Gender-Based Violence in Latin American and Iberian Cinemas
Gender-Based Violence in Latin American and Iberian Cinemas rethinks the intersection between violence and its gendered representation. This is a groundbreaking contribution to the international debate on the cinematic construction of gender-based violence. With essays from diverse cultural backgrounds and institutions, this collection analyzes a wide range of films across Latin America and the Iberian Peninsula. The volume makes use of varied perspectives including feminist, postcolonial, and queer theory to consider such issues as the visual configuration of power and inequality, the objectification and the invisibilization of women’s and LGBTQ subjects’ resistance, the role of female film-makers in transforming hegemonic accounts of violence, and the subversion of common tropes of gendered violence. This will be of significance for students and scholars in Latin American and Iberian studies, as well as in film studies, cultural studies, and gender and queer studies.
El ejercicio del periodismo en la sociedad de la información
En pleno siglo XXI, cuando los avances tecnológicos sacuden la era de la información, el periodista, garante de la libertad de prensa debe adaptarse a los nuevos tiempos y aún más a los nuevos formatos. Las nuevas tecnologías, Internet y las redes sociales agitan un universo plagado de estructuras y agentes que se mueven en la telaraña que es hoy en día la información periodística. Aún así, como garantía de un derecho constitucional de todos los ciudadanos, la información se convierte en un ejercicio responsable. A lo largo de estas páginas, se analizarán los retos del periodista en una nueva vorágine, la de la nueva narrativa multimedia. El periodista tradicional queda a un lado para dejar paso a un nuevo tipo de periodista que ha de adaptarse a los diferentes formatos periodísticos que priman hoy día y que buscan adaptarse a un mercado en el que el consumidor reclama actualidad, calidad e inmediatez.

1813: Crónicas donostiarras
La destrucción de Donostia por los aliados, perpetrada el fatídico 31 de agosto de 1813 y día sucesivos, representó la mayor tragedia de la localidad tras ocho siglos de historia. Horrendas escenas de violencia, violaciones, robos y muertes sembraron el terror en una población indefensa y desamparada. El incendio fue concienzudamente planificado y la próspera ciudad mercantil se convirtió en un solar de escombros, muerte y destrucción. Ante la impresión de que había llegado el fin de la historia de la ciudad, los donostiarras asombraron a los propios culpables de la masacre levantando el ánimo y reiniciando las tareas de reconstrucción. Ahí quedó manifiesta la verdadera personalidad de sus vecinos, ansiosos de retomar la dinámica comercial que los había caracterizado, resurgiendo inopinadamente de sus propias cenizas. Esta investigación aborda vías inexploradas que descubren insólitos pasajes del drama, así como la indomable voluntad de los donostiarras, dispuestos a rehacer su vida y a modernizar la ciudad.

Legacies of Violence in Contemporary Spain
This book provides a comprehensive, interdisciplinary study of the multiple legacies of Francoist violence in contemporary Spain, with a special focus on the exhumations of mass graves from the Civil War and post-war era. The various contributions frame their study within a broader reflection on the nature, function and legacies of state-sanctioned violence in its many forms. Offering perspectives from fields as varied as history, political science, literary and cultural studies, forensic and cultural anthropology, international human rights law, sociology, and art, this volume explores the multifaceted nature of a society’s reckoning with past violence. It speaks not only to those interested in contemporary Spain and Western Europe, but also to those studying issues of transitional and post-transitional justice in other national and regional contexts.
Die informierte Gesellschaft und ihre Feinde
Fake News, Halbwahrheiten, Konspirationstheorien – die Ausbreitung von Desinformation in der digitalisierten Welt, insbesondere in sozialen Netzwerken wie Facebook und Twitter, wird immer mehr zur Bedrohung und zur Herausforderung für unsere Demokratie.
