TVMorfosis 7
Los informativos en el entorno digital contemporáneo cuentan con una serie de nuevas posibilidades para su conformación, para su difusión diversificada y oportuna, y para convocar e involucrar de modos diferentes y creativos a sus audiencias. Éstas, a su vez, cada vez más se involucran activamente con la información, no sólo en su recepción como ha sido siempre, sino en su producción y emisión también, interactuando de maneras imprevisibles con ella, ampliándola, reconstruyéndola, reinventándola y corrigiéndola, pero manteniéndola en circulación con diversos grados de modificación. Los autores reunidos en este libro contribuyen, desde sus posiciones e interacciones, con información para entender aspectos particulares de lo informativo.
Global Media Giants
Global Media Giants takes an in-depth look at how media corporate power works globally, regionally, and nationally, investigating the ways in which the largest and most powerful media corporations in the world wield power. Case studies examine not only some of the largest media corporations (News Corp., The Microsoft Corporation) in terms of revenues, but also media corporations that hold considerable power within national, regional, or geolinguistic contexts (Televisa, The Bertelsmann Group, Sony Corporation). Each chapter approaches a different corporation through the lens of economy, politics, and culture, giving students and scholars a thoughtful and data-driven guide with which to interrogate contemporary media industry power.
Días de radio
En México, la investigación histórica de la radio ha sido poco abordada, aun cuando es un medio de comunicación con una enorme cobertura e influencia social y cul¬tural. Este libro, de Gabriel Sosa Plata, en coautoría en varios textos con Perla Olivia Rodríguez Reséndiz, Alberto Esquivel y Felipe León López, nos relata lo sucedido con la radiodifusión desde sus inicios en 1919 hasta la fecha: el periplo de las estaciones comerciales, el surgimiento de la radio gubernamental y la de uso público, la radio comunitaria, y su transición de los programas en vivo al de la música de discos o digital y de los grandes radioteatros a las pequeñas cabinas radiofónicas. Desde tres perspectivas, las radiodifusoras, los programas y el desarrollo de la tecnología, la obra también analiza la legislación y la respuesta que ha dado este medio a coyunturas particulares, como la Segunda Guerra Mundial, el proyecto educativo de José Vasconcelos y de algunos de sus sucesores, la censura, la intromisión de la política, su uso social y meramente el de esparcimiento. El libro, además, está ilustrado con fotografías, que son docu¬mentos indispensables para comprender esta historia.

Mexican Waves
Mexican Waves is the fascinating history of how borderlands radio stations shaped the identity of an entire region as they addressed the needs of the local population and fluidly reached across borders to the United States. In so doing, radio stations created a new market of borderlands consumers and worked both within and outside the constraints of Mexican and U.S. laws. Historian Sonia Robles examines the transnational business practices of Mexican radio entrepreneurs between the Golden Age of radio and the early years of television history. Intersecting Mexican history and diaspora studies with communications studies, this book explains how Mexican radio entrepreneurs targeted the Mexican...
Mapping Digital Media: Mexico
Mexico is one of the 15 largest economies worldwide. Yet only 15% of households own a digital device and less than a third have a computer. Most rely on TV and radio. Although terrestrial television has remained the favorite TV platform in the country, cable and satellite have made inroads in recent years, with non-terrestrial platforms accounting in 2009 for almost a third of the country's households. The internet has emerged in the past five years as a new tool for activism. Campaigns on the internet have created pressure on traditional media to tackle topics they would not otherwise cover or on state institutions to embrace new technologies. The internet has also started to be increasingl...
Transnational Encounters
Through the study of a large variety of musical practices from the U.S.-Mexico border, Transnational Encounters seeks to provide a new perspective on the complex character of this geographic area. By focusing not only on norteña, banda or conjunto musics (the most stereotypical musical traditions among Hispanics in the area) but also engaging a number of musical practices that have often been neglected in the study of this border's history and culture (indigenous musics, African American musical traditions, pop musics), the authors provide a glance into the diversity of ethnic groups that have encountered each other throughout the area's history. Against common misconceptions about the U.S....
Cultural Nationalism and Ethnic Music in Latin America
Music has been critical to national identity in Latin America, especially since the worldwide emphasis on nations and cultural identity that followed World War I. Unlike European countries with unified ethnic populations, Latin American nations claimed blended ethnicities—indigenous, Caucasian, African, and Asian—and the process of national stereotyping that began in the 1920s drew on themes of indigenous and African cultures. Composers and performers drew on the folklore and heritage of ethnic and immigrant groups in different nations to produce what became the music representative of different countries. Mexico became the nation of mariachi bands, Argentina the land of the tango, Brazil the country of Samba, and Cuba the island of Afro-Cuban rhythms, including the rhumba. The essays collected here offer a useful introduction to the twin themes of music and national identity and melodies and ethnic identification. The contributors examine a variety of countries where powerful historical movements were shaped intentionally by music.
