Mass and digital media (Technologically Mediated Communication) have been one of the most decisive motive forces in the transition from Modernity to Postmodernity. It has helped to change the nature of power that has evolved from the capacity to define reality for a few groups to a greater participation in the selection and exclusion of social imaginary elements. Social movements represent this diversification and more participation in the social construction of reality. This article proposes the theoretical tool the communicative paradox for explaining how communication works in a social level and how it is possible to explain society from a communicational perspective (communication as the primary and constitutive social process). The paradox, the symbolic power and the role of counter-ideologies (social movements) are three elements for the social theory of communication proposed in this paper
