Speaking Up and Talking Back?
The theme echoes some of the claims made by disenchanted and frustrated youth and other citizens in the streets of North Africa's cities in 2011 and 2012.
Humble Theory
A collection of fifteen essays exploring what folklore is, its history, and how it all connects to the world. Celebrated folklorist, Dorothy Noyes, offers an unforgettable glimpse of her craft and the many ways it matters. Folklore is the dirty linen of modernity, carrying the traces of working bodies and the worlds they live in. It is necessary but embarrassing, not easily blanched and made respectable for public view, although sometimes this display is deemed useful. The place of folklore studies among modern academic disciplines has accordingly been marginal and precarious, yet folklore studies are foundational and persistent. Long engaged with all that escapes the gaze of grand theory an...
African Media, African Children
"'African Media, African Children' is the title of the tenth Yearbook of the International Clearinghouse on Children, Youth and Media. Over the years, we have focused attention on a wide range of topics, but this is the first Yearbook with a geographical focus, and a vast continent at that. A focus on Africa seems both timely and important. When issues about children and media are discussed, all too often the frame of reference is the media culture of the Western world. There is an urgent need for the agenda to become open to non-Western thoughts and intercultural approaches to a much higher degree than is the case at present. The essays in this volume reflect a wide-range of issues and concerns related to children's media culture in Africa. For example, several address the role of entertainment television in Addis Abba, Ghana, South Africa, Kenya, and Zambia and in the lives of Muslim children. Other essays introduce us to children-centered media from Ghana, South Africa, and Zimbabwe, and the innovative programs of PLAN-International. In addition to entertainment media and children-centered media, media education and digital media literacy are also discussed."--Publisher website.
Feminist Critical Literacy
This book explores, as one of the priorities of the feminist agenda in the 21st century, feminist education and awareness in pre-service and in-service teacher training. Although feminism is constantly present in political discourse and social media, it is not examined sufficiently in the classroom. This situation means that students approach feminism through media culture, lacking the feminist knowledge necessary to teach disciplinary knowledge from the feminist perspective. Feminist theory, as a critical theory, provides teacher training based on the formation of critical-creative thinking and the resolute interpretation of the relevant social issues of the world in which we live. We under...
The Values of Public Service Media in the Internet Society
This book provides a global overview of the challenges and opportunities faced by Public Service Media (PSM) organizations, including the increasing power of digital platforms, changing consumption habits, and reforms on funding models. In order to survive in the new, transforming media ecosystem, PSM organizations need to retain their core values whilst also embracing new values stemming from society’s increasingly complex communication needs and value systems. The contributions of 40 authors from three continents are grouped into three areas in which PSM organizations can create value: innovation, governance and relation to the market, and democratic reinforcement. The book illustrates how PSM can create value for different stakeholders, in different contexts, and through different methods. Contributing to a better understanding of the role of PSM in current media systems, PSM is shown as a key agent for the development of the public sphere and democratic societies.
El viaje romántico
Los relatos viajeros que componen esta obra beben de un inquebrantable espíritu romántico. A lo largo del libro desfilan conquistadores, libertadores, tiranos, héroes mitológicos, fabuladores de historias, narradores inmortales, poetas atemporales, pensadores contraculturales y monarcas atormentados. De las Tierras Altas escocesas al desierto de Wadi Rum. De la antigua Persia a la Bucarest de Ceaușescu. De la Troya homérica a la necrópolis real danesa. Del vientre de la gran pirámide de Guiza al sarcófago de Alejandro. De la Tánger canalla a la tumba de Borges. Y del exilio alpino de Chaplin al abrazo entre el Sava y el Danubio.
Viaje a la madre tierra
Los datos nos advierten del serio problema medioambiental que nos rodea. Creemos que desde la comunicación y el periodismo debemos cultivar un compromiso férreo y creciente con esta agenda temática. Debemos hablar de estos asuntos. Más y mejor. Informar, formar, contextualizar, comparar, analizar, explicar, describir, narrar Y también alertar, advertir y denunciar. El problema es de todos y la solución habrá de venir de todos. Nosotros aportamos nuestra principal fortaleza: las historias. Este es un intento de conseguirlo. Escueto y humilde, pero sincero. Escriben docentes e investigadores desde diferentes áreas y miradas. También, nuestros alumnos del Máster en Periodismo de Viajes de la UAB. Les agradecemos su ilusión y su compromiso. Y, especialmente, sus relatos. Ahora son vuestros. Del mundo.
