This is a theoretical article that aims to contribute to a debate on the concept of mediation in Roger Silverstone’s work. According to Silverstone, mediation is a multiple, transformative and asymmetrical process, which involves technological and social dimensions. Mediation is fundamental for the ways we relate to the other in everyday life and it has ethical implications. In this paper, I review some notions of authors as Raymond Williams, Martín-Barbero and Nick Couldry, which inform and/or dialogue with Silverstone’s ideas. Some key points in this discussion highlight the need for criticism based on the challenging of mediation, what demands a reflection on our relations with the media and their representational modes.
