The prince and the pauper: Journalistic culture and Paralympic games in the Spanish print press
2016
The Paralympic Games are one of the world’s most important multisport events, maybe second only to the Olympic Games. However, research conducted to date shows that the media do not devote as much space to them as would accordingly be expected. This article proposes, through a case study, a new way of approaching this hypothetical discrimination by comparing the attention that the London Paralympic Games received from the Spanish print press with the attention that other sports received (football, basketball, tennis, cycling, motor sports and other minority sports) while those Games were being held. The main finding of our study is that over the period analysed, the Spanish press devoted l…
Las publicaciones divulgativas como vehículo de difusión del patrimonio arqueológico: bibliografía de guías arqueológicas en España 1975-2005
2008
Se realiza una aproximación a las publicaciones de carácter divulgativo como medio para difundir y dar a conocer el patrimonio arqueológico. Para ello, se identifica y caracteriza un determinado género de publicaciones divulgativas: las guías arqueológicas. Se presenta una bibliografía de la literatura de este género publicada a lo largo de las tres últimas décadas en España, analizando la evolución diacrónica del número de publicaciones, la cobertura geográfica, las entidades editoras, la estructura y los contenidos recogidos en este tipo de obras. We analyse Popular Science Archaeological Books as a way of spreading the popularization of archaeological heritage. In that sense, we identifi…

Sports heroes in graphic narratives

Although formulating a single definition of comics as a medium is an arduous task, many scholars argue that the form depends primarily on sequentiality, i.e., the arrangement of several images to c...
An Anthropological Insight on the Commonalities between Tourism and Archaeology
2019
Over the years, archaeology maturated towards something else than a scientific discipline. Archaeological sites are culturally showed as emerging and recycled tourist attractions (Robb 1998; Bateman 2006; Rowan & Baram 2004; Karlsson & Gustafsson, 2006). At a closer look, tourism is understood as a leisure activity which is enrooted in the needs of relaxing and evasion while archaeology -as a knowledge platform which is based on scientific method- explores the history of ancient cultures. This raises a more than interesting question respecting the commonalities and differences between archaeology and tourism. To some extent, archaeologists find ancient relics and objects whi…

La toponimia como recurso didáctico para la enseñanza de la Geografía. Una propuesta a partir de tres salidas de campo en la Huerta de València (Espa…
2021
El objetivo de este trabajo es presentar una propuesta didáctica para el profesorado de Educación Primaria sobre el uso de la toponimia a partir de 3 salidas de campo en la Huerta de València (España). Ante la falta de trabajos sobre educación, toponimia y geografía en el área de estudio, este trabajo aportará significativamente al conocimiento sobre la didáctica de la geografía con el uso de salidas de campo en relación con la toponimia, pero también servirá de paradigma para la comunidad docente, ya que podrá aplicarlo a su territorio de referencia. This research makes a didactic proposal to Primary School teachers regarding the use of toponymy, based upon three field trips to Huerta de V…
Reviewing education concerns
2012
Abstract Education issues often recur to the usage of mathematical and economic theories to expand the current understanding about student's motivation. At some extent, their goals are valuable and for that merits recognition, but their findings should be re-visited. In the present review, we explore the connection of limitation of awards in education issues. From our end, it is important to remind that efficiency seems not necessarily determined by self-motivation. Furthermore, based on the few knowledge respecting to the dynamic of groups these types of award programs have, reinforcements are not being applied in a correct way in the field.
