Competitive Discourses among the Valencian Right Wing: Communication and strategy in the 2019 regional elections
2020
The 2019 regional government election in The Valencian Country led to a new panorama on the Right. For the first time, there were three political parties competing for votes. In addition, the notoriety gained by the Far Right created a new political scene, posing a challenge to other parties. This paper analyses how the Partido Popular, Ciudadanos and Vox managed a campaign in which they were both electoral opponents but also potentially future parliamentary allies. The research examines the performance and campaign discourse of these three parties based on content analysis of the coverage of two newspapers’ (Levante-EMV and Las Provincias). The study examines the preferred frames of refere…
La memoria de/en los objetos. Artesanía, dibujos y bordados clandestinos de los presos políticos en la cárcel de Córdoba (Argentina, 1976-1979)
2020
Entre 1976 y 1979, cientos de presos políticos en la cárcel de Córdoba fueron sometidos a un régimen de completo aislamiento e inactividad. Se prohibieron estrictamente las cartas, visitas familiares, diarios, revistas, actividades manuales, gimnasia y deportes con el objetivo de destruirlos física y psicológicamente. Para aliviar el tedio los presos elaboraron clandestinamente artesanías, dibujos y bordados con herramientas prohibidas como huesos, clavos, hilos de toalla y tela de jean. Algunos de estos objetos fueron preservados con gran riesgo y sacados de la cárcel casi siempre de manera clandestina. Ellos guardan la memoria de una experiencia colectiva de resistencia dentro de una cárc…
Glimmering utopias: 50 years of African film
2010
The history of African film began in the 1960s with the independence of the colonies. Despite all kinds of political and economic difficulties, numerous films have been made since then, featuring wide-ranging processes of consolidation, differentiation and transformation which were characteristic of post-colonial sub-Saharan Africa. However, these feature films should not merely be viewed as back references to specifically African problems. The glimmering fictions are imagination spaces. They preserve ideas about how the post-colonial circumstances should be approached. Seen from this perspective, the history of African film may be studied as a history of African utopias. Die Geschichte des…
La desinformació multimodal sobre l’alteritat a Internet. Difusió de boles racistes, xenòfobes i islamòfobes el 2020
2021
espanolEste trabajo estudia la construccion de la imagen de la otredad a traves de la desinformacion en Internet. Para ello, aplica una metodologia de analisis de contenido a los 161 bulos de caracter racista, xenofobo o islamofobo desmentidos en 2020 por los cuatro medios espanoles de verificacion de informacion acreditados por la International Fact-Checking Network: Maldita.es, Newtral, Efe Verifica y Verificat.

Los atributos mas transmitidos asociaron la otredad a la recepcion de ayu…
Popularity-driven science journalism and climate change: A critical discourse analysis of the unsaid
2018
Abstract This study traces popularity-driven coverage of climate change in New Scientist with the special aim of identifying which aspects of the issue have been backgrounded. Unlike institutional communication or quality press coverage of climate change, commercial science journalism has received less attention with respect to how it frames the crisis. Assuming that the construction of newsworthiness in popular science journalism requires eliminating, or at least obscuring, some alienating information, the study identifies prevalent frames, news values and discursive strategies in the outlet’s most-read online articles on climate change (2013–2015). With the official statement of the World…
Representation of Children’s Views in Finnish Newspaper Media Across Three Decades
2020
As the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) celebrates its thirtieth anniversary, it is relevant to explore how understandings of children’s rights have appeared during these three decades. As a key public actor in society, the media provides an interesting field in which to study the salience of children’s rights in societal and public discussions. Thus, in this article, we examine how children’s views are represented in «Helsingin Sanomat», the main national newspaper of Finland, in 1997, 2007, and 2017. This examination is based on articles 12 and 13 of the UNCRC, where it is stated that children have the right to express themselves in all matters affecting them. …
Victors, Vanquished and Neutrals: The Swedish Press and the Nuremberg Trial
2011
After the shock of the ghastly revelations from the liberated concentration camps began to wane in late spring 1945, there was little written on the Nazi genocide in the Swedish press until autumn 1945. As elsewhere, the attention and energies of the newspaper media were directed to covering other tumultuous events of the world. For example, the Swedish press followed closely the developments in its neighbouring countries — not least Finland, which seemed to be on the verge of a Soviet-instigated coup, and therefore caused a lot of anxiety and discussion in the Swedish press. In line with the concept of Nordic Brotherhood, as discussed in Chapter 3, the Swedish press functioned as a channel…

Impact of Demand Response Control Logic on Isolated Island's Distribution Networks
2019
The work presents the results of a study regarding the impact of some Demand Response control logics on an isolated distribution network. The proposed control is divided into precise steps in which the coordination between the general aggregator controller and the single local Energy Management Systems is developed and illustrated with details. The control is applied to the flexible loads and to the storage systems of photovoltaic plants installed at the end-users' houses and connected to the network. The study is carried out delivering a suitable network model of the island's system, with the implementation of load profiles for all the loads of the network for a total simulation time of 24…
Hybrid Engagement: Discourses and Scenarios of Entrepreneurial Journalism
2018
Although the challenge posed by social media and the participatory turn concerns culture and values at the very heart of journalism, journalists have been reluctant to adopt participatory values and practices. To encourage audience participation and to offer journalism that is both trustworthy and engaging, journalists of the future may embrace a hybrid practice of journalistic objectivity and audience-centred dialogue. As innovative and experimental actors, entrepreneurial journalism outlets can perform as forerunners of such a culture. By analysing discourses in the “About Us” pages of 41 entrepreneurial journalism outlets, the article examines the emerging journalistic ethos of entrepren…
