Gender and Sexuality in the European Media
This edited collection brings together original empirical and theoretical insights into the complex set of relations which exist between age, gender, sexualities and the media in Europe. This book investigates how engagements with media reflect people’s constructions and understandings of gender in society, as well as articulations of age in relation to gender and sexuality; the ways in which negotiations of gender and sexuality inform people’s practices with media, and not least how mediated representations may reinforce or challenge social hierarchies based in differences of gender, sexual orientation and age. In doing so, it showcases new and innovative research at the forefront of media and communication practice and theory. Including contributions from both established and early career scholars across Europe, it engages with a wide range of hotly debated topics within the context of gender, sexuality and the media, informing academic, public and policy agendas. This collection will be of interest to students and researchers in gender studies, media studies, film and television, cultural studies, sexuality, ageing, sociology and education.

Women, Ageing and the Screen Industries
This book explores the challenges facing women from their mid-forties as they attempt to build/maintain careers in the screen industries. Essays are concerned with the intersection of gender and age on screen and behind the camera and how that can create a ‘double jeopardy’. Existing research in this area has been primarily directed to onscreen representation. Female actors, with notable exceptions, struggle to get screen time and expansive roles as they age. Behind the camera, women 45+ also face challenges and roadblocks; to date, less attention has been directed to this group. The cross-cultural research in this collection offers an analysis of representation, on and off screen, touching on film, television, streaming services and film festivals. It includes an exploration of gendered ageism, age bias and stereotyping. It also highlights the achievements of mature female practitioners who, in their work and working lives, embody a resistance to restrictive cultural discourses about ageing women.
A infecção e suas memórias:
“Igor Sacramento e J. Antônio Cirino mostram em seu livro a grande relevância que plataformas como o YouTube têm na luta contra o estigma do HIV. Através de suas páginas entendemos como esse tipo de plataforma, além de ser um arquivo para a memória futura do HIV, serve como canais de enunciação para uma multiplicidade de subjetividades que, em uma conversa conjunta, buscam problematizar e fazer a história do que é viver com HIV em uma época, como a atual, marcada pela indetectabilidade e intransmissibilidade”. Sergio Villanueva Baselga, Professor da Universitat de Barcelona (Espanha)
Interactive Documentary
Tracing continuities in digital and documentary practices, this book is a study of interactive documentary from the perspective of documentary culture. Exploring the dizzying array of new documentary forms that have emerged in the past ten years, the book is grounded in the analysis of multiple recent examples of digital documentary work, drawing out the key issues that the work raises. These issues provide a starting point for theoretical reflection, with each chapter developing concepts and frameworks to facilitate thinking with and through interactive documentary. The book explores questions of polyvocality, participation, and political voice, as well as the sociality and performativity o...
Visualizando el Cambio: Humanidades Ambientales / Envisioning Change: Environmental Humanities
The 21st century has been described by many environmental scholars as the one in which humanity will need to face its greatest challenge. The diverse ramifications of the climatic crisis are perhaps the most evident proof of this. This dual-lingual multiauthor volume reflects different perspectives of envisioning an eco-social change towards a more sustainable and just society. Musings on the philosophical implications of utopias, ecofeminism, biopolitics, and biomimicry come together with photography and participatory documentaries. "Envisioning Change: Environmental Humanities" opens with an essay from one of Spain’s foremost essayists on environmental philosophy, Jorge Riechmann. Litera...
El lenguaje de los jóvenes rumanos y españoles en el ámbito de las redes sociales
El presente trabajo versa sobre la comunicación mediada por ordenador de los jóvenes rumanos y españoles en algunas de las plataformas virtuales que han aparecido gracias a la nueva generación de páginas web (Web 2.0). Los veloces avances tecnológicos de las últimas décadas han desembocado en nuevas maneras de establecer relaciones sociales en la red y en el uso de un lenguaje que representa una de las más controvertidas realidades relacionadas con nuestra manera de comunicarnos. El estudio se construye en torno a los principales rasgos lingüísticos identificados, expuestos en función del nivel lingüístico al que le pertenecen (léxico, morfológico, sintáctico, ortográfico, de la puntuación, pragmático) y abordados de forma comparativa, teniendo en cuenta las similitudes y las diferencias entre el modo de expresión de los jóvenes rumanos y el de los españoles. Asimismo, se especifica la manera en la que esas particularidades varían en función de la plataforma utilizada (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter y Tinder).
