The Communicational Construction of Reality 39 linked for a long time to what is referred to here as rationality, that rationality is what explained, in quotation marks, commu- nication, when in fact my position is that these concepts are not applicable. We don’t explain, we don’t give an opinion about it. We are feeling and somehow we try to express it through art, through unconventional formulas of communicability, which are expressed in an indirect way through art, communication, poetry, manifestations until then considered minor in our area. Well, I don’t have much more to say about it, but it’s a topic that I invest a lot in it. That was it. Jairo: Thank you verymuch, Ciro, thank you verymuch, Braga.

So that we don’t fall into the situation of just analyzing what is happening, into the trap. Ciro: I want to say that the question is very important, not only for her but for all of us, researchers. A question that I think bothers all of us because it provokes us, it makes us think about what we are actually doing at the university. Because so that it doesn’t become merely bureaucratic work, which I think is the anguish of all of us and that needed to be worked on at every moment. I was particularly attacked by this kind of rest- lessness that led me to rethink the issue of communication be- cause my previous studies were dispersed studies in relation to their object.
