and Manuel Gustavo Gianoli.
