La innovación tecnológica
La innovación tecnológica se ha convertido en parte de la nueva retórica sobre la modernización de las sociedades avanzadas. Bajo este discurso determinista se esconde un fenómeno complejo que recientemente hemos empezado a comprender. Este libro da las claves sobre cómo se crean, se difunden y se adoptan las TIC a partir de una premisa social: más allá de las características intrínsecas de las tecnologías, que son relevantes, lo que explica el resultado de este proceso es una suma de factores de tipo cultural, económico y político. Al final, es el usuario quien con sus percepciones y opciones decide el éxito o el fracaso de las innovaciones tecnológicas. De ahí la importancia de conocer también cómo actúa éste.

Polarization, Populism, and the New Politics
‘Populism’ is one of the most frequently used terms in today’s political discussions. From Turkey to the United States of America, the effect of populist politicians is felt more than ever today. Indeed, it is an extremely common occurrence to come across a political commentator defining a politician as a populist in newspapers or TV shows. This volume brings together scholars from various disciplines and invites its readers to consider the role played by both conventional and new media in the rise of this political movement. Its focus is not limited to the USA nor the UK, but investigates populism in countries such as Turkey and Spain. It will appeal to readers interested in classical populism and polarization studies, as well as those interested in post-truth studies.
Corporations and Cultural Industries
Corporations and Cultural Industries: Time Warner, Bertelsmann, and News Corporation, by Scott Warren Fitzgerald, provides an introduction to the political economy of international media corporations. This text fills a fundamental gap in the critical media studies field, expanding on the relative paucity of academic studies. To ground the discussion, Fitzgerald focuses on the growth of three specific media conglomerates: Time Warner, Bertelsmann and News Corporation. Adopting an approach rooted in critical political economy, the book explains the corporations' growth through an engagement with broader social theories: the wider conditions of capital accumulation (especially theories of corpo...

Pierre Musso and the Network Society
This book is devoted to discussion of the views of Pierre Musso and starts with a central chapter written by Musso, entitled Network Ideology: from Saint-Simonianism to the Internet . Pierre Musso is a French philosopher and is one of the most original thinkers in the history of the network society. His thought develops a critique of information and communication technologies through their imaginary and social representations and of the information society, based on the network metaphor. The main question on which Musso has focused his attention is how the network metaphor is one of the most powerful ways of understanding the complex societies in which we live. Showing characteristic attenti...
Producing British Television Drama
This book presents a compelling case for a paradigmatic shift in the analysis of television drama production that recentres questions of power, control and sustainability. Television drama production has become an increasingly lucrative global export business as drama as a form enjoys increased prestige. However, this book argues that the growing emphasis on international markets and global players such as Netflix and Amazon Prime neglects the realities of commissioning and making television drama in specific national and regional contexts. Drawing on extensive empirical research, Producing British Television Drama demonstrates the centrality of public service broadcasters in serving audienc...
Políticas culturales y de comunicación
Los orígenes de la intervención pública en cultura podríamos situarlos a mediados del s. XVII, mientras que en el ámbito de la comunicación podríamos encontrarlos justo al finalizar la Segunda Guerra Mundial. A través de este libro presentamos las principales actuaciones que han venido adoptándose en el ámbito del cine, la televisión y la prensa para regular y fomentar estos tres sectores que ubicamos bajo el paraguas de las industrias culturales. Partimos de una primera introducción a través de la que nos acercamos al origen y evolución del concepto de políticas culturales y de comunicación, a los motivos que han llevado a la intervención pública en este ámbito, así como...
