«Gutenberg 2.1. La revolución de los libros electrónicos», CORDÓN GARCÍA, José Antonio; GÓMEZ DÍAZ, Raquel; ALONSO ARÉVALO, Julio (2011)

01/01/2011

La edición electrónica es una realidad contundente en el mundo occidental. Si las revistas científicas abrieron el camino consolidándose como paradigmas digitales irreversibles en el ámbito académico, los libros, tanto científicos como comerciales, después de varios años sujetos a movimientos de signo contradictorio, han iniciado un camino que se va afianzando progresivamente. El libro electrónico es una realidad cada vez más consistente en el ámbito editorial, en el que los movimientos de mercado aleccionan sobre los posicionamientos favorables a los mismos emprendidos por las industrias culturales en general, y por las empresas de generación de contenidos en particular. Lo que estos movimientos pergeñan es el fin del libro, en el sentido tradicional del término, y el nacimiento de nuevas formas de lectura.

«As Alterações Climáticas, os Media e os Cidadãos», CARVALHO, Anabela (ed) (2011)

Comunicación y culturaLibros

Nas últimas duas décadas, as alterações climáticas transformaram-se numa questão pública e política de grande importância. Emergindo inicialmente da esfera científica, a questão conquistou um elevado nível de atenção nos media e noutras arenas públicas e desencadeou processos políticos inéditos. Com fortes ligações ao campo económico, as alterações climáticas têm também cruciais dimensões éticas e culturais.

Como é socialmente construído o significado desta questão complexa e multi-dimensional? Este livro procura responder a esta questão utilizando diferentes quadros teórico-conceptuais e diferentes métodos de recolha e análise de dados. O seu principal objectivo é compreender a relação entre os discursos de vários actores sociais, o discurso dos media e as representações sociais dos cidadãos sobre as alterações climáticas.

«Glamour. Women, History, Feminism», DYHOUSE, Carol (2011)

01/01/2011

Comunicación y culturaLibros

How do we understand 'Glamour'? Has it empowered women or turned them into objects? Once associated with modernity and the cutting edge, is it entirely bound up with nostalgia and tradition?

This unique and fascinating book tells the story of glamour. It explores the changing meanings of the word, its relationship to femininity and fashion, and its place in twentieth century social history. Using a rich variety of sources – from women's magazines and film to social surveys and life histories – Carol Dyhouse examines with wit and insight the history and meaning of costume, cosmetics, perfume and fur.

Dyhouse disentangles some of the arguments surrounding femininity, appearance and power, directly addressing feminist concerns. The book explores historical contexts in which glamour served as an expression of desire in women and an assertion of entitlement to the pleasures of affluence, finally arguing that glamour can't simply be dismissed as oppressive, or as male fantasy, but can carry celebratory meanings for women.

«Discourse Theory and Critical Media Politics», DAHLBERG, Lincoln; PHELAN, Sean (2011)

LibrosTeorías de la comunicación y metodología

Discourse Theory and Critical Media Politics offers a systematic examination of the relationship between post-Marxist discourse theory and critical media politics. The volume interrogates discourse theory – as read via the work of Ernesto Laclau and Chantal Mouffe – through an engagement with major approaches to critical media politics, including autonomist Marxism, Bourdieuian field theory, cultural studies, Habermasian public sphere theory, and semiotic theory. Contributors draw from a range of perspectives and disciplinary backgrounds to critically explore key theoretical issues in media politics, including the relationship between media practices and political practices, discourse and materiality, discourse and institutions, discourse and affect, the media and mediality, media and radical democracy, and the politics of new social movements. The book concludes with a chapter by leading international media studies scholar Peter Dahlgren, which in light of the book's contributions assesses the value of discourse theory to a critical media politics.

