Abstract

This article, is grounded in my participant observation as both a professional and a professor of Public Relations. With the colaboration of Prof. Rahde, it discusses some uses of the term Public Relations which I think are inadequate to scientifi c discourses about the fi eld. Hence, it suggests some alternatives in order to improve its scientifi c study.
