We say that the object precedes the method. We can not choose a method if the object is unknown. That takes a little appealed on the issue of method in social sciences and their relationship with the object. The importance of this discussion in the field of communication is related to the problem of today still no clarity about which is the subject of communication. With the emergence of media processes, are called to relate the macro and micro social phenomena.
