As a scientific community, we the communication researchers of the world aim with our work to contribute to the struggle for democracy in communication systems and strive for political and cultural diversity. In my opinion, promoting such diversity within our association is essential. That is why I celebrate the effort of this meeting. I want to close my lecture in the same way I started it, quoting Renato Ortiz: “It would be ideal to speak all the languages in which the social sciences are expressed. We would then possess not a universality of spirit, but a library at the service of a greater wealth of knowledge”. Thus, I sum up the utopian ideal of this morning with the aim of recovering specificities by making languages relevant, as they are the expression of our worldviews.
