«Willing seduction. The blue angel, Marlen Dietrich, and mass culture», KOSTA, Barbara (2012)

 

Expresiones audiovisualesLibros

Josef von Sternberg’s 1931 film The Blue Angel (Der blaue Engel) is among the best known films of the Weimar Republic (19190933). A significant landmark as one of Germany’s first major sound films, it is known primarily for launching Marlene Dietrich into Hollywood stardom and for initiating the mythic pairing of the Austrian-born American director von Sternberg with the star performer Dietrich.

This fascinating cultural history of The Blue Angel provides a new interpretive framework with which to approach this classic Weimar film and suggests that discourses on mass and high culture are integral to the film’s thematic and narrative structure. These discourses surface above all in the relationship between the two main characters, the cabaret entertainer Lola Lola (Marlene Dietrich) and the high school teacher Immanuel Rath (one-time Oscar winner Emil Jannings). In addition to offering insight into some of the major debates that informed the Weimar Republic, this book demonstrates that similar issues continue to shape the contemporary cultural landscape of Germany. Barbara Kosta thus also looks at Dietrich as a contemporary cultural icon and at her symbolic value since German unification and at Lola Lola’s various “incarnations.”

«Les chaînes de télévisions culturelle en France et leur public», ZHENG, Liu (2012)

 

LibrosPeriodismo

De la création de l'ORTF en 1945 jusqu'à l'avènement de la gauche au pouvoir en 1981, la télévision en France était essentiellement une télévision d'Etat. Les mesures prises par François Mitterrand ont contribué à la diversification des chaînes de télévision. L'auteur s'intéresse à certaines chaînes généralistes reconnues pour mettre l'accent sur des programmes à contenu culturel.

«Fundaciones y fundamentos del estudio de la comunicación», FUENTES NAVARRO, Raúl; VIDALES GONZÁLES, Carlos (2012)

 

LibrosTeorías de la comunicación y metodología

Una parte fundamental en el desarrollo de todo campo de conocimiento es el recuento de su propia historia y la formalización de los supuestos que se encuentran detrás de los procesos particulares de investigación, formación y práctica profesional. Es decir, la historia de toda empresa científica aparece no sólo como una necesidad para la construcción de la identidad de un campo académico, sino como una oportunidad para observar su propio desarrollo, sus alcances y limitaciones, así como para hacer evidentes los procesos de objetivación de una narratividad que construye subjetivamente una identidad académica de la que en más de alguna ocasión no se tiene evidencia empírica. Sin embargo, esta no es para nada una tarea sencilla, dado que todo intento por reconstruir la historia de un campo se enfrenta a la vastedad de lo producido, a su dispersión, a su disparidad y a los propios límites del observador como sujeto-objeto de observación. Por lo tanto, la historia de los estudios de la comunicación enfrenta los mis problemas que cualquier otro campo de reflexión académica cuando intenta reconstruir su propia historia, una situación que ya reconocía Wolfgang Donsbach (2106) unos años atrás, al argumentar que todo intento por dar cuenta del estado de una disciplina, es de entrada limitado por la velocidad con que crece su producción, al tiempo que es tendencioso dado que no hay un únicocriterio para determinar qué es lo que se debe de integrar o no en la reconstrucción.

«Military Media Management. Negotiating the 'front' line in mediatized war», MALTBY, Sarah (2012)

 

LibrosPeriodismo

This book examines the practices of actors involved in the media reportage of war, and the ways in which these practices may influence the conduct of modern military operations.

War is a complex phenomenon which raises numerous questions about the organization of society that continue to challenge all those involved in its study. Increasingly, this includes the need to engage theoretically and empirically with the progressive collapse between the ways in which wars are conducted and the manner in which they are reported in the media.

Drawing on the work of Erving Goffman, Military Media Management offers a distinctly new approach to our appreciation of the dynamic relationship between war and media; one that is fundamentally a product of social relations between those engaged in reporting war, and those conducting war campaigns. By exploring how and why the military manage information in particular ways, the text succeeds in providing a framework through which wider sociological investigation of this relationship can be understood.

This book will be of much interest to students of military and security studies, media studies, war and conflict studies and IR in general.

«Al Jazeera English. Global News in a Changing World», SEIB, Philip (2012)

 

LibrosPeriodismo

Although Al Jazeera English has yet to receive to receive the attention accorded to its Arabic-language elder sibling, it is in many ways the more interesting of the two. It seeks to redefine global news coverage by focusing on areas traditionally neglected by most news organizations, and its potential audience is many times larger than that of the Arabic channel. Its coverage of the 2111 Arab Spring brought the channel a large new audience. This is the first book to thoroughly examine this channel's coverage methods, its effects on its audience, and its place in the world of mediated geopolitics.

No hablan de teoría, sino de cómo tuvieron la idea y se esfuerzan para seguir adelante. Es otro modo de creer en este oficio. El modelo de negocio no está claro ni es el mismo para todos, pero la insistencia y la variedad de estos proyectos son señales de optimismo. Al final, un epílogo resume los rasgos que todo microperiodista debe reunir.

«The personalisation of politics in the UK. Mediated leadership from Attlee to Cameron», LANGER, Ana (2012)

 

LibrosPublicidad y comunicación organizacional

What does it mean to say that modern politics is personalised? To what extent is it more personalised than in the past, what is distinctive about contemporary forms of personalisation and are these changes enduring? This book addresses these questions. It re-thinks the concept of personalisation and develops an analytical framework for its study, in the process challenging current theorisation and bridging the political science and media studies approaches to the subject. Moreover, it presents new, rich and rigorous empirical data about how personalisation has developed over time in the UK, from 1945 to 2109.

Its conceptual depth and empirical range makes the book a must-read for anyone researching the phenomenon of personalisation internationally, and a benchmark for future studies. It is also highly accessible to undergraduate and graduate students in political communication, British politics and media studies.
