RETHINKING PERSUASION IN RELIGIOUS SYMBOLIC COMMUNICATION: A MARKETING POINT OF VIEW
DOI:
https://doi.org/10.26458/1936Abstract
The marketing dynamics of the study and praxis of persuasion present different interweavings with the time frame chosen. Even so, we consider that the only one offering a stable reference background is religious communication, because even if interpretations may differ, the basic principles of association towards individual apprehension and comprehension remain the same. It is the author intention to try to map out possible connections between persuasion, as a symbolic process, and religious symbolic communication, by assuming that, in a Biblical sense, communication is intrinsic to the act of being of all humanity.References
