*CFP* "INFLUENCE AND ORGANIZATIONS: CULTURES", ISSUE 60 OF COMMUNICATION AND ORGANIZATION JOURNAL

Argumentation

Influence as an object of research in social sciences and in communication (Mucchielli, 2009) mobilizes numerous definitions and approaches, putting at their center both the media (Maigret, 2015) and social interactions (Katz and Lazarsfeld, 1955). Through a more instrumental prism, we could say that exerting influence consists in getting others to freely do something that they would not have done spontaneously without a given intervention (Massé et al., 2006). Influence can also translate into the status quo, when the objective is, for example, to avoid mobilization (Gendron, 2014)

Influence can be conceived as the result of an act of communication on an audience’s behavior or social representations (Jodelet, 2003), as the result of a process of circulating ideas and opinions (Heath, 2006), or as a set of practices and strategies aimed at persuasion (Breton, 2008).

*CFP* MONOGRÁFICO "LA DESINTERMEDIACIÓN DEL AUDIOVISUAL", FONSECA: JOURNAL OF COMMUNICATION

Fonseca: Journal of Communication prepara una nueva edición de Monográficos, "La Desintermediación del Audiovisual", por lo que abre convocatoria para nuevas propuestas bajo la coordinación de María Jesús Díaz González y José Juan Videla Rodríguez, del Departamento de Sociología y Ciencias de la Comunicación de la Universidade da Coruña.

El sector audiovisual está inmerso en un proceso de transformaciones que cada vez se producen en menor lapso de tiempo. La tecnología transforma los grupos empresariales, los modos de producción, los modelos de negocio, los procesos creativos, los modos de acceso. Los límites se difuminan: la radio es visual, la tv es textual, las series se asemejan a las películas, y las empresas y profesionales tienen el reto de asumir esta integración.
