Ciberciudadanías, cultura política y creatividad social
Si bien los nuevos repertorios tecnológicos son una de las formas predominantes de producción y control actual, al mismo tiempo son dispositivos con potencialidad para la expansión de la subjetividad y del deseo, la toma de la palabra y del ejercicio ciudadano. Su incorporación en las prácticas sociales configura nuevas formas de vida y transforma la cultura. En este sentido, este libro presenta diferentes perspectivas analíticas que reevalúan conceptualizaciones como lo privado, las diversas esferas de lo público, lo local a lo global, los medios de comunicación masiva y las tecnologías multimodales. Los autores se fijan principalmente en los jóvenes como actores sociales vitales en la sociedad contemporánea y en la política no como un campo definido a priori, sino como producto de conflictos, tensiones y resistencias.
Small Cinemas of the Andes
This book examines the emergence of small cinemas of the Andes, covering digital peripheries in Ecuador, Bolivia, Peru and Colombia. The volume critically assesses heterogeneous audiovisual practices and subaltern agents, elucidating existing tensions, contradictions and resistances with respect to established cinematic norms. The reason these small cinematic sectors are of interest is twofold: first, the film markets of the aforementioned countries are often eclipsed by the filmmaking giants of Mexico, Brazil and Argentina; second, within the Andean countries these small cinemas are overshadowed by film board-backed cinemas whose products are largely designed for international film festivals.
Jóvenes, máquinas y software
Este libro es el resultado de un proyecto de investigación-producción, una experiencia de creación colectiva y una espiral de invención conceptual y tecnológica "desde abajo". No enfatiza en las "carencias", sino en el aprovechamiento de las ricas capacidades humanas y recursos con que cuentan las instituciones educativas, y en las posibilidades de intensa inversión de trabajo humano creativo en las máquinas. De este proceso surge el concepto de "exoprogramación", entendida como la capacidad de programar socialmente los usos de tecnologías de diversa naturaleza, de viejo y nuevo tipo, sin que sean el centro del aprendizaje. Ello exige asumir el espesor y densidad local, la riqueza s...
Youth 2.0: Social Media and Adolescence
This book grasps the duality between opportunities and risks which arise from children’s and adolescents’ social media use. It investigates the following main themes, from a multidisciplinary perspective: identity, privacy, risks and empowerment. Social media have become an integral part of young people’s lives. While social media offer adolescents opportunities for identity and relational development, adolescents might also be confronted with some threats.

The second part revolves around the disclosure of personal information on social network sites, and concentrates on the t...
The Information Society: Emerging Landscapes
This book is compiled of selected proceedings from the "Landscapes" Conference held at Turku University, Finland, in July 2005. The themes chosen for the conference – philosophy, ethics and sociological aspects, culture and education; social aspects; politics and regulation; economics and work; technology and emerging technologies – represent many of the perspectives from which to view this landscape. The papers illustrate the diverse impacts of the information society and the changing paradigms within education, law, health care, the workplace and on future societal infrastructures through research initiatives and the development of new technologies. In this book, IFIP WG9.2 has attempted to capture the new ‘emerging landscape’ of the Information Society. A picture of profound technological and social change emerges from this holistic approach. It offers a key to understanding the ramifications of computer technologies within the information society, and of the social accountability of all those who work with and are affected by them.
Transnational Spanish Studies
The focus of this book is two-fold. First it traces the expansive geographical spread of the language commonly referred to as Spanish. This has given rise to multiple hybrid formations over time emerging in the clash of multiple cultures, languages and religions within and between great empires (Roman, Islamic, Hispano-Catholic), each with expansionist policies leading to wars, huge territorial gains and population movements. This long history makes Hispanophone culture itself a supranational, trans-imperial one long before we witness its various national cultures being refashioned as a result of the transnational processes associated with globalization today. Indeed, the Spanish language we...
