The aim of the article is to analyze the representations about Stroessner and his government in the Brazilian newspaper O Globo between the Paraguayan dictator presidential inauguration in August 1954 and the exile of Argentine president Juan Domingo Perón in Paraguay between October 2nd and November 2nd, 1955. Perón's exile aroused the interest of the international press and led O Globo to analyze Stroessner based on the anti-Peronism that existed in the Brazilian liberal press. For the Paraguayan opposition, it was an opportunity to denounce the authoritarianism that exists in the country. The article proposes a reading of the Stroessner dictatorship from a transnational perspective. Furthermore, it points to the existence of questions about Stroessner in the Brazilian press before the deepening of Brazil-Paraguay relations during the government of Juscelino Kubitschek (1956-1961).

Public relations is an activity that deals with two central dynamics: that of understanding the phenomena of public opinion from a reading of the publics that are formed due to controversial and relevant issues at the collective level, and that of managing the public visibility of organizations and of people. The configuration of a strategic communication goes through a process of tension and permanent dispute between institutions, organizations, public persons and publics for what appears or does not appear, for what is or is not visible and for what is or is not discussed, as well as for what is likely to appear, be seen and discussed. Our special interest lies in the vulnerabilities of publics to factors that silence them, but also it is important to connect this issue to deliberate silences, to processes of institutional concealment, that is, of what is withdrawn from the public's view or from the which impels them to ignore reality. This is a complex and nuanced process. One that calls our attention is described by Zerubavel (2006). When dealing with these dynamics, he focuses on a phenomenon metaphorically postulated as "the elephant in the room", to talk about something that, despite being in plain sight, is ignored and not discussed. It is a very complex phenomenon, which involves, on a collective level, what he calls "conspiracies of silence" and a discrepancy between what we experience in reality and what we end up publicly recognizing, that is, in the public's perception. Therefore, in this work we focus on two important aspects that are raised by the author: indisputability and the emergence of "silence breakers". To do so, we take Operation Lava Jato as an empirical case, especially the Curitiba nucleus. Launched in March 2014, with the aim of dismantling criminal organizations that operated in money laundering in several Brazilian states, the Operation consisted of a set of investigations and their consequent lawsuits, involving the Federal Police, the Federal Public Ministry and the Federal Justice in Curitiba, São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and Brasília, in addition to superior courts and other control bodies. The most famous nucleus, however, is that of Curitiba, which brought together, from the beginning, the then Public Prosecutor Deltan Dallagnol and the then judge Sergio Moro. In 2023, the media and the political scene are moved by denunciations regarding Lava Jato maneuvers and abuses. Former deputy and Operation whistleblower, Tony Garcia, went to the media to reveal the coercion, extortion and persecution suffered during the years of Lava Jato. In this episode, we can more clearly identify what Zerubavel calls "breaking the conspiracy of silence", as it is the appearance of people in the role of breakers who will consistently offer testimonies and evidence and who will in fact point out, with the force of denunciation, the existence of the "elephant in the room" in a complete and irrefutable way. Thus, we will dwell here on analyzing the appearance, in the public scene, of Tony Garcia's media speeches. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This work aims to investigate the approaches to inclusion and accessibility in the Public Relations undergraduate programs offered by Brazilian public universities, filling a perceived gap in the literature in the area of communication and in studies on inclusive education in higher education, whose focus is generally on teacher training through undergraduate courses. Assuming that people do not have disabilities, but rather limited by the society through the many barriers imposed, which frequently prevent them the exercise of their full rights as citizens. In this context, we verified that, although representing 8,4% of the total Brazilian population aged 2 and older, people with disabilities occupy only 2% of the positions in large companies and only 0,4% of the spots in undergraduate programs in the country. To change this reality, consistent investments in education and training are needed, including in higher education. Thus, we have reflected on the academic evolution of the public relations professionals, considering that they are responsible for mediating between the organisations and their audiences, with their actions impacting the consolidation of a inclusive culture in the public, private and third-sector organisations. Taking as an initial motivation our own experiences as researchers, professors and students in a public university in the Northeast region of Brazil, the methodology applied to conduct this research includes a qualitative approach. Regarding technical procedures, we carried out a documental and literary review, using as our object the National Curricular Guidelines and the Political Pedagogical Projects of 13 undergraduate courses with active status on the Brazilian Ministry of Education portal, all of which are taught in person, across the five regions of the country: North, Northeast, Southeast, South and Midwest. The analysis of the data revealed a transition moment, in which all the universities are making adjustments to include university extension activities in the curriculum of their undergraduate courses. We have therefore classified four levels of approach to inclusion: a) political-institutional, restricted to standardization through official policies and documents; b) political-assistance, whose focus is on the direct assistance to students with disabilities, and enabled by to the creation and work of Accessibility Centers and Inclusion Committees in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs); c) didactic-methodological, which comprises the development and application of methodologies and/or assistive technologies in the classroom; d) scientific-experimental, concerns the role of HEIs in spreading knowledge and developing assistive technologies for people with disabilities. The results of the research revealed that the promotion of inclusive education as depends on various actors and situations, and the dynamic and complex articulation between the state, civil society and the HEIs, including the collaboration in the creation of national policies for special education in higher education. On the other hand, the existence of an inclusive discourse in educational career projects, through references to public policies on specialized education and inclusion centers, cannot be interpreted as a result of the effectiveness of inclusive education policies in Brazilian higher education institutions. studied. The data shows that the speeches do not necessarily translate into changes in the school curriculum with the introduction of subjects on accessibility and inclusion. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
