The contemporary narratives would be undergoing a simplifying process, specially noted in the digital media. The present paper makes use of the Czech-Brazilian philosopher Vilém Flusser escalade abstraction concept to point out that this process is not new in the Communication History. Based on field research evidences, collected in 2006 at the Serra da Capivara National Park, the authors analyze the abstraction growth on the rupestrian paintings of the Serra da Capivara National Park, located at Piauí (Brazil) and suggest that the communication synthesis is a common trend that could also be found in pre-historic human groups as they get familiar with the media platform used.
Key words: communication, Vilém Flusser, Serra da Capivara National Park rupestrian paintings.Downloads
