Historia de la comunicación

Catálogo de la muestra organizada en el Centro Documental de la Memoria Histórica de Salamanca . La pegatina se convirtió durante el proceso político que dio lugar a la Transición en una extraordinaria herramienta propagandística de difusión ideológica y resulta un medio imprescindible para entender mejor este periodo de nuestra historia. La exposición está dividida en una serie de bloques que abarcan tanto las diversas ideologías políticas articuladas a través de partidos y sindicatos, como los movimientos que entonces tuvieron un cierto vigor en la sociedad española. El objetivo es ofrecer al espectador una lectura de nuestra transición a la democracia a través de cientos de pegatinas, reflejo del cúmulo diverso de idearios y creencias que trajo consigo aquel periodo histórico.

Dans la plupart des pays de l'Union Européenne, à commencer par la France, la communication politique des élections au Parlement européen de 2109 s'est placée sous le signe paradoxal de l'absence de l'Europe dans les débats. Les enjeux politiques, économiques et sociaux de chacun des pays ont largement pris le pas sur l'objet théorique de la communication, l'élection des députés de l'Union Européenne et les enjeux européens corollaires.

This unique anthology assembles primary documents chronicling the development of the phonograph, film sound, and the radio. These three sound technologies shaped Americans' relation to music from the late nineteenth century until the end of the Second World War, by which time the technologies were thoroughly integrated into everyday life. There are more than 121 selections between the collection's first piece, an article on the phonograph written by Thomas Edison in 1878, and its last, a column advising listeners "desirous of gaining more from music as presented by the radio." Among the selections are articles from popular and trade publications, advertisements, fan letters, corporate records, fiction, and sheet music. Taken together, the selections capture how the new sound technologies were shaped by developments such as urbanization, the increasing value placed on leisure time, and the rise of the advertising industry. Most importantly, they depict the ways that the new sound technologies were received by real people in particular places and moments in time.

"Filled with great selections, Music, Sound, and Technology in America is a salutary addition to a media studies literature lacking in such sourcebooks. It provides a ready-made trove of primary source material to use in classroom discussions of historical interpretation and methodology. In addition, by juxtaposing materials on diverse aspects of sound, the editors avoid the persistent habit of segmenting sound studies by medium or mode."-Jonathan Sterne, author of MP3: The Meaning of a Format

Esta obra realiza una aproximación a los gustos, la moral y las costumbres de nuestros antepasados utilizando como fuente documental una selección de cerca de 310 impresos de la literatura de cordel, conservados en el Fondo de Hazañas de la Biblioteca de Humanidades de la Universidad de Sevilla, haciendo hincapié en el protagonismo andaluz de este “género menor”, que gozó del aplauso de la población humilde.

De esta manera se reivindica la necesidad de utilizar el romancero vulgar como una fuente histórica alternativa a las obras escritas por las élites y que tan sólo ofrecen la visión sesgada de la clase hegemónica de la España dieciochesca y decimonónica. La hipótesis de la investigación se basa en la concepción de que la prensa popular cumplió una importante función social al ser un altavoz de la mentalidad de las clases bajas.

El propósito es invitar al lector a echar la vista atrás desde una perspectiva libre, la del pueblo, que ha sido tradicionalmente silenciada por el poder y que también reclama su sitio en la Historia.

This cutting-edge text offers an introduction to the emerging field of media archaeology and analyses the innovative theoretical and artistic methodology used to excavate current media through its past.
Written with a steampunk attitude, What is Media Archaeology? examines the theoretical challenges of studying digital culture and memory and opens up the sedimented layers of contemporary media culture. The author contextualizes media archaeology in relation to other key media studies debates including software studies, German media theory, imaginary media research, new materialism and digital humanities.
What is Media Archaeology? advances an innovative theoretical position while also presenting an engaging and accessible overview for students of media, film and cultural studies. It will be essential reading for anyone interested in the interdisciplinary ties between art, technology and media.

Today, computers are part of kids’ everyday lives, used both for play and for learning. We envy children’s natural affinity for computers, the ease with which they click in and out of digital worlds. Thirty years ago, however, the computer belonged almost exclusively to business, the military, and academia. In Engineering Play, Mizuko Ito describes the transformation of the computer from a tool associated with adults and work to one linked to children, learning, and play. Ito gives an account of a pivotal period in the 1981s and 1990s, which saw the rise of a new category of consumer software designed specifically for elementary school–aged children. “Edutainment” software sought to blend various educational philosophies with interactive gaming and entertainment, and included such titles as Number Munchers, Oregon Trail, KidPix, and Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego?.

The children’s software boom (and the bust that followed), says Ito, can be seen as a microcosm of the negotiations surrounding new technology, children, and education. The story she tells is both a testimonial to the transformative power of innovation and a cautionary tale about its limitations.

About the Author

Mizuko Ito is a cultural anthropologist who studies new media use, particularly among young people, in Japan and the United States, and a Professor in Residence at the University of California Humanities Research Institute.

The visionaries of early motion pictures thought that movies could do more than just entertain. They imagined the medium had the potential to educate and motivate the audience. In national and local contexts from Europe, North America, and around the world, early filmmakers entered the domains of science and health education, social and religious uplift, labor organizing and political campaigning. Beyond the Screen captures this pioneering vision of the future of cinema.

En la Península Ibérica convergen literaturas vinculadas a estados-nación, literaturas nacionales sin
rango estatal e incluso literaturas anacionales (como las escritas en hebreo o árabe), por no hablar de las que adquieren una dimensión extrapeninsular, como la hispanoamericana, la lusófona o, con otro criterio, la europea. De ahí la importancia de plantearse, como ha hecho Fernando Cabo, la cuestión del lugar de la literatura española, que implica cuestiones como la misma invención del concepto (con una decisiva aportación de extranjera), la recepción que ha tenido en Europa a lo largo de los siglos, su relación con otras tradiciones literarias, la importancia que cobra el relato de lo oriental o la dimensión americana (de la época colonial a la universalización del boom, pasando por el modernismo). El presente ensayo completa con una perspectiva global, de corte comparatista, las aportaciones de los volúmenes anteriores de esta Historia.

A profusão de material iconográfico legado pela tradição e a análise renovada dos textos antigos exigem recursos teóricos cada vez mais apurados para dar conta de todo um campo de problemas e conceitos relativos à produção de imagens – plásticas, visuais, psíquicas e verbais. Os textos de pesquisadores brasileiros e estrangeiros reunidos nesta obra abordam a temática a partir de textos que vão da visibilidade na vida política e das relações entre as tradições imagética e narrativa nas artes e na poesia até as teorias filosóficas da Antiguidade tardia, passando pelos pré-socráticos, Platão, Aristóteles e Epicuro.
