Critique of Pure Nature
This book challenges the Western contemporary “praise for Nature”. From food to body practices, from ecological discourses to the Covid-19 pandemic, contemporary imaginaries abound with representations of an ideal “pure Nature”, essentially defined according to a logic of denial of any artificial, modified, manipulated — in short, cultural — aspect. How should we contextualise and understand such an opposition, especially in light of the rich semantic scope of the term “nature” and its variability over time? And how can we — if we actually can — envisage alternative models and approaches capable of better accounting for such richness and variability? The author addresses ...
The Mediated Climate
To what extent does journalism deserve blame for the failure to address climate change over the last thirty years? Critics point out that climate coverage has often lacked necessary urgency and hewed to traditional notions of objectivity and balance that allowed powerful interests—mainly fossil fuel companies—to manufacture doubt. Climate journalism, however, developed alongside the digital media landscape, which is characterized by rampant misinformation, political polarization, unaccountable tech companies, unchecked corporate power, and vast inequalities. Under these circumstances, journalism struggled, and bad actors flourished, muddling messages while emissions mounted and societies...
Semiotics and Visual Communication IV
The chapters in this book consist of selected papers which investigate the theme of ‘Myths Today’, paying homage to the notion of myth as defined by Roland Barthes in the late 1950’s which provided a theoretical framework under which daily habits, as well as consumer practices, can be examined as socially constructed signs, idealized through verbal narratives. While ‘myth is a type of speech’, it is also a type of image; typeface, cinema, photography, sports, online networks, politics, TV shows, sound, and fashion can all serve as groundwork for mythical discourses. Under this framework, the book explores myths today, in the context of global networks, globalisation, visuals and mass communication. The interdisciplinary nature of the book provides a platform for discussion and research, broadens the scope of semiotic and visual communication thinking, and challenges the boundaries of various disciplines.
Communicating Science and Technology Through Online Video
Online video’s unique capacity to reach large audiences makes it a powerful tool to communicate science and technology to the general public.

Los Medios de Comunicación como difusores del Cambio Climático
El periodismo se encuentra ante uno de los momentos más complejos de las últimas décadas agradables por fenómenos como la algoritmacización de la información, el fenómeno de la postverdad y la crisis de la credibilidad en los medios denominados tradicionales. Estas circunstancias son especialmente significativas en situaciones de crisis socio-ambiental generado por el cambio climático, que requiere una amplia atención mediática en todas sus vertientes, especialmente en la informativa, pero también en la formativa.
La comunicaci—n de la mitigaci—n y la adaptaci—n al Cambio Clim‡tico
La presente publicación surge del Simposio "La comunicación de la miti-gación y de la adaptación al cambio climático" que se desarrolló en Sevilla los días 21, 22 y 23 de marzo en el III Congreso Internacional Comunicación y Pensamiento. Generación Smarthphone: Comunicación móvil, celebrado en la Facultad de Comunicación de la Universidad de Sevilla y organizado por el Laboratorio de Estudios en Comunicación (LADECOM) y el Grupo de Investigación Comunicar. Dicho Simposio se propuso como un foro de debate e investigación en torno a la comunicación de las dos principales respuestas al gran reto del cambio climático: la mitigación y la adaptación.
Wissenserwerb zum Thema Klimapolitik aus Mediennutzung und interpersoneller Kommunikation
Ein Basiswissen über Klimapolitik ermöglicht demokratische Teilhabe und Engagement für den Klimaschutz. Bestehende Studien zum Wissen der Deutschen konzentrieren sich jedoch entweder auf Folgen und Ursachen des Klimawandels oder auf andere Politikbereiche. Zudem gibt es wenig Forschung zu den Quellen und dem Prozess des Wissenserwerbs. Daher untersucht die vorliegende Studie, welchen Beitrag Mediennutzung und interpersonelle Kommunikation zum Wissenserwerb über Klimapolitik leisten, und welche anderen Faktoren neben den Informationsquellen das Lernen beeinflussen und erklären. Die Studie wurde im Kontext des UN-Klimagipfels 2015 in Paris durchgeführt und kombiniert eine dreiwellige Panel-Befragung der deutschen Bevölkerung (N = 1121) mit einer qualitativen Tagebuchbefragung (N = 42) und einer qualitativen Inhaltsanalyse der genutzten Medieninhalte der TagebuchschreiberInnen. Es zeigt sich ein eher niedriger Wissensstand; mittelfristig gibt es einen Lerneffekt in Bezug auf besonders aktuelle Aspekte des Themas. Der Wissenserwerb wird durch einen Deckeneffekt limitiert, der zu einem großen Teil aus einer inhaltlich eingeschränkten Berichterstattung resultiert.
