«Interrogating the Theory and Practice of Communication for Social Change. The Basis For a Renewal», THOMAS, Pradip Ninan; VAN DE FLIERT, Elske (2014)

1 de enero de 2014

A new addition to the Palgrave Studies in Communication for Social Change series, this book sets the stage for subsequent books by identifying and analysing the current gaps in the field. It critically reviews the theory and practice of Communication for Social Change (CSC) with a specific accent on the role played by structures in the creation of the discourses of CSC. Thomas and van de Fliert address issues relating to the political economy of international communication and development as the context of institutions and power structures in which CSC operates, and explore the attempts made over time, many in vain, to mainstream CSC policy and strategy. They conclude by arguing how a renewed focus on communication rights can further the belief that CSC practice should serve people's right to have their voices heard and their own goals articulated and pursued.

«Media in Egypt and Tunisia. From Control to Transition?», WEBB, Edward (2014)

Comunicación y culturaLibros

A year after popular uprisings overthrew dictators in Egypt and Tunisia, a former diplomat and press officer travelled to Cairo and Tunis to interview local journalists and learn about both their experiences under the previous regimes and how they were navigating the political transitions. Based on these conversations, the resulting study explains the shifting red lines under the Mubarak and Ben Ali regimes, examining how these lines were enforced and how the regimes manipulated media to manufacture popular acquiescence or apathy. A map emerges of an institutional and cultural media landscape that presents challenges to establishing the genuine public service media both countries need in order to thrive as democracies.

«Trust Ownership and the Future of News. Media Moguls and White Knights», ELLIS, Gavin (2014)

Comunicación y culturaLibros

Trust Ownership and the Future of News makes the case for an alternative structure that can sustain the forms of journalism necessary in a free, functioning democracy and which engender public confidence in the news media.
This ground-breaking study examines the past and present use of trustee governance by newspapers, public service broadcasters and news agencies in the United Kingdom, Ireland, the United States, Canada, South Africa, India, Australia and New Zealand. Its case studies of the Guardian, Irish Times and Tampa Bay Times – plus examination of the family trusts behind the Daily Mail, New York Times, Wall Street Journal and Washington Post – detail the principles, practices and lessons of trustee ownership that can be applied by the digital 'new media' generation entrusted with the future of news.

«Signos, Máquinas, Subjetividades», LAZZARATO, Maurizio (2014)

1 de enero de 2014

LibrosPublicidad y comunicación organizacional

É inegável: o capitalismo precisa e produz uma subjetividade à sua imagem e semelhança. Mas como isso se dá no contexto atual? Inspirado no pensamento original de Félix Guattari, para o qual, aliás, este livro constitui excelente introdução, Maurizio Lazzarato dis- seca aqui as modalidades de “sujeição” produzidas pelo neoliberalismo, bem como a “servidão maquínica” que lhe é inerente. É toda uma dimensão pré-representacional, molecular e afetiva que assim vem à tona. As dinâmicas de existencialização, conforme a terminologia de Guattari, ou de subjetivação, segundo Foucault, ganham um papel preponderante no entrelaçamento entre o plano micro e macropolítico a que se propõe o autor.
Se a faceta polêmica está presente (contra a filosofia analítica, o lacanismo, a linguística, certo marxismo, bem como suas combinações – Badiou, Zizek, Rancière, Butler etc), é porque uma perspectiva filosófica e política imanente e agonística perpassa o livro como um todo, sem turvar o rigor e a clareza das análises.
Dispensável dizer a que ponto tudo isso serve para quem tenta compreender o que
se passa à nossa volta, por que a representa- ção política perde seu fôlego a cada dia, por onde passa e como funcionam os poderes hoje (a “ação sobre ação”, como dizia o último Foucault), e que modalidades de resistência efetiva se pode conceber.
Signos, máquinas, subjetividades representa, nesse contexto, um sopro vivo na imaginação política contemporânea.

«Visions of Science: Books and readers at the dawn of the Victorian age», SECORD, James (2014)

Comunicación y culturaLibros

Considers the changing role and perception of science in Britain at a critical turning point in the nineteenth century
Explores key works in the literature of science and their readers
Written by an internationally respected historian of science

The early 1831s witnessed an extraordinary transformation in British political, literary, and intellectual life. New scientific disciplines begin to take shape, while new concepts of the natural world were hotly debated. James Secord, Director of the Darwin Correspondence Project, captures this unique moment of change by exploring key books, including Charles Lyell's Principles of Geology, Mary Somerville's Connexion of the Physical Sciences, and Thomas Carlyle's satirical work, Sartor Resartus. Set in the context of electoral reform and debates about the extension of education to meet the demands of the coming age of empire and industry, Secord shows how the books were published, disseminated, admired, attacked and satirized.

«Ireland and the New Journalism», STEELE, Karen; DE NIE, Michael (Eds.) (2014)

1 de enero de 2014

LibrosPeriodismo

This volume of essays explore some of the diverse ways that W.T. Stead's complicated revolution in British newspapers and print journalism (the New Journalism) influenced Irish politics, culture, and newspaper practices. Irish journalism often reflected distinctively national or local concerns. Yet, its editors, innovations, preoccupations, and technologies benefited from increasingly transnational networks that were less constrained by or concerned with national, geographical, or even linguistic borders. Individually and collectively, these essays demonstrate some of the ways in which the new journalistic technologies and strategies of this era transformed the roles of editors and journalists in Ireland. The most comprehensive examination of the New Journalism and Ireland to date, this volume also further illuminates the central role of the press in the evolution of Irish nationalism and Irish modernism in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

«Literature and Photography in Transition, 18510915», CLAYTON, Owen (2014)

1 de enero de 2014

Historia de la comunicaciónLibros

Literature and Photography in Transition, 18510915 looks at how British and American writers used early photography and film as illustrations and metaphors. It concentrates on five figures in particular: Henry Mayhew, Robert Louis Stevenson, Amy Levy, William Dean Howells, and Jack London, each of whom deals with the transition between photographic methodologies. The book argues that their writing can be analysed most fruitfully via a consideration of technological difference.

Clayton examines how the transition between different methods affected the ways in which writers rethought photography. His central claim is that nineteenth-century authors were more aware of the particularities of different technologies than has previously been realised. Literature and Photography in Transition contributes to a better understanding of how nineteenth-century writers negotiated visual technologies. It provides a new means by which scholars can read the relationship between literature and early photography.
