Estructura y políticas de la comunicación

In The Politics of the Internet: Political Claims-making in Cyberspace and Its Effect on Modern Political Activism, R.J. Maratea explores the practices of political claims-making and activism in online environments in order to better understand whether Internet technology is presently a democratizing force that changes the balance of social power in the public sphere and empowers average citizens to be more active participants in mass media.

Richly detailed research from the point that our information and culture is manufactured – newsrooms, television studios, and myriad other culture producing institutions – is increasingly rare and difficult. Challenges to such research abound and are escalating, ranging from increasingly secretive corporate cultures which see little value in inviting observation of their work, to pressure on scholars to produce more with less – leading to faster and easier modes of research. The explosion in forms of cultural production and ever broader definitions of journalism make the object of analysis ever harder to identify for media production researchers. Chapter authors explore challenges to production research and offer novel approaches to revealing the hidden nature of media production through engagement with alternative theoretical paradigms and methodological innovation.

While neo-liberalism works with a vigorous concept of the free individual, the social sciences regard the individual as a socially positioned actor. In Media and Communications this perspective has been developed most sharply in the proposition of media framing. Media theorists including Manuel Castells and James Curran have debated the question of how media structures human cognition and agency. In this book Chris Rojek explores the relationship between media framing and political power. How does it transfer into political consciousness and activism? And what are the benefits and costs for media corporations such as Viacom or Time Warner? Rojek outlines a new concept – event consciousness – to describe the tendency of the media and network publics to view the world as a series of events, episodes, incidents and emergencies. The social reaction to this is a demand for immediate, direct, rapid action. Classic examples of this are the televised reports on the famine in Ethiopia which inspired Live Aid (1985) or the media coverage of 9/11, which precipitated the invasion of Iraq. He goes on to to link this media patterning to distinct forms of political consciousness characteristic of what Sheldon Wolin has referred to as inverted totalitarianism. Event Consciousness is a devastating critique of the influence of media on contemporary political power, rooted in both media and political theory that will become an essential text for students and scholars of both media studies and politics.

This timely Research Handbook contains an analysis of various legal questions concerning cyberspace and cyber activities and provides a critical account of their effectiveness. Expert contributors examine the application of fundamental international law principles to cyberspace such as sovereignty, jurisdiction, state responsibility, individual criminal responsibility, and intellectual property rights. In addition to this, they explore the application of international law rules to cyber terrorism, cyber espionage, cyber crime, cyber attacks and cyber war and discuss the cyber security policies of international and regional institutions.

Esta obra colectiva tiene su origen en el I Congreso Internacional sobre Propiedad Intelectual celebrado en la Universidad de Sevilla y en ella podrá encontrar el lector aportaciones muy valiosas de prestigiosos profesionales que le permitirán profundizar en el conocimiento de la propiedad intelectual. En dichas contribuciones se abordan temas de gran actualidad en un complejo contexto en el que la propiedad intelectual continúa centrando la atención de nuestro legislador (muestra de ello, lo es la reciente reforma de la LPI), preocupado por adecuar el régimen jurídico a las exigencias internacionales y, a la vez, por atender satisfactoriamente los distintos intereses concurrentes, objetivo prácticamente inalcanzable en este cambiante y competitivo mundo.

El presente trabajo se ha centrado en el análisis del control judicial y los parámetros utilizados por la jurisprudencia para resolver las colisiones entre derechos en materia de medios de comunicación, tanto desde una perspectiva comparada como del propio ordenamiento jurídico interno. Los actuales sistemas de control de los medios de comunicación tienden a confluir, con interconexiones entre los diferentes mecanismos de ejercicio del control, que sepueden caracterizar como actividades de autorregulación, corregulación y de regulación. La actividad de ponderación judicial tiende a objetivizar los comportamientos, de forma que se puede decir que configuran parámetros que funcionan como normas y que recaen sobre la responsabilidad de los medios para determinar la importancia del objeto o contenido de la información o el cumplimiento de un código ético de carácter profesional. La importancia creciente de los medios de comunicación audiovisual implicará que se extienda los parámetros combinados de control a los otros medios de comunicación como la prensa escrita, que deberá adoptar criterios de autorregulación, corregulación y de regulación similares a los utilizados en la Ley General de Comunicación Audiovisual y compatibles entre sí.

Originally published in 1983. This book presents a description and critical analysis of the communication systems and policy at the time in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, the Federal Republic of Germany, Sweden, Australia and New Zealand. It examines the technological and cultural forces shaping policy and communications development, and begins with a chapter presenting a review of the international context and of the conceptual frameworks suggested by scholars concerned with communication policy. Other chapters highlight the common trends among countries, and analyses the unique nature of policy and communications development in each country based on its cultural foundation.

All the contributions reflect a common theme which relates to the two distinct sources from which a nation’s communication policy can be studied – official statements about goals and means, and observable results of communication decisions and practices.

Originally published in 1977. Covering a wide international field and with the emphasis on communications in developing countries, this book contains chapters by eminent contributors looking at questions of policy, governance and planning in the field of mass communications. It also considers the role of the media in national development, multi-media education and critical theoretical issues bearing on the impact of modernization on traditional cultures. A few selected countries are discussed in detail – Iran, Brazil, India and the People’s Republic of Benin (then Dahomey) as well as the results of an international survey on the future of broadcasting. The book made recommendations for administrative reorganizations, network expansions and research requirements, some of which were implemented shortly afterwards.
