Abstract

The articles in this special issue address some of the conceptual innovations and controversies raised by the late Jesús Martín-Barbero's (1937–2021) combative and generous spirit. These introductory remarks provide an overview of Martín-Barbero's academic and public intellectual contributions. Specifically, we examine his personal, political, intellectual and cultural trajectories as they lead us to a core category in his thinking: mediations. We also present the essays in this issue to show how Martín-Barbero's work is valuable and fundamental to understanding the contemporary moment in Latin America, the Caribbean and perhaps beyond.
