Strategic communication of Brazilian federal universities: structure and performance of communication departments

2025-06-20T19:13:42-03:00

This paper presents the results of data collected from managers of communications departments at Brazilian federal universities, characterizing the
structure and (strategic) performance of these sectors. The research is descriptive, carried out through bibliographic and documentary research and
application of questionnaires. Thus, we observe strengths of the departments, such as the training of managers in the area of communications and
characteristics favorable to strategic communication, including the activation of the consultancy by the university management and weaknesses, such as the
tendency to centralize the activity and the absence of a communication policy, which may indicate a shortage in the area and even a lack of professionalization.

Latin American indigenous cinema, cosmopolitics, the common and comunalidad: the struggle in the films of Luna Marán and Bia Pankararu

2025-01-20T10:10:44-03:00

This work focuses on the cinema of Zapotec director Luna Marán and screenwriter Pankararu, Bia Pankararu, focusing on the theme of struggle present in the feature films Rama Pankararu (2022) and Tio Yim (2019). This approximation between the two works seeks dialogues about the representation
of the symbolic and material struggles that surround the routine of these Amerindian peoples from Mexico and Brazil. For this analysis, concepts such as cosmopolitics, from the perspective of Isabelle Stengers (2018), and the common, from the perspective of Silvia Federici (2014) and Raquel Gutiérrez (2017), will be used as an instrument to reflect on the ways of living and of fighting present in the cinema of the directors.

What have we been thinking on Communication theory teaching? A bibliographic exploration (1979–2017)

2025-06-20T16:20:57-03:00

What has been written on Communication Theory teaching? This text outlines aspects of the literature on the teaching of Communication Theory in university courses, as presented in academic articles, presentations at events and chapters of books published between 1979 and 2017. From the initial bibliographical research, fourteen productions related to the theme were located, distributed over five decades. The analysis of the texts suggests a recurrence of the concerns of professors with three main aspects of teaching: (1) epistemological, related to what constitutes “Communication Theory” as an
autonomous university discipline; (2) pedagogical, related to the contents to be taught in a course and (3) didactic dimension, focused on the discussion of
strategies to promote student engagement in the classroom.
