Communication needs Philosophy. An interview with Humberto Orozco-Barba

Abstract

An enthusiast of documentary photography, he began studying Philosophy and then went into the fields of Communication and Education. He directed audiovisual productions, wrote books and articles on Communication and Postmodernity, revived historical photographic archives, taught Communication in graduate and postgraduate degrees, studied contemporary urban collectives of his city and, for more than 10 years, has been the corporate communications manager of one of the most important universities in Mexico: ITESO (Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Occidente). Humberto Orozco-Barba combines thinking and doing, and has achieved products of communication from the University’s community —a difficult, diverse and critic community— that have earned him national and international recognition.
