Expanding a performative perspective on sustainability communication: Applying trans- and counterformative speech acts
In this conceptual essay, we propose an expansion of a performative perspective on sustainability communication by applying Epstein’s (2015) concept of trans- and counterformatives as paradoxical speech acts. While established speech act theory ( Austin 1975 ; Searle 1975 ) has an analytic emphasis on how the performativity of communication is contingent upon iteration and compliance with contextual felicity conditions, Epstein, in his reflection…
Navigating through digitalization challenges in strategic communication: Introducing the Vuca radar
Purpose In recent years, the acronym VUCA has gained traction in strategic communication (SC) as an umbrella term that summarizes the recurrent challenges (volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity) of digital communication environments. However, an integrated reflection on how the VUCA dimensions facilitate a deeper understanding of specific digitalization challenges and how to navigate through these challenges is lacking. This article a…
Prospects and risks of digitalization in public relations research: Mapping recurrent narratives of a debate in fragmentation (2010–2022)
Purpose The debate on digitalization in the public relations (PR) literature has fragmented considerably over the past decade because of its focus on upcoming media-technological innovations, required professional skills and management concepts. Yet the field has difficulties in developing an integrative perspective on the implications of digitalization as a broader socio-technological transformation with a balanced consideration of prospects and…
Overcoming the “blame game” in strategic climate communication: From decoupling accusations toward an arena-spanning agenda
Purpose The climate crisis presents a global threat. Research shows the necessity of joint communication efforts across different arenas—media, politics, business, academia and protest—to address this threat. However, communication about social change in response to the climate crisis comes with challenges. These challenges manifest, among others, in public accusations of inconsistency in terms of hypocrisy and incapability against self-declared …
Between tragedy, romance, comedy and satire: Narratives of axiological progress in public relations
Purpose Over recent years, public relations (PR) research has diversified in themes and theories. As a result, PR presents itself today as a multi-paradigmatic discipline with competing ideas of progress that mainly circle around questions of ontology and epistemology, i.e. around defining appropriate object and knowledge in PR research. Design/methodology/approach This conceptual article highlights a third crucial question underlying the debate …
Strategic Communication and Emergence: A Dual Narrative Framework
The idea that strategic communication is not only planned, but also emergent, has gained increasing attention in the field of strategic communication research. However, embracing the idea of emergence comes with several definitional, methodological, and programmatic challenges. This article responds to these challenges by proposing a dual narrative framework of strategic communication. The framework introduces an approach that explains both pract…

Coming to Terms with Biomedical Technologies in Different Technopolitical Cultures: A Comparative Analysis of Focus Groups on Organ Transplantation and Genetic Testing in Austria, France, and the Neth…
In this comparative analysis of twelve focus groups conducted in Austria, France, and the Netherlands, we investigate how lay people come to terms with two biomedical technologies. Using the term ''technopolitical culture,'' we aim to show that the ways in which technosciences are interwoven with a specific society frame how citizens build their individual and collective positions toward them. We investigate how the focus group participants conce…
Visions and Versions of Governing Biomedicine: Narratives on Power Structures, Decision-making and Public Participation in the Field of Biomedical Technology in the Austrian Context
In recent years, governance and public participation have developed into key notions within both policy discourse and academic analysis. While there is much discussion on developing new modes of governance and public participation, little empirical attention is paid to the public's perception of models, possibilities and limits of participation and governance. Building on focus group data collected in Austria within the framework of a European pr…

The British Invasion: From the First Wave to the New Wave
Randy Newman's Americana
This article is a study of the musical style of Randy Newman, one of the most intriguing singer-songwriters in the United States today. Since Newman's is hardly a household name, let me begin with a biographical note. Born in New Orleans in 1943, Randy Newman moved to Southern California at the age of five and has lived there ever since. While still a teenager he became staff songwriter for a small publishing company, and in 1966 achieved his fir…
