structuring the *Communication & Culture Department *(website 
<https://faculte-recherche.audencia.com/en/departments/communication-culture/>):

o/Media: Rhetoric and Practices of Engagement. Engagement has become a 
central issue in contemporary societies. Research in this area focuses 
on political communication and civic engagement, responsible brand 
messaging and the perception of same by consumers, environmental 
rhetoric and interfaces with consumers, on digital consumption and 
usage, and on the figures (from the illustrious to the infamous), values 
and actions they promote./

o/Creativity, Innovation, Design. In this area, researchers look into 
the different approaches and phases of the design process in 
communication and culture management (including education). The purpose 
is to analyse, deconstruct, redesign and test new methods and discourses 
about design, creativity and innovation./

o/Art and Organizations: The aesthetic issues involved in the 
organization and mobilization of "ordinary" creativity constitute a 
sector in the development of research. At the crossroads of the arts, 
culture, digital technologies and organizational theories, Art and 
Organization explores objects of cross-functional research, focusing on 
the study of artistic organizations, and/or the aesthetic facets of 
conventional organizations./

o/ Design and Drafting of Public Policies: Researchers in this area are 
interested in the process with which public policies are developed, from 
their writing to their circulation. Work in this area focuses on the 
production of public policies in the specific fields of culture, 
security and poverty through the mechanisms that these policies use, the 
figures they involve, the market players taking part in the 
interactions, and the media output they generate./
