Abstract
We do not have, on the one hand, a community with a certain picture of the world that expresses itself in a definable system of symbols and, on the other hand an audience of publicists or academics that interprets and presents this system of symbols. Better, this is only half the truth. The other half is that the picture that develops in public of a particular group exists in a constant state of exchange with the picture that the group generates of itself.1
