De la autorregulación a la Responsabilidad Comunicativa

Abstract

The conceptual delimitation of self - regulation in the context of the judiciary area has usually carrie d out within liberal assumptions. It is based on the individuals� ability to control their private relations, and it is mainly designed to defend the individuals� rights and freedom against powerful actions which may be taken by the authorities. Thus, the self - regulation is considered an efficient legal instrument which puts down to individuals their capacity of establishing the rules of the game which govern the economic and social dynamic, and, in our case, more precisely the communicative one. It is, how ever, quite certain that the basic essentials and development of self - regulation leave out the nature and social function of fundamental responsibilities such as communications and information and therefore it seems convenient to resort to the Communicativ e Responsibility (RC) which, in our opinion, exceeds, though it does not contradict, the legal limits of self - regulation. It moreover influences on the social and socio - communicative demands of the processes of production, circulation and consumption of th e communicative system. This is seen as a subsystem of society which interacts symmetrically with the other subsystems, leaving out, in this way, any other way of dependence
