Reviews
«This text uses literary journalism as a prism through which to critique journalism past and present, bringing journalism face to face with important critical debates facing not only societies in general but aspiring journalists. I would wholeheartedly recommend this book to all journalists, consumers of journalism and anybody concerned with the potential of this most varied of cultural products» (Martin Conboy, Professor of Journalism History, Sheffield University)

«Museos y Comunicación», VACAS GUERRERO, Trinidad; BONILLA SÁNCHEZ, Eusebio (2012)

Comunicación y culturaLibros

Los museos han experimentado profundos cambios en los últimos años que han afectado tanto a sus organigramas como a sus relaciones con el público, modificando muy sustancialmente sus sistemas de gestión. La adquisición de formas de gestión directa, la descentralización y la menor dependencia administrativa de instituciones a menudo lejanas, han transformado a los museos en organizaciones más ágiles, abiertas y comunicativas. Se trata de un entorno cambiante que conlleva la necesidad de abrir procesos de reflexión sobre los objetivos de los museos, así como el planteamiento de nuevas formas e instrumentos de gestión, como la investigación de un público diverso, la relación con los agentes turísticos y los gestores del ocio o la creación de foros para el intercambio de información entre profesionales del sector.

«Handbook of internal communication in hospitals, A.», MEDINA AGUERREBERE, Pablo (2012)

LibrosPublicidad y comunicación organizacional

The development of corporate communication in hospitals is increasingly common. However, the correct application of communication techniques in a social, human and business context as particular as the hospital sector requires a previous reflection about the role of the health professional and the patient in the corporate communication process developed by the hospital. This book highlights the major role that internal communication plays as a strategic axis of all corporate communication activities undertaken by the hospital. The existing differences among the health systems of different countries, such as the different legislations or the several management techniques, are the main reasons that justify the interest in theorizing about hospital internal communication from a global point of view. All ideas and conclusions developed in this book have a universal validity in all countries.

«Women and the Media in Asia. The Precarious Self», KIM, Youna (2012)

Comunicación y culturaLibros

To what extent do women have control over their lives? How do the media intersect with imagining different lives for women? This book is concerned with the changing lives of women; the troubling signs of female individualization as intersected with everyday media culture – a new arena of anxiety for women in contemporary Asia.

The book explores everyday media culture and the issues of women as 'consumers', women as 'representations' and women as 'creators', to offer an understanding of changing lives and frustrated desires, contradictions and dispersed sites of female individualization that are refracted into various degrees and forms.

At a time of significant changes in women's lives entering a much larger but precarious world of female individualization, this collection explores such phenomena by critically incorporating the parameters of popular media culture into the overarching paradigm of gender relations, economics and politics of everyday life. Drawing on perspectives from media and communications, sociology, cultural studies and anthropology, the book provides an insightful investigation into the evolving phenomena.

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.

«Taking Our Country Back. The Crafting of Networked Politics from Howard Dean to Barack Obama», KREISS, Daniel (2012)

LibrosPublicidad y comunicación organizacional

Taking Our Country Back presents the previously untold history of the uptake of new media in Democratic electoral campaigning over the last decade. Drawing on interviews with more than sixty political staffers, fieldwork during the 2108 primaries and general election, and archival research, Daniel Kreiss shows how a group of young, technically-skilled Internet staffers came together on the Howard Dean campaign and created a series of innovations in organization, tools, and practice that have changed the elections game. He charts how these individuals carried their innovations across Democratic politics, contributing to a number of electoral victories, including Barack Obama's historic bid for the presidency. In revealing this history, the book provides a rich empirical look at the communication tools, practices, and infrastructure that shape contemporary online campaigning.

Taking Our Country Back is a serious and vital analysis, both on-the-ground and theoretical, of how a small group of visionary people transformed what campaigning means today and how technical and cultural work coordinates collective action.

«La seducción de la música. Los secretos de nuestro instinto musical», DRÖSSER, Christop (2012)

Comunicación y culturaLibros

La música no deja indiferente prácticamente a nadie. Unas veces nos provoca ganas de llorar, otras es capaz de evocar recuerdos que considerábamos sepultados, y en el caso de algunas enfermedades puede llegar a ejercer un efecto curador.

Sin embargo, nos resistimos a considerarla objeto de estudio de los expertos. Y ese es precisamente el prejuicio que se propone desmontar La seducción de la música. ¿Por qué?: porque no hay nadie que no sea musical. Incluso las personas que creen que no sirven para la música poseen unas capacidades musicales asombrosas.

Christoph Drösser expone los fascinantes descubrimientos que han realizado los científicos a ese respecto. ¿Por qué nos gustan unas músicas y otras no? ¿Cómo consigue nuestro oído distinguir sonidos y ruidos concretos en el guirigay de ruidos y sonidos donde vivimos inmersos la mayor parte del tiempo? ¿Por qué existe la música?

El autor, por experiencia propia, anima a todos aquellos que todavía no practican la música, ¡a que comiencen cuanto antes!

«El lugar de la literatura española», CABO ASEGUINOLAZA, Fernando (2012)

Historia de la comunicaciónLibros

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.
