Thinking Pencils: a merging foundation between Gregory Bateson and Eliseo Verón

Abstract

This paper seeks to present the contributions that Eliseo Verón has made to the field of communication. The originality of the paper lies in making reference to Gregory Bateson as the intellectual influence behind Verón´s academic legacy. This is not the conventional synthesis made when analyzing his work. The paper will be divided in three different parts: Ideas, Moments and Interpretant in accordance to the triadic line of thought that characterized Charles Peirce. The conclusions drawn from this analysis will allow us to appreciate the complexity of the ideas we are faced with when thinking about the future of our field.
