A Semio-Pragmatic Approach to Communicative Competence: Navigating Shared Meaning in a Multimodal World
In pragmatics’ core lies the assumption that grammatical competence it is not sufficient acknowledge the broad-spectrum of language use. We must also consider communicative competence: whereas grammatical competence points to the ability to create and understand grammatically correct sentences, communicative competence relates to the capability to produce and understand sentences that are appropriate and acceptable in a particular situation. This…
Public Intimacy on social media -extimacy as connected presence
The modern experience of intimacy and sociality is being radically transformed, impacting not just the quality of social relationships but also the experience of the self and the borders between private and public expressions of the self. Social media are prime aspects of today’s intimacy practices. They fulfil a need and desire for (remote) communications and a feeling of (mediated) connection. The contemporary transformations regarding intimacy…

Este artigo apresenta as principais correntes de pensamento dos estudos da memória e traça as atuais implicações pol…
The Hybrid Rhetorical Ethos
There are three main schools for the study of the ethos: the pragmatic-discursive; the symbolic interactionist, and the rhetorical one. This paper aims to give an encompassing and fuller perspective on the rhetorical ethos that can be useful to the contemporary uses of the persuasive communication, including media communication such as advertising or marketing communication. Primarily, it outlines the conceptual employments ethos has suffered by …
Variability of Lower Limb Artery Systolic–Diastolic Velocities in Futsal Athletes and Non-Athletes: Evaluation by Arterial Doppler Ultrasound
Background : Sports athletes, namely high-intensity practitioners, suffer from vascular remodeling overtime. The purpose of this study was to analyze the systolic and diastolic velocities' variation between non-athletes and futsal athletes by means of arterial lower limb doppler ultrasound. Additionally, we intended to verify if the velocity variations occur primarily at the systolic or the diastolic level and in which arteries. Methods : Seventy…
Formas emotivas do discurso persuasivo
Tal como a Retórica no-lo ensina, as emoções (pathos) estão no centro do discurso persuasivo. A racionalidade argumentativa da retórica não exclui as emoções como elemento fundamental do processo persuasivo. Primeiro, porque razão e emoção andam a par no que diz respeito ao raciocínio e à tomada de decisão, tal como demonstrado por vários estudos de Neurociência e de Psicologia Social. Em segundo lugar, porque a própria persuasão envolve uma moda…
Journalism as a field of discursive production – performativity, form and style
By focusing on the emergence and development of journalistic conventions and professional routines it is possible to understand the prominent role of journalism in the social construction of meaning. In this article, we theoretically examine journalism as a special field of discursive production. The field of journalism presents more than the facts it gathers and reports. The institutionalized retelling of events is a very distinct way to put mea…
Um contributo da Teoria da Comunicação para a Teoria dos Imaginários Sociais
O presente artigo analisa as potenciais contribuições que a teoria da comunicação pode oferecer à teoria dos imaginários sociais a partir de um debate acerca da ambiguidade que uma perspetiva comunicacional encerra. Com efeito, podemos utilizar a comunicação como objeto empírico de estudo dos imaginários. Mas podemos, igualmente, apropriar-nos da comunicação como ângulo de análise capaz de mobilizar um trabalho comunicacional em torno dos imaginá…
Visibility as a key concept in Communication and Media Studies
The concept of visibility has become a problematic one as hypervisibility gave rise to new forms of opacity that are formed not through secrecy but by its opposite, pan-visibility. Paradoxically, by amplifying visibility, media create new forms of invisibility. An analysis of visibility will provide us with a precise perspective how these processes occur. In this paper, we suggest three lines of empirical and theoretical investigation in the topi…
Political Cartoons as communicative weapons – the hypothesis of the “Double Standard Thesis” in three Portuguese cartoons
Political cartoons are a powerful communicative weapon. They can distract, joke but they can also provide social commentaries on key aspects of reality. Although not always acknowledged, cartoons are a key element on political communication. In this paper, we investigate editorial cartoons potential to political communication and take them as communicative artifacts capable of enhancing political comprehension and reconceptualization of events, t…
Pode uma imagem ser um argumento
Em sociedades dotadas de uma forte cultura visual, urge interrogar a legitimidade de estender a noção clássica e logocêntrica de “argumento”, até domínios não discursivos ou linguísticos, como é o caso dos fenómenos visuais. Contribuindo para discussão lusófona acerca do potencial argumentativo das imagens, este artigo argui que, embora nem todas as imagens possuam uma forma argumentativa, tal não nos leva necessariamente a supor que nenhum argum…
Visibility regimes in mediatized publicness
Considering the relationship between politics, media and publicness, this paper ponders the consequences of visibility in the political field. Identifying some of its existing regimes, it will posit that today visibility plays an ambivalent function to politics: it can simultaneously operate as a synoptic monitoring and control of politicians; and at the same time it may stand as an opportunity to build a charismatic leadership. In fact, politica…
Popular Television in Authoritarian Europe
another clear example of how economics and technology can have a determining influence on televisual style' (p. 142).Indeed, Cooke draws mainly on the production conditions, touching at the same time on elements of the specified milestones in technological progress, not without setting these into a considered dramaturgical context on the basis of meaningfully selected examples.On the edge of what is feasible, manual craft behaves like art, and in…
O imaginal público: Prolegómenos a Uma Abordagem Comunicacional Do Imaginário
Neste trabalho procuramos delinear alguns aspectos que evidenciama dimensão comunicacional do imaginário. Isso significa que precisamos de prestar atenção ao modo como o imaginar colectivo modela a realidade social e como a publicidade colabora nesse processo. Sugerindo uma ligação estreita entre o imaginário, a sociedade e a publicidade, nomeamos "imaginal público" ao conjunto dinâmico, simbólico e complexo de imaginários diversos e heterogéneos…
Validity and Reliability of an Equity in Health Care Scale

The study was developed in a district of the northern interior of Portugal, with 6,113 participants. We resorted to Cronbach’s a…
O Presenteísmo: Meditações atuais sobre comunicação e temporalidade
We detect with special keenness in contemporary societies the close relationship between communication and temporality. Indeed, communication technologies (with their telecommunication and their networks) brought a singular temporal experience of social life. In this paper we ponder the influence that the present time inflection (based on instantaneity and immediacy) brings to communication. Highlighting, on the one hand, journalism and, on the o…
O arquétipo publicitário
Procurando ampliar a ideia de um princípio de publicidade para além da sua estrita modelização crítico-política, habitualmente designada por Esfera Pública, esta reflexão considera a qualidade pública como uma constante universal da vida social em todas as culturas humanas. É precisamente pelo fato da publicidade se assumir como uma dimensão comunicacional fundamental da organização das sociedades que ela é aqui perspectivada enquanto pilar arqué…
The public as social experience
What the concept of public means today? We seek to contribute to this debatesearching for a third-way of appraisal: the public is neither a simple audience constitutedby media consumers nor just a rational-critical agency of a Public Sphere. Weargue the concept should also be seen in at the light of a publicness principle, beyond acritic and manipulative publicity.In accordance, the public may be regarded as the result of the social activities ma…
Uma modernidade-outra ou o hipermoderno
A contemporaneidade vive, ainda, sob o espectro da modernidade, seja como ruptura - exemplificada pela pós modernidade - seja como amadurecimento - exemplificado pelos diversos prefixos que se acoplam à "modernidade" para indicar a continuidade do seu projecto. Este artigo visa discutir a experiência do nosso tempo a partir da perspectiva de uma modernidade-outra mas modernidade ainda: a hipermodernidade. Em contraste com o projecto pós-moderno, …
