The concept of boundaries has become a central theme in the study of journalism. In recent years, the decline of legacy news organizations and the rise of new interactive media tools have thrust such questions as "what is journalism" and "who is a journalist" into the limelight. Struggles over journalism are often struggles over boundaries. These symbolic contests for control over definition also mark a material struggle over resources. In short: boundaries have consequences. Yet there is a lack of conceptual cohesiveness in what scholars mean by the term "boundaries" or in how we should think about specific boundaries of journalism. This book addresses boundaries head-on by bringing together a global array of authors asking similar questions about boundaries and journalism from a diverse range of perspectives, methodologies, and theoretical backgrounds. Boundaries of Journalism assembles the most current research on this topic in one place, thus providing a touchstone for future research within communication, media and journalism studies on journalism and its boundaries.
A cutting-edge description of subnational democracy combined with a ground breaking explanation for why some regions are much less democratic than others.
Publicar uma obra em 2020 é um atestado de superação. Afinal, a humanidade viveu a maior crise sanitária do século com a pandemia do novo Coronavírus. A estagnação e as incertezas tomaram conta de nossas vidas. Nossas atividades profissionais sofreram uma convulsão operacional. Economias afundaram desde fevereiro. Apesar de todos esses problemas, nada supera a pior das situações: na data desta publicação, o número de vítimas fatais confirmadas supero a marca de 1,5 milhão de seres humanos. Apesar de toda essa crise histórica, a ciência seguiu com a sua força, independente da área do saber. Pesquisadoras e pesquisadores continuaram produzindo conhecimento, e algumas dessas pessoas encontraram na ciência uma válvula de escape. Com isso, tornou-se possível preparar essa obra, que reúne pesquisadores de diversos países em torno de temas fundamentais para observar a sociedade pré-pandemia, compreender o mundo em meio à pandemia e pensar em um futuro depois da COVID-19. Um cenário onde novos valores estão sendo construídos e/ou recuperados, rotinas estão sendo reformuladas e a ecologia dos meios ganhou uma reestruturação.
"Ultimately, Sandino saw himself as a Divine incarnation. In exploring how religion dominated his persona and activated his political and social projects, this book portrays Sandino as not just a rebel but a revolutionary prophet and messiah. It is at once an intriguing and significant contribution to the growing literature on Sandino, on Nicaraguan and Latin American history, and on millenarian movements and religions."--BOOK JACKET.

This volume summarizes recent advances in research on mesenchymal cell populations in the bone marrow. It explores how mesenchymal cells create niches for immune cells in extramedullary organs and it discusses new concepts of lympho-hematopoietic microenvironments. Readers are introduced to the fundamentals of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) differentiation to all types of blood cells, including immune cells, in the bone marrow. The book highlights how this process is supported and regulated by the individual microenvironments of stem cells, termed niches. The identity of HSC niches has been subject to longstanding debates. Recent studies identified the population of mesenchymal stem cells as the major cellular component of niches, for hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) and their candidate developmental origin. Furthermore, candidate cellular niches for immune cells in lymph nodes and adipose and connective tissues were identified. The authors of this volume focus on shared features between those and HSPC niche cells in the bone marrow. Covering latest research results, this book serves as fascinating read for researchers and clinicians in hematology and immunology.
The Argentine capital is largely perceived as a middle-class space. Yet in reality, urban poverty and precarious settlements are defining features of the city. Agnese Codebò investigates how slums have produced culture as well as their representation in literature and the visual arts from the 1950s to the present. Looking at government-led urban projects, as well as novels, artworks, films, militant magazines, poems, and music, she tells the story of how villas miseria have mattered culturally and socially as spaces that produce new aesthetics, cultural trends, and social alliances, while offering a vantage point to understand the city and its problems. Slums represent a heterogeneous urban space, and Codebò makes the case for their relevance in Argentine culture, demonstrates the need to rethink spaces of production, and develops a new premise for a decolonial approach to Argentine cultural production.
