‘Debating “l’esthéticisme” and “l’esthétisme “ in (some) French Periodicals’
2018
Starting with the two competing translations of aestheticism (esthétisme and estheticisme), this article is devoted to retracing the complex reception of the English term in various French journalistic writings between 1880 and 1900. I follow the semantic vicissitudes of the two terms and their cognates, ‘esthète’ and ‘esthétique’, as they circulated in public discourse through the press and magazines. In France, British aestheticism appears at first not to have been strictly differentiated from Pre-Raphaelitism, the latest developments of which were also percolating in the 1870s and 1880s in the sections of specific press and magazines.I pay less attention to the already well-documented re…
El móvil en las universidades como instrumento de respuesta de audiencias
2019
Internet y la introducción de la multimedia en el aula permiten al alumnado experimentar situaciones que complementan su formación. En los últimos años, el término aprendizaje móvil (m-Learning) ha llegado a popularizarse en los contextos educativos. Una de sus aplicaciones es el uso conjunto de la ludificación y las TIC en la enseñanza universitaria mediante los Instrumentos de Respuesta de Audiencias relacionados con la utilización de dispositivos móviles en el aula. Este estudio examina el efecto de utilizar dos plataformas online (Kahoot! y Socrative) en cuatro asignaturas impartidas en una universidad pública española durante el curso 2016-2017. Los objetivos de esta investigación son …
Docencia presencial, on-line o mixta: ¿Qué herramientas pedagógicas son mejor valoradas por el alumnado?
2020
[EN] The implementation of the Bologna process in Spanish universities, which has been active for a decade as of this academic year, facilitated the implementation of multiple teaching methodologies where numerous Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) and e-learning tools have had a place. Thus, at this point, an analysis ought to be carried out of the impact that their use may have had on the teaching-learning process for the students. The results from such study will allow selecting the tools that could potentially optimize the results of the aforementioned process. Once the best ones among them have been identified, and taking into account their face-to-face or online nature,…
Predicting mid-air gestural interaction with public displays based on audience behaviour
2020
Abstract Knowledge about the expected interaction duration and expected distance from which users will interact with public displays can be useful in many ways. For example, knowing upfront that a certain setup will lead to shorter interactions can nudge space owners to alter the setup. If a system can predict that incoming users will interact at a long distance for a short amount of time, it can accordingly show shorter versions of content (e.g., videos/advertisements) and employ at-a-distance interaction modalities (e.g., mid-air gestures). In this work, we propose a method to build models for predicting users’ interaction duration and distance in public display environments, focusing on …
Designing motion-based activities to engage students with autism in classroom settings
2015
We report on a nine-month-long observational study with teachers and students with autism in a classroom setting. We explore the impact of motion-based activities on students' behavior. In particular, we examine how the playful gaming activity impacted students' engagement, peer-directed social behaviors, and motor skills. We document the effectiveness of a collaborative game in supporting initiation of social activities between peers, and in eliciting novel body movements that students were not observed to produce outside of game play. We further identify the positive impact of game play on overall classroom engagement. This includes an "audience effect" whereby non-playing peers direct in…

CORPORATE SOCIAL IRRESPONSIBILITY AND AUDIENCE SUPPORT: LESSONS FROM THE PARMALAT SCANDAL
Lyrics against images: music and audio description
2012
Music has been an integral part of films from as far back as the silent movie era, where a piano accompaniment was used to build the narrative and an orchestra was used to drown out the sound of the projector. Music in films can encompass a wide array of elements, from a song to a whistle, and can play many roles, as has been commented upon by many researchers. Due to the relevance of music in film narrative, it is an element which merits attention when it comes to making a film accessible, be it through Audio description, Audio subtitling, Sign Language or Subtitling for the Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing. This article focuses on Audio description (AD) and how music is handled in audio described…
Cartelization process in institutionalized environments: legitimation and political communication
2017
International audience; The main objective of this paper is to analyze cartel party tendencies toward professionalization of communicative institutional processes (Mair, 015).The main role of the media in a audience democracy is indisputable (Manin, 1998). So the media politics are one of the main features of public space. In this way, Political parties have become platforms of placement of their leaders to occupy the largest number of institutional positions. Consequently, this phenomenon has spread as a common practice of our political system. The emergence of partisan elite, which has professionalized itself in high political-institutional positions, has colonized the leadership of publi…
Partisanship, Ideology, and Selective Exposure: A Longitudinal Analysis of Media Consumption in Spain (2008–2019)
2022
La literatura sobre exposición selectiva ha demostrado que la ideología y el voto gobiernan las decisiones de consumo de medios, pero los estudios longitudinales aún son escasos. Para llenar este vacío, este trabajo analiza: (a) si la exposición selectiva guiada por la ideología y el partidismo a tres tipos de medios (televisión, radio y periódicos) es un fenómeno estable en España (2008-2019) como se espera de un medio pluralista polarizado. sistema; y (b) qué variable tiene los efectos más fuertes en las elecciones de noticias (ideología o partidismo). Se realizan regresiones logísticas multinomiales utilizando fuentes de datos de seis encuestas postelectorales realizadas por el Centro de…
