Over the last several years, the Internet has transformed business models and the way companies in various sectors, like the media, airlines, tourism, financial intermediaries, etc., are organized. Every company that packages content and markets it through intermediaries will go through a change in its business model, and companies in the cultural sector will be no exception to this structural transformation process. A new era is fast approaching in which the way a business handles its relationship with consumers (B2C) will outweigh the current business-to-business (B2B) intermediation model. The objective of this study is to provide professionals in the book world, whether they are publishers, agents, authors, booksellers, or librarians, with a broad analysis of the business models currently available on the Internet so that they may determine where their business opportunities lie and what the benefits of each of these models are for their companies.
This second edition of New Business Models in the Digital Age is full of updated, need-to-know information for anyone interested in this topic. Due to the outstanding reception the original report had in 2014, having been downloaded over 5,000 times, and because of all of the available new data and important developments, it was necessary to expand the report after just a year to include all of the changes that have taken place since then. Some of the biggest news in this year's edition comes from the world of micropayments, namely the new and hotly debated "pay what you read" business model. The newest changes in subscription models, which are having a hard time taking hold in the book sector, are also discussed as is the surge in the number of new crowdfunding projects that have led to the consolidation of this business trend in the last year alone.
Following the excellent reception of the first two editions of the AC/E Digital Culture Annual Report (2014 and 2015) – more than 5,000 copies of each have been distributed over the past two years – we are pleased to share with culture sector professionals the third edition, which sets out to analyse the impact of new technologies on artistic creation and their use at cultural festivals. To achieve this aim, the broad-ranging content of the third edition of the report has been divided into two main sections to make it easier to read for the different audiences at which it is aimed. 'Smart Culture' is the overarching theme established by the Advisory Committee of the AC/E Digital Culture Annual Report 2016 as a basis for choosing the six articles that make up the first part of this year's edition. Just as the first report's Focus dealt with the impact of the Internet on the performing arts (theatre, opera, dance, ballet, etc.) and that of the second edition analysed the use of new technologies in the world of museums, for this third edition it conducts a thorough analysis of the use of new technologies at some 50 Spanish and foreign cultural festivals.
The AC/E Digital Culture Annual Report aims to become an annual document of reference that analyses the evolution of digital trends in the cultural sector (museums, libraries, publishing companies, booksellers, theatre companies, film production, music companies, etc.) It is designed to be a manual for constant reference and consultation for cultural sector professionals wishing to discover the advantages & benefits derived from the use of new technologies. The first report, coordinated by Javier Celaya of Dosdoce.com, analyses the impact of the Internet in the overall cultural sector, as well as it provides a specific focus on the use of new technologies in the performing arts (production, ...

Esta obra es fruto del esfuerzo de varios profesores de Derecho de la Universidad Autónoma de Barcelona interesados en analizar las incidencias jurídicas de la aplicación de sistemas de inteligencia artificial en el Derecho de autor. Se divide en tres partes que abordan áreas de actual interés en relación con los derechos de los autores. La Parte I está dedicada al estudio de la «creatividad computacional» y a la aplicación de la «realidad aumentada» en el mundo del arte. Respecto de la primera, se analizan cuestiones como la «originalidad», cuando el «autor» es un sistema de inteligencia artificial, viendo quién debe ser el titular de las facultades de explotación económi...
Este libro pretende centrarse en el surgimiento y consolidación de nuevas tipologías museísticas que se adaptan a colecciones alternativas, y en los avances que las TICs están aportando al museo y a la obra de creación. Se estructura en tres grandes bloques dedicado a “Nuevos ámbitos de musealización” donde se recogen ejemplos de museos y exposiciones de fotografía, cine, arquitectura, patrimonio inmaterial y musealización del territorio con el caso de las ciudades mineras de Latinoamérica. Un segundo bloque dedicado a los “Museos y las TICS”, tema ampliamente abordado por la historiografía pero que requiere de actualización constante y donde se reflexiona sobre el genoma digital del museo y su problematización digital, las relaciones entre lo tecnológico y la educación, temas de propiedad intelectual y museos, TICs y discapacidad. El tercer bloque dedicado al “Arte y TICs” analiza los cambios y al surgimiento de nuevas prácticas artísticas como el computer art, el video mapping o el videojuego, también a las transformaciones que la Realidad Aumentada está otorgando a dichas manifestaciones y como se abordan los nuevos proyectos curatoriales.
The Companion to Music in the Age of the Catholic Monarchs, edited by Tess Knighton, offers a major new study that deepens and enriches our understanding of the forms and functions of music that flourished in late medieval Spanish society. The fifteen essays, written by leading authorities in the field, present a synthesis based on recently discovered material that throws new light on different aspects of musical life during the reign of Ferdinand and Isabel (1474-1516): sacred and secular music-making in royal and aristocratic circles; the cathedral music environment; liturgy and power; musical connections with Rome, Portugal and the New World; theoretical and unwritten musical practices; women as patrons and performers; and the legacy of Jewish musical tradition. Contributors are Mercedes Castillo Ferreira, Giuseppe Fiorentino, Roberta Freund Schwartz, Eleazar Gutwirth, Tess Knighton, Kenneth Kreitner, Javier Marín López, Ascensión Mazuela-Anguita, Bernadette Nelson, Pilar Ramos López, Emilio Ros-Fábregas, Juan Ruiz Jiménez, Richard Sherr, Ronald Surtz, and Jane Whetnall.
'This is is explicitly, and joyously, a book about books, about what can be learned from them and what is lost when they are lost' GUARDIAN 'Full of stylish writing, Gothic atmosphere and love letters to 19th-century novels' WASHINGTON POST Barcelona, 1957.
