New Chapter -DN and Diario Madeira newspapers in Funchalk Bombings of 1916-1917

DN and Diário Madeira newspapers in Funchal Bombings of 1916-1917

Abstract:

During World War I, and especially in 1916 and 1917, Madeira experienced a period of particular dependence on the outside world in which insecurity on the Atlantic navigation further increased the isolation of the archipelago and augmented its difficulties of supplies. Diário de Notícias (Madeira), and Diário da Madeira, the main newspapers at the time, played a key role not only informing the public of the German attacks, as well as triggering a staunch regionalist sentiment, by encouraging the recovery and strongly criticizing Germany.

In this paper we analyze the news coverage given to the Bombing of Funchal on the basis of an evolutionary perspective of the implementation of journalistic discourse in Portugal: the use of the discursive basilar principle of inverted pyramid writing. 

Beginning by contextualizing the emergence of Madeiran press on 19th century and by briefly describing the historical event, this paper stresses that, in the context of assumed political revindications by the press, we face the existence of a journalistic discourse where the judgments of an intellectual-journalist are present even though the influence of the anglo-American writing in inverted pyramid is diminished.

XI SOPCOM Congress- November 2019

New Book : "Affect, Emotion, and Rhetorical Persuasion in Mass Communication" published by Routledge

I wrote a chapter "Affective Rhetoric: what it is and why it matters" in the new book edited by Lei Zhang and Carlton Clark  Affect, Emotion, and Rhetorical Persuasion in Mass Communication (Routledge, 2018)

This volume examines the interplay between affect theory and rhetorical persuasion in mass communication. The essays collected here draw connections between affect theory, rhetorical studies, mass communication theory, cultural studies, political science, sociology, and a host of other disciplines. Contributions from a wide range of scholars feature theoretical overviews and critical perspectives on the movement commonly referred to as "the affective turn" as well as case studies. Critical investigations of the rhetorical strategies behind the 2016 United States presidential election, public health and antiterrorism mass media campaigns, television commercials, and the digital spread of fake news, among other issues, will prove to be both timely and of enduring value. This book will be of use to advanced undergraduates, graduate students, and active researchers in communication, rhetoric, political science, social psychology, sociology, and cultural studies.

New Paper:The contribution of Communication Theory to Social Imaginary's Theory

The Contribution of Communication Theory to Social Imaginary's Theory has just been released in ALCEU, vol.18, nº36.

Abstract

This paper examines the potential contributions that communication theory can offer

to social imaginaries theory stemming from the ambiguity which a communicational

perspective encloses. In fact, we can use communication as empirical study of the imaginary

object. But we can also see communication as an angle of analysis capable of mobilizing a

communicational perspective on the social imaginary.

From this second standpoint, there is the possibility of social imaginaries to assume

communicatively determined forms of symbolic interaction (in a broad sense). Indeed, it is

argued that imaginative activity denotes a communicational dimension. To recognize this

communicative dimension of social imaginaries involves considering the role of publicity

in figuration and re-figuration of the social imaginary; and so we advance the notion of

“public imaginal” as imaginative flux, as a field of imagistic and symbolic proliferation in

which we can observe the routes and paths of social imaginaries in their many processes of

differentiation and consolidation.
