Description
Summary:In this paper we intend, first of all, to briefly reconstruct Michel Foucault's analysis of the modern episteme, and secondly, to analyze some traces we identified in certain texts of the French thinker, to reconstruct the contemporary episteme. In order to achieve our purpose, we analyze the work of some Post-structuralist French thinkers and Mass Communication Research. Finally, we conclude that the event that gives rise to the configuration of Western knowledge and the conformation of the contemporary episteme is related to both, sense and information, which contribute to outline the contours of the characteristics of man and language in the new episteme.
