Radio Benjamin
Walter Benjamin was fascinated by the impact of new technology on culture, an interest that extended beyond his renowned critical essays. From 1927 to ’33, he wrote and presented something in the region of eighty broadcasts using the new medium of radio. Radio Benjamin gathers the surviving transcripts, which appear here for the first time in English. This eclectic collection demonstrates the range of Benjamin’s thinking and his enthusiasm for popular sensibilities. His celebrated “Enlightenment for Children” youth programs, his plays, readings, book reviews, and fiction reveal Benjamin in a creative, rather than critical, mode. They flesh out ideas elucidated in his essays, some of which are also represented here, where they cover topics as varied as getting a raise and the history of natural disasters, subjects chosen for broad appeal and examined with passion and acuity. Delightful and incisive, this is Walter Benjamin channeling his sophisticated thinking to a wide audience, allowing us to benefit from a new voice for one of the twentieth century’s most respected thinkers.
Restyling Factual TV
Addressing the wide range of programmes and formats from news, to documentary, to popular factual genres, Annette Hill’s new book examines the ways viewers navigate their way through a busy, noisy and constantly changing factual television environment. Restyling Factual TV addresses the wide range of programmes that fall within the category of 'factuality', from politics, to natural history, to reality entertainment. Based on research with audiences of factual TV, primarily in Sweden and the UK, but with reference to other countries such as the US, this book tackles issues such as legitimacy, ethics and value in contemporary news and current affairs, documentary and reality programming. Drawing on the ethics of truth-telling and notions of quality, this wide-ranging, authoritative book expands the debate on popular factual entertainment and will be a welcome addition to the current literature.
Lenguajes Periodísticos
Si hay un órgano vivo que no ha dejado de latir durante más de quinientos mil años es, sin duda, el lenguaje. La comunicación, hoy en día, no solo es esencial para la supervivencia, sino que no podríamos concebir un mundo sin esa tupida red que envuelve la realidad y que interconecta permanentemente a los humanos. Ya sea por medios escritos, orales, virtuales, gráficos o infográficos, el lenguaje es la herramienta que nos permite penetrar en la realidad y contar esa experiencia, poner en orden el pensamiento y hasta compartir las emociones más hondas. Conocer las infinitas posibilidades del lenguaje (y de los lenguajes) no es solo una prioridad para los profesionales de la comunicac...

Sinergias Digitales. Hibridaciones entre información,ficción y entretenimiento
El presente volumen se organiza en tres apartados en función de la predominancia informativa, ficcional o de entretenimiento que tiene el contenido comunicativo; pero el propio título recoge que estamos ante trasvases y sinergias entre esas mismas categorías. No podría ser de otro modo puesto que las formas de comunicación actuales se construyen a partir de una fuerte hibridación: el infoentretenimiento se ha convertido en el concepto clave desde el que desarrollar numerosos análisis, como algunos de los aquí recogidos. Así, en torno al entretenimiento se articula toda la producción del videojuego --construida fundamentalmente sobre narrativas ficcionales-- y las comunidades de fans del cómic y cine generan abundante contenido transmedia desde la motivación del juego y el entretenimiento. En el imperioso esfuerzo por conectar con las audiencias y su fidelización, la industria y los creadores de contenido bucean constantemente en universos creativos próximos para apropiarse de ideas y estrategias de éxito.
