World Television: From Global to Local, a new assessment of the interdependence of television across cultures and nations brings together the most current research and theories on the subject. By examining recent developments in the world system of television as well as several theories of culture, industry, genre, and audience, author Joseph D. Straubhaar offers new insights into the topic. He argues that television is being simultaneously globalized, regionalized, nationalized, and even localized, with audiences engaging it at multiple levels of identity and interest; therefore the book looks at all these levels of operation. Key Features Draws upon both international communication and cul...
How can dispute records shed light on the study of dispute settlement processes and their social and political underpinnings? This volume addresses this question by investigating the interplay between record-making, disputing process, and the social and political contexts of conflicts. The authors make use of exceptionally rich charter materials from the Iberian Peninsula, Italy, and Scandinavia, including different types of texts directly and indirectly related to conflicts, in order to contribute to a comparative survey of early medieval dispute records and to a better understanding of the interplay between judicial and other less formal modes of conflict resolution. Contributors are Isabel Alfonso, José M. Andrade, François Bougard, Warren C. Brown, Wendy Davies, Julio Escalona, Kim Esmark, Adam J. Kosto, Juan José Larrea, André Evangelista Marques, Josep M. Salrach, Igor Santos Salazar, and Francesca Tinti.
Motivados por el 50 aniversario de la Licenciatura en Ciencias de la Comunicación, este libro es el resultado del trabajo de académicos del ITESO y de su Departamento de Estudios Socioculturales que, de manera comprometida y profesional, asumieron la pertinencia de objetivar y compartir los desafíos que a lo largo de medio siglo ha enfrentado la apuesta de formación universitaria de comunicadores en la Universidad.
Cambiar de año no es cambiar de mundo, y al comenzar 2021 nuestra realidad difícilmente será muy distinta de la que veníamos habitando hasta el 31 de diciembre pasado. Sin embargo, en estas fechas siempre está a nuestro alcance al menos una pequeña cantidad de ilusión y de esperanza, y podemos disponer de ellas para retomar la marcha. Volver la vista atrás tendrá sentido en la medida en que lo hagamos para recuperar los mejores aprendizajes: es por ello que queremos dar la bienvenida a este nuevo año con un repaso a las voces de mujeres y hombres cuyas historias, aun cuando lo vivido por cada quien es único e irrepetible, podrán resultarte muy cercanas. En pro de orientar nuestra...
This volume is dedicated to eliciting the interactions between localities across late antique and early medieval Europe and the wider Mediterranean. Significant research has been done in recent years to explore how late "Roman" and post-"Roman" cities, towns and other localities communicated vis-à-vis larger structural phenomena, such as provinces, empires, kingdoms, institutions and so on. This research has contributed considerably to our understanding of the place of the city in its context, but tends to portray the city as a necessarily subordinate conduit within larger structures, rather than an entity in itself, or as a hermeneutical object of enquiry. Consequently, not enough research...
Roving vigilantes, fear-mongering politicians, hysterical pundits, and the looming shadow of a seven hundred-mile-long fence: the US–Mexican border is one of the most complex and dynamic areas on the planet today. Hyperborder provides the most nuanced portrait yet of this dynamic region. Author Fernando Romero presents a multidisciplinary perspective informed by interviews with numerous academics, researchers, and organizations. Provocatively designed in the style of other kinetic large-scale studies like Rem Koolhaas's Content and Bruce Mau’s Massive Change, Hyperborder is an exhaustively researched report from the front lines of the border debate.
En esta edición se presenta una revisión histórica a 30 años del alzamiento zapatista en Chiapas, México; una entrevista con el científico mexicano Antonio Lazcano Araujo; un reportaje sobre las posibilidades de formación profesional en prisión, y una semblanza de Diana Flores. ¿Y Rosalía? Su música ha conquistado el mundo debido a su audacia, pero también, seguramente, gracias a la medida en que multitudes de jóvenes se identifican con su mensaje de emancipación y afirmación identitaria.
