A Pirâmide das RP: Os media sociais e o papel das Relações
This paper explores the relationship between social media as tools used by public relations
professionals and as part of the daily lives of organizations’ stakeholders, identifying
emergent practices in public relations and confronting new perspectives, both professional
and academic, on public relations functions and on its role within organizational
communication.
Departing from the agreement shared by academics and professionals on a profound shift in
public relations as a consequence of the increasingly widespread, intense and frequent use
of social media, this paper intends to clarify the nature and terms of that shift. Two
perspectives are confronted: one of them is focused on emergent professional practices and
regards social media as tools at the disposal of the PR professional; the other is broader in
scope and views social media as a contextual factor that influences both the stakeholders’
behavior patterns and PR practices, thus redefining the role of public relations within
organizational communication. The paper presents results from an exploratory study whose
goal was to identify a conceptual framework for understanding the impact of social media on
public relations.A relevant case study was identified, presenting the solution found by TAP, the Portuguese
airline company, to deal with communication crisis involving the social media and to
successfully manage social media use as a complementary communication channel. TAP’s
social media presence is managed through an articulation of public relations, marketing and
customer support where public relations assume a pivotal role. Drawing on this case study,
we propose the PR pyramid as a theoretical model that redefines the role of public relations
as the orchestrator of the consistent, coherent and integrated communication that is
demanded by the contemporary digital context

When societies crash : a critical analysis of news media's social role in the aftermath of national disasters
Apart from their primary role as news providers in disaster situations, news media can also assume a broader social role. Drawing on a critically informed qualitative content analysis of the Belgian news reporting on a national disaster, the article reveals a twofold articulation of this social role. The first consisted in newspapers highlighting the emotional dimension with potential societal implications of raising compassion and identification. Second, we found a strong articulation of a discourse of (national) unity and community, aimed at restoring the disrupted social order in the disaster’s aftermath. Both aspects were discursively established by a dominant presence of emotional testimonies, strategies of personalization and by the use of inclusive language permeated with references to nation or community. The study highlights the important social role of journalism in disaster situations and events involving human suffering
Narratives of Arab Anglophone Women and the Articulation of a Major Discourse in a Minor Literature
“It is important to stress that a variety of positions with respect to
feminism, nation, religion and identity are to be found in Anglophone Arab
women’s writings. This being the case, it is doubtful whether, in discussing this
literary production, much mileage is to be extracted from over emphasis of the
notion of its being a conduit of ‘Third World subaltern women.’” (Nash 35)
Building on Geoffrey Nash’s statement and reflecting on Deleuze and Guattari’s
conceptualization of minor literature and Gloria Anzaldua’s Borderland(s), we
will discuss in this paper how the writings of Arab Anglophone women are
specific minor and borderland narratives within minor literature(s) through a
tentative (re)localization of Arab women’s English literature into distinct and
various categories. By referring to various bestselling English works produced by
Arab British and Arab American women authors, our aim is to establish a new
taxonomy that may fit the specificity of these works
