The financial limitations of companies hamper spending on exorbitant 
campaigns and rental of space in the media, which is highly saturated 
with (dis) information, seems to confer an Opportunity for advertising 
to reinvent itself either in terms of its strategies concerning the 
choice of channels of communication or in terms of the configuration of 
devices that inaugurate a new way of consumer participation, 
implementing strategies that demonstrate greater (cost) efficiency and 
effectiveness.

Among the loss of credibility of the mass media discourse, the awareness 
of the artificial – inasmuch as commercial – character of advertising 
and the upsurge of instruments and channels available to users, its 
apparent bipolarity emerges, as in depressive periods it seems to be 
integrated in (marketing) communication strategies and in “histrionic” 
cycles it appears to be avant-garde and civic, while transfiguring 
itself in discourses that call for the end of stereotypes and for more 
egalitarian and democratic configuration of the society.

In this context, it is important to:

// Give an epistemological framework to a discipline that is articulated 
between the Habermasian publicity and advertising, yet not exhausted in 
these dualities;
// Reflect on publicity that is being taught and practiced currently, 
examining it from the perspective of the academy, that of agencies, 
customers, the media and of speech.
// Analyse the links between advertising and arts, in its twofold nature 
as contemplative and instrumental, especially in the strategies 
promoting territories presented in street art;
// Understand the strategies of audience participation, calling for 
engagement and co-creation by inaugurating new forms (such as 
flash-mobs, happenings and advergames) and requiring models of analysis 
adapted to the most recent typologies of discourse.
