Latin Politics, Global Media
The globalization of media industries that began during the 1980s and 1990s occurred at the same time as the establishment of or return to democratic forms of government in many Latin American countries. In this volume of specially commissioned essays, thirteen well-known media experts examine how the intersection of globalization and democratization has transformed media systems and policies throughout Latin America. Following an extensive overview by editors Elizabeth Fox and Silvio Waisbord, the contributors investigate the interaction of local politics and global media in individual Latin American countries. Some of the issues they discuss include the privatization and liberalization of the media, the rise of media conglomerates, the impact of trade agreements on media industries, the role of the state, the mediazation of politics, the state of public television, and the role of domestic and global forces. The contributors address these topics with a variety of theoretical approaches, combining institutional, historical, economic, and legal perspectives.
A Global Standard for Reporting Conflict
A Global Standard for Reporting Conflict constructs an argument from first principles to identify what constitutes good journalism. It explores and synthesises key concepts from political and communication theory to delineate the role of journalism in public spheres. And it shows how these concepts relate to ideas from peace research, in the form of Peace Journalism. Thinkers whose contributions are examined along the way include Michel Foucault, Johan Galtung, John Paul Lederach, Edward Herman and Noam Chomsky, Manuel Castells and Jurgen Habermas. The book argues for a critical realist approach, considering critiques of ‘correspondence’ theories of representation to propose an innovative conceptualisation of journalistic epistemology in which ‘social truths’ can be identified as the basis for the journalistic remit of factual reporting. If the world cannot be accessed as it is, then it can be assembled as agreed – so long as consensus on important meanings is kept under constant review. These propositions are tested by extensive fieldwork in four countries: Australia, the Philippines, South Africa and Mexico.

Infancias de Mazapán
La opción tomada por el mundo adulto al momento de concebir una idea de música para la infancia se traduce en fórmulas que priorizan la repetición y la simplificación: melodías breves, con una cantidad mínima de materiales y desarrollos temáticos; predominancia de una textura melodía y acompañamiento; propuesta rítmica basada en compases y ritmos regulares; ausencia de contrastes; o desarrollos armónicos siempre evidentes. En contraposición a esto, en 1980 surge Mazapán, una agrupación chilena creadora de música para la infancia. Su motivación fundacional fue concebir un repertorio que constituyera una alternativa a esa música dirigida a la infancia: canciones provenientes del repertorio tradicional y las concebidas y difundidas por la industria radial, televisiva y discográfica, focalizadas más en el entretenimiento que en lo formativo. Se inició así una compleja propuesta que puso en juego recursos y procedimientos provenientes de la música antigua europea, el repertorio tradicional de distintas culturas y la música popular.
