Comunicación política en el mundo digital: tendencias actuales en propaganda, ideología y sociedad.
Ya hace tiempo que las redes sociales han dejado de ser “nuevos medios” para pasar a formar parte del arsenal comunicativo habitual de todo tipo de instituciones públicas y privadas. Es por ello que hemos evitado emplear el término nuevo en el título de este libro, el cual se presenta, no como una ilustración de innovaciones tecnológicas y su aplicación a la comunicación, sino más bien como una panorámica sobre la realidad presente de la comunicación de naturaleza política e ideológica. Por otro lado, y dada la importancia que tienen en la actualidad Internet y las redes sociales a la hora de vehicular los intereses de los poderosos (y también de los contrapoderes sociales), era esperable que el factor de lo digital ocupase un lugar central en el libro.
Rebel Girls!
La música es una manifestación cultural clave en la sociedad, conecta intensa y emocionalmente con la identidad y permite articular subjetividades vitales para las personas. Tomando como premisa la canción «Rebel Girl» de Bikini Kill, las reivindicaciones de la cuarta ola del feminismo, el impacto del movimiento #MeToo, el resurgir del activismo y los discursos feministas en Iberoamérica, este volumen aborda la actual desigualdad de género en la industria musical. Una obra sólidamente documentada que ilustra la envergadura del movimiento activista y perfila el impacto de redes sociales y plataformas en la construcción de la igualdad, al mismo tiempo que analiza en detalle los discursos y las representaciones que están protagonizando artistas y compositoras en la industria musical de España y América Latina.
Plural Masculinities
Plural Masculinities offers a contemporary portrait of the plural dynamics and forms of masculinity, emphasizing the multiple, even contradictory, pathways through which men are remaking their identities. Proceeding from the premise that it is impossible to fully understand masculinity without considering its connection with family change and women's change, it places men and masculinities within the realm of family life, examining men's practices and discourses in their relationships with women and their changing femininities. Combining an empirical study based in Portugal with cross-national analyses of attitudes towards ideal gender arrangements in Europe and the USA, this book examines the various ways in which men come to define their identities and will appeal to those working in the fields of masculinities, gender studies and the sociology of the family.
The Sex Revolts
The first book to look at rock rebellion through the lens of gender, The Sex Revolts captures the paradox at rock's dark heart--the music is often most thrilling when it is most misogynistic and macho. And, looking at music made by female artists, the authors ask: must it always be this way?
Standardized Survey Interviewing
Accuracy, reliability, verifiable and error-free results - these are the goals that anyone involved in survey interviewing desires. A practical guide to producing standardized - and reliable - interviews, this volume represents a blending of social science theories of interviewing dynamics, the authors' own extensive research on interview-related error and a compilation of research evidence from other prominent methodologists. How to avoid errors, sampling design issues, question construction methods, supervision techniques, training methods and the organization of data collection staffs are all thoroughly examined. In addition, prescriptions for improving the quality of survey data results are clear and concise. Both students learning survey research methods for the first time and experienced, active researchers will find this volume indispensable.
