The professional who is cultivated for the fields of Public Relations and Organizational Communication

Abstract

The binomial Public Relations and Organizational Communication enables approaches that involve dimilarities, differences and complements between both areas, which can be considered as two fields, much more as a result of their configurations than of what their relevant knowledge represents. Both of them undergo tension, dispute for opportunities, and experience their own internal and external struggles, according to the sociologist Pierre Bourdieu. They also presume cultural capital for the professional performance in reality. The text proposes to approach matters involving the scientific field and the cultural capital as a contribuition to conceptual debates in both areas.
