Throughout its 65-year history, the International Association for Media and Communication Research (IAMCR) has sought to facilitate international exchanges and research collaborations among academics and journalists in the field of media and communication.

Nahuatl Nations is a linguistic ethnography that explores the political relations between those Indigenous communities of Mexico that speak the Nahuatl language and the Mexican Nation that claims it as an important national symbol. Author Magnus Pharao Hansen studies how this relation has been shaped by history and how it plays out today in Indigenous Nahua towns, regions, and educational institutions, and in the Mexican diaspora. He argues that Indigenous languages are likely to remain vital as long as they used as languages of political community, and they also protect the community's sovereignty by functioning as a barrier that restricts access to the participation for outsiders. Semiotic sovereignty therefore becomes a key concept for understanding how Indigenous communities can maintain both their political and linguistic vitality. While the Mexican Nation seeks to expropriate Indigenous semiotic resources in order to improve its brand on an international marketplace, Indigenous communities may employ them in resistance to state domination.
Asistimos a un mundo que parece vivir de manera contradictoria una doble realidad: por un lado, la globalización, proceso que en su cuarta etapa de industrialización es considerado irreversible y, por el otro, una vuelta hacia los localismos y nacionalismos que hasta hace poco tiempo se creían superados. Esta obra se presenta como una recolección de testimonios académicos, cuyo propósito es estimular debates que vayan más allá de las singulares dialécticas disciplinarias, típicas del hacer universitario ortodoxo, a fin de difundir distintos saberes, provenientes de reflexiones e investigaciones muy diferentes. De esta manera se busca acrecentar el debate social y humanista sobre temáticas heterogéneas entre sí, pero puntuales en sus diferentes estudios, para animar una comunión no solo en el ámbito puramente académico, sino también fomentando un diálogo con toda la sociedad civil.

This book discusses how digital inequalities today may lead to other types of inequalities in the Global South. Contributions to this collection move past discussing an access problem – a binary division between ‘haves and have-nots’ – to analyse complex inequalities in the internet use, benefits, and opportunities of people in the Global South region. Using specific case studies, this book underlines how communities in the Global South are now attempting to participate in the information age despite high costs, a lack of infrastructure, and more barriers to entry. Contributions discuss the recent changes in the Global South. These changes include greater technological availability, the spread of digital literacy programs and computer courses, and the overall growth in engagement of people from different backgrounds, ethnicities, and languages in digital environments. This book outlines and evaluates the role of state and public institutions in facilitating these changes and consequently bridging the digital divide.
Because social media and technology companies rule the Internet, only a digital constitution can protect our rights online.
Questions of privacy are critical to the study of contemporary media and society.
