	The history/theory of spatial communications in the context of the modern media studies. ____________________________________________________________      It is obvious, though not sometimes enough figured out or emphasized, that media are, first of all, the agents for the spatial communications, or just the spatial communication means. They are helping to reduce the spatial distances, to be independent from the spatial circumstances, they are supposed to decrease the spatial continuums.  With the help of broadcasting, media gives the possibility to overlap one spatial options or fragments over the other, or even to insert them into the context of different spatial or environmental situations.  We can receive and percept, being inside our homeland environment, the broadcasted, shooted environmental fragments from the distant lands, the recollected copies from the foreign environments and spaces.  Media have started to develop in a greater extent at particular historical moments, which were marked, as well, by transformations in the spatial perceptions, common changes of the the world visions, the general visions of the spatial and temporal continuum, breaking through the "corporal" forms to abstract, turning to the spatial, transparent, "immersive" vision of reality.  Therefore, introduction of the spatial communications and perception general history, from the archaic pasts to the modernist's spatial experiments, in the course of media studies could be essentially important. Some elements of such a spatial history/theory can be useful for the people, studying both media theory and practice, because in any case they are dealing not just with the simple creating of the visual forms, but with the regulating, organizing or constructing of the spaces, whether they are the spaces of a screen, interface or the telecommunicative environment.>>>>