«Educar en medios de comunicación. La educación mediática», AMBRÓS, Alba; BREU, Ramón (2011)

01/01/2011

LibrosSociología de la comunicación

El valor añadido de un libro sobre educación mediática anida en la medida en que aporta ideas prácticas destinadas a padres, maestros o al propio estudiante. Desde hace más de tres décadas se viene hablando y escribiendo sobre la educación en medios pero pocos son los autores que transforman esa teoría en práctica. Y este es el caso del libro de Ambrós y Breu. El texto pertenece a la colección «11 ideas clave», lo cual implica que es un recurso para llevarlo a la experiencia. Cada uno de los capítulos abarca una de esas diez ideas que tienen como colofón un glosario con términos usuales en el mundo de la alfabetización mediática. Destaca igualmente cuatro secciones en cada uno de dichos capítulos: resumen; «en la práctica», que traduce lo expuesto en propuestas de acción; y «para saber más…», que reúne datos bibliográficos y de Internet en relación con el tema. De ese modo el lector puede encontrar cómodamente lo que busca en el momento que lo necesite.

«The New York Times Magazine Photographs», RYAN, Kathy (2011)

01/01/2011

Expresiones audiovisualesLibros

Aperture is pleased to present The New York Times Magazine Photographs, edited by Kathy Ryan, which reflects upon and interrogates the very nature of both photography and print magazines at this pivotal moment in their history and evolution. With a preface by former editorial director Gerald Marzorati, this volume presents some of the finest commissioned photographs worldwide in various sections, including reportage, portraiture, style, and conceptual photography, and photo illustration. Diverse in content and sensibility, and consistent in virtuosity, the photographs are accompanied by reproduced tear sheets to allow for the examination of sequencing and the interplay between text and image, simultaneously presenting the work while illuminating its distillation to magazine form. This process is explored further through texts offering behind-the-scenes perspective and anecdotes by the many photographers, writers, editors, and other collaborators whose voices have been a part of the magazine over the years.

«Es mi tipo. Un libro sobre fuentes tipográficas», GARFIELD, Simon (2011)

Expresiones audiovisualesLibros

Desde que las tipografías se mudaron a la barra de herramientas del ordenador todos comenzamos a tener una opinión sobre ellas. Hoy es imposible ignorar su poder, su omnipresencia en las marcas que nos rodean o el carácter que imprimen a nuestros textos. Y si no, ¿por qué despierta tantas antipatías el uso de Comic Sans? ¿A qué se debió el revuelo causado cuando Ikea fue infiel a Futura con Verdana? ¿Por qué Obama decidió optar por la Gotham como su distintivo gráfico? ¿Qué hace que una tipografía «funcione»?

Este divertido libro, profusamente ilustrado, cuenta la historia de más de doscientas fuentes desde su nacimiento ―y en algunos casos hasta su muerte― a través de anécdotas sobre su empleo, sus creadores y sus usuarios. Garfield explica los fenómenos que hay detrás del dominio de fuentes como Helvética o Times New Roman o del odio hacia otras como Papyrus. Es mi tipo tiene todas las respuestas para quienes alguna vez se preguntaron qué tienen en común EasyJet y los Beach Boys, cuál es la tipografía favorita de Hollywood o si, como las personas, algunas fuentes son de Marte y otras son de Venus.

«Magazine Journalism», HOLMES, Tim; NICE, Liz (2011)

01/01/2011

LibrosPeriodismo

Magazines are the most successful media format ever to have existed: so begins Magazine Journalism as it traces how magazines arose from their earliest beginnings in 1665 to become the ubiquitous format we know today. This book combats the assumptions among media academics as well as journalists that magazines somehow don't count, and presents a compelling assessment of the development and innovation at the heart of magazine publishing.

In magazines we find some of the key debates in journalism, from the genesis of 'marketing to the reader' to feminist history, subcultures and tabloidization. Embedding these questions in a thoroughly historical framework, Holmes and Nice argue for an understanding of magazine journalism as essential in the media landscape. Moving beyond the semiotic and textual analysis so favoured by critics of the past, the authors complete the story with an exploration of the production and consumption of magazines. Drawing on interviews with more than 31 magazine journalists across the industry, what emerges is a story of resilience, innovation and a unique ability to embrace new markets and readerships.

Magazine Journalism takes the reader to the heart of key questions in the past, present and future of journalism and is essential reading for students across media studies.
