Exploring articulation in internal activism and public relations theory: A case study

Pages 19-34 | Received 01 Jan 2015, Accepted 24 Nov 2015, Published online: 01 Feb 2016
 

ABSTRACT

This paper answers Dozier and Lauzen’s (2000) call for critical theoretical examinations of activism and public relations to provide new perspectives and avoid the paradox inherent in organizational-level analyses. It also fills a literature gap by examining a case of internal activism, Girl Scout members protesting the use of palm oil in Girl Scout cookies, thus blurring organizational boundaries and rejecting Us/Other dichotomies. The basic precepts of the cultural-economic model (Curtin & Gaither, 2005, 2007) are expanded to provide greater heuristic power to the model (Curtin, Gaither, & Ciszek) and to delineate a more nuanced understanding of the public relations/activism relationship.

Explorando la articulación en el activismo interno y la teoría de las relaciones públicas: Un caso de estudio: Este documento responde a la petición de Dozier y Lauzen (2000) de exámenes teóricos críticos de activismo y de relaciones públicas para proporcionar nuevas perspectivas y evitar la paradoja inherente a los análisis a nivel organizacional. También llena un vacío de literatura mediante el examen de un caso de activismo interno, los miembros de Girl Scouts que protestaban sobre el uso de aceite de palma en las galletas de Girl Scouts, que difumina los límites organizacionales y rechazándonos a nosotros/Otras dicotomías. Los preceptos básicos del modelo cultural-económico (Curtin y Gaither, 2005, 2007) se expanden para proporcionar un mayor poder heurístico para el modelo (Curtin, Gaither, y Ciszek) y para delinear una comprensión más matizada de la relación entre las relaciones públicas/activismo.

探究内部能动性与公共关系理论的衔接:个案研究:本文回答了多齐尔(Dozier)和洛赞(Lauzen)于2000年对能动性和公共关系的批判性理论研究之呼吁,以为组织层面分析提供新的视角并避免内在矛盾。它也通过检查内部能动性的案例,例如,女童子军成员抗议在女童子军饼干中使用棕榈油,填补了文献的空白,从而模糊组织边界和拒绝美国/其他的二分法。在文化经济模型的基本戒律(科廷与盖瑟,2005,2007)被扩展到为模型提供更大的启发力(科廷、盖瑟以及慈泽科),并描绘出一个对公关/能动性关系更细致入微的理解。
