Queering PR: Directions in theory and research for public relations scholarship

Pages 134-145 | Received 08 Jan 2017, Accepted 10 Feb 2018, Published online: 20 Mar 2018
 

ABSTRACT

This article presents an historical overview of queer activism and inquiry, advocating for queer theorizing in public relations, and outlining future directions for theory building. It proposes making public relations theory queer (challenging the heterosexist foundations and presumptions that constitute theory in public relations) and queering public relations theory (challenging the discomfort in theorizing sexuality and gender identity). This article is intended to be provocative and to serve as a disruption to contemporary public relations theory; it is a cry for radical rethinking of how we come to identify, define, and understand the discipline.

Este ensayo presenta una visión general histórica del activismo y la investigación queer, abogando por la teorización queer en las relaciones públicas, y delineando las direcciones futuras para la construcción de la teoría. Propone que la teoría de las relaciones públicas sea queer (desafiando los fundamentos heterosexistas y las suposiciones que constituyen la “teoría” en las relaciones públicas) y la teoría de las relaciones públicas homosexual (desafiando la incomodidad de teorizar la sexualidad y la identidad de género). Este ensayo pretende ser provocativo y servir como una interrupción a la teoría contemporánea de las relaciones públicas; es un clamor para un replanteamiento radical de cómo llegamos a identificar, definir y comprender la disciplina.

本论文介绍了同性恋行动主义及调查的历史性观点,倡导公共关系中同性恋理论并为这一理论建立的未来方向提出刚要。论文提出公共关系理论同性恋者(挑战蔑视同性恋者的异性恋者的基础以及在公共关系中构成这一“理论”的假设),进而破坏公共关系理论(挑战在性以及性别识别方面理论给人不适应)。本论文具有挑衅性并致力于瓦解当代公共关系理论,高呼人们对如何去识别、定义并理解这些行为准则进行彻底的重新思考。
