Las interacciones mediáticas de la juventud boliviana: la competencia mediática de jóvenes de La Paz
2014
Se analizan los resultados de una investigación cualitativa en torno a los hábitos de consumo audiovisual y la competencia mediática de la juventud boliviana en la ciudad de La Paz. Los resultados del estudio muestran que la juventud de La Paz consume preferentemente programas televisivos, aunque se extiende con fuerza el uso de Internet, la telefonía móvil y los videojuegos, siendo los medios menos usados la radio y la prensa escrita. A pesar de percibirse como personas críticas, los jóvenes entrevistados muestran carencias en la importancia y necesidad de la educación mediática y de mayor reflexión acerca de los medios. São analisados os resultados de uma pesquisa qualitativa em torno dos…
Sobre la interiorización del espacio social
2009
The author explores the relationships between the exterior world and the inner world in the diverse types of messages and reproducing products of the mass media, analyzing the cultural roots, the ideological, political, and social features that these relationships show. The different reproducing cultural forms create passages and virtual spaces which mediates the space to link it with the inner life. Above all, the author finds that the meditating and informative processing of the public space has a direct link with the modern capitalism in its expansive and privatizing tendency, and it is essential to study today into depth the processes which connect the expansion pf cultural and informat…
The postmodern interstices within modernity: interpreting the historical controversy
2010
Será que existe algo como um postura pós-moderna? Propomo-nos reflectir sobre a postura cultural que está por trás da teoria pós-moderna. Se nos debruçarmos sobre os fundadores desse movimento, percebemos a que ponto a divisão moderno/pós-moderno constitui, de alguma forma, uma dicotomia artificial. Para além dos aspectos descritivos das mudanças sociais envolvidas no pós-modernismo, olhamos para a intenção originária que orienta os autores pós-modernos. A análise desses fundamentos permite-nos penetrar de forma relevante na própria ideia pós-moderna. A novidade pode ser realmente encontrada na postura reflexiva que caracteriza o pós-modernismo na sua conexão interna com a modernidade. Por …
The Role of Social Media in Societal Change : Cases in Finland of Fifth Estate Activity on Facebook
2015
The Internet can be used to reconfigure access to information and people in ways that can support networked individuals and enhance their relative communicative power vis-à-vis other individuals and institutions, such as by supporting collective action, sourcing of information, and whistle blowing. The societal and political significance of the Internet is a matter of academic debate, with some studies suggesting a powerful role in creating a “Fifth Estate,” and other studies challenging such claims. Research on this issue has not yet comprehensively focused on social network sites and those operating in a very liberal-democratic context. Based on an embedded case study of Facebook use in …
New Older Users’ Attitudes Toward Social Networking Sites and Loneliness: The Case of the Oldest-Old Residents in a Small Italian City
2021
Older adults make little use of social networking sites (SNS). SNS has become essential for maintaining social contacts and countering loneliness in the current era marked by the Covid-19 pandemic. This study explores the attitudes of the oldest-old on SNS after attending a training course on SNS use. The study’s goals are to investigate their personal experiences, choices of use and to survey their views on the usefulness of SNS and its effects on mitigating loneliness for older people. The interviews were conducted in the context of the “Ageing in a Networked Society—Social Experiment Study.” The participants, who were randomly selected for the course on SNS use, agreed to be interviewed…
A Cross-Cultural Perspective on the Privacy Calculus
2017
The “privacy calculus” approach to studying online privacy implies that willingness to engage in disclosures on social network sites (SNSs) depends on evaluation of the resulting risks and benefits. In this article, we propose that cultural factors influence the perception of privacy risks and social gratifications. Based on survey data collected from participants from five countries (Germany [ n = 740], the Netherlands [ n = 89], the United Kingdom [ n = 67], the United States [ n = 489], and China [ n = 165]), we successfully replicated the privacy calculus. Furthermore, we found that culture plays an important role: As expected, people from cultures ranking high in individualism found i…
Quantitative approaches for evaluating the influence of films using the IMDb database
2016
[EN] Why do films certain remain influential throughout film history? The purpose of this paper is to attempt to answer this question. To do so, we adopt some quantitative approaches that facilitate an objective interpretation of the data. The data source we have chosen for this study is the Internet Online Movie Database (IMDb), and in particular, one of its sections called "Connections", which lists references made to a film in subsequent movies and references made in the film itself to previous ones. The extraction and analysis of these networks of citations allows us to draw some conclusions about the most influential movies in film history, identifying their distinguishing features, an…
Archives and documents in the digital age
2017
Este artículo se propone reflexionar sobre algunas de las características del nuevo orden digital. En particular, se centra en las mutaciones que afectan a los conceptos de archivo y documento, así como a sus rasgos más destacados. Partiendo del hecho de que estos registros son fundamentales para cualquier estudioso del pasado, indaga sobre las consecuencias de su desmaterialización. Se examina el significado de ese espacio en algunas de sus dimensiones y se subraya la evidente paradoja que supone conservar y estudiar objetos o datos que son efímeros por naturaleza y que, en su mayoría, nacieron para morir rápidamente. The paper aims to examine and explore on some of the characteristics of …
Vor-und Nachteile der Digitalisierung bei der Arbeit von Sprachexpertinnen und –experten
2020
While the future of work is discussed from many perspectives, discussions on how an individual's own work tasks are changing are relatively rare (Dufva et al. 2017). This article builds on our alumni study (Selkälä, Tahkokorpi & Virtaluoto 2018), in which we discovered that despite the perceived changes in working life - often called the disruption of work - the foreign language alumni of the Oulu University have found permanent positions in the traditional professions of language graduates with relative ease. For them, the disruption of work has not affected employability or the terms of employment. To investigate how working life has changed for people in these professions, we gathered gr…
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…
