Transnational bodies: Embodiment of transnational settings

2016

AbstractThe everyday life of more and more people is characterized by transnationalism. People increasingly interact across borders and in a network of transnational relationships. While interactions may be border-crossing, the actors’ body remains situated and limited in time and space. However, the thesis of this paper is that transnationalism processes are embodied. Thus, we speak of an embodiment of transnational settings. We focus on symbolic interactionism – Charles H. Cooley and George H. Mead in particular provide a large repertoire of concepts – to theoretically conceive transnational bodies. To show how transnational embodiment can manifest itself we use the example of young peopl…

Worlds apart, drawn together: Bears, penguins and biodiversity in climate change cartoons

2021

This study shows how cartoonists use iconic and stereotypical animals in their works to reflect society’s knowledge about the effects of climate change. Studying 1022 climate change cartoons including depictions of animals, we noticed that there is very little biodiversity depicted in cartoons. Cartoonists generally avoid using animals indigenous to their own countries; this point is especially true regarding the low presence of insects and other invertebrates. This text also encourages cartoonists to adhere to some recommendations to improve climate change communication. These guidelines are (1) using indigenous wildlife, (2) depicting invertebrate wildlife, (3) improving their knowledge …

Performance analysis of Alamouti-coded OFDM systems over spatio-temporally correlated underwater acoustic channels

2017

In this paper, we analyze the performance of Alamouti-coded orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems over time-varying underwater acoustic (UWA) channels. A realistic UWA channel model has been considered, which can be correlated in either time or space or simultaneously in both domains. An exact analytical expression for the bit error probability (BEP) is necessary to analyze accurately the performance of Alamouti-coded OFDM systems over the spatio-temporally correlated UWA channel model. Hence, by using this UWA channel model, an expression has been derived for the BEP of Alamouti-coded OFDM systems assuming that the receiver knows perfectly the channel state information.…

Press and bullfighting. The strength of the emotions

2018

Las corridas de toros fueron, tanto por el número asistentes como por la cantidad de festejos que se llevaron a cabo, el primer gran espectáculo de masas que se conoció en España. Enraizado en la fiesta popular, el espectáculo taurino será reconvertido en fiesta nacional a fines del siglo XIX, con el concurso de una prensa que crece en la misma medida que lo hace el sensacionalismo, y el interés de un Estado que utilizará las emociones de los toros para fomentar el amor a la patria. En este trabajo se aborda la dimensión cultural del festejo, su utilización política y el papel fundamental que juega la prensa. The bullfights were the first big spectacle of masses that was known in Spain, so …

Controversias en la transición del libro de texto en papel y electrónico a los contenidos digitales

2018

It is suggested that, given the economic and cultural scale that the book represents in our society, the layout of the paper and digital version will live together for a long time. Therefore, textbooks will suffer a very similar fate. The current change is focused on the transformation of textbooks in digital content with different formats and access routes. Through this process, we are studying the disputes that these changes cause, whereas they reflex the level of assimilation of the technological innovations on the part of citizens. By means of ethnographic strategies, we try to understand inductively how different educational agents are accepting such innovations. The centres that we ha…

Terrorism communication : characteristics and emerging perspectives in the scientific literature 2002–2011

2013

This paper aims to clarify current knowledge on the contribution of communication to crisis management in the case of terrorism incidents. This is done by means of a systematic review of the scientific literature on terrorism communication over the last 10 years to identify the many challenges facing communication in such crises, and represents the first attempt of its kind. To date, within the literature on terrorism communication, much attention has been paid to chemical, biological, radiological or nuclear hazards. Terrorism crises are complex and challenging. Preparedness for such diverse low-probability high-impact crises can best be included in a wider educative approach. Terrorism cr…

Kommunikation über Suizide

2019

Angesichts von jahrlich mehr als 800.000 Todesfallen weltweit, davon mehr als 10.000 in Deutschland, kommt wirkungsvollen Masnahmen zur Suizidpravention auf nationaler wie internationaler Ebene entscheidende Bedeutung zu. Die Kommunikation uber Suizide gilt dabei zum einen als Risikofaktor, zum anderen als Moglichkeit, Suizide zu verhindern. Der Beitrag nahert sich diesem Spannungsfeld zwischen „Werther-“ und „Papageno-Effekt“, beschreibt theoretische Hintergrunde, Forschungsstand und Implikationen und leitet Empfehlungen fur die Kommunikations- und Medienpraxis ab.

Digital competence in teacher education: comparing national policies in Norway, Ireland and Spain

2021

This paper explores the development of policies dealing with teachers' digital competence in Norway, Ireland and Spain. Using a documentary research approach, the study analysed relevant policy documents from each country over a thirty-year period to the present day. Analysis of the documents highlights historical differences and similarities in how technology in education policies developed during that period and differences in how teacher education was addressed. Despite these differences, the analysis indicates a convergence in recent years towards a common understanding and the importance of teachers' digital competence influenced by supranational frameworks. The paper discusses the pot…
