Business Communication and Social Media: Tendencies, Problems and Future in Latvia

2013

Such internet social media as blogs and micro-blogs, social networks, content communities, forums and wikis in Latvia are gaining more popularity among users. It also motivates companies to communicate in this environment. Brands are creating their profiles in social networks, blogging and communicating in forums and publishing video. However, crucial issue here is whether all Latvian companies use social media in their communication pursuant to the specifics of this environment.

Relational priming is to analogy-making as one-ball juggling is to seven-ball juggling

2008

Relational priming is argued to be a deeply inadequate model of analogy-making because of its intrinsic inability to do analogies where the base and target domains share no common attributes and the mapped relations are different. The authors rely on carefully handcrafted representations to allow their model to make a complex analogy, seemingly unaware of the debate on this issue 15 years ago. Finally, they incorrectly assume the existence of fixed, context-independent relations between objects. Although relational priming may indeed play some role in analogy-making, it is an enormous – and unjustified – stretch to say that it is “centrally implicated in analogical reasoning” (sect. 2, para…

Spin doctoring in British and German election campaigns: How the press is being confronted with a new quality of political PR

2000

The 1997 British and 1998 German general elections showed striking parallels and distinctive differences in the way Blair and Schroeder delivered their campaigns and defeated long-sitting conservative governments. Of vital importance was a new quality of political public relations called `spin doctoring'. In this, the British Labour Party served as a kind of role model for the German Social Democratic Party. This article traces the origins and different meanings of `spin doctoring' in both countries, distinguishes between media-related and non-media-related spin activities and analyses it against the background of the specific national contexts. The aims and methods of political spin doctor…

The Abbo glossary in London, British Library, Cotton Domitian i

1990

The process through which glossaries came into being can sometimes still be seen and studied in surviving manuscripts, and in such cases it provides a valuable index to the way in which Latin texts were studied in medieval schools. This is the case with an unprinted glossary in London, British Library, Cotton Domitian i. The glossary is mainly made up of words taken from bk III of the Bella Parisiacae urbis by Abbo of Saint-Germain-des-Prés, a work which was widely studied in English schools in the tenth and eleventh centuries, above all because of its unusual vocabulary. We know that Abbo drew the unusual vocabulary in his poem from pre-existing glossaries such as the Liber glossarum and t…

La industria del cómic en España: radiografía de ¿un mito o una realidad?

2011

In spite of the importance of figures referred to published titles, or number of copies printed, which help to set publishing strategies and to really know the comic situation in Spain, there are no liable data. We are giving in this article, some enlightening data along with some explanations related to the evolution of the market from 2001 to 2009. The different titles are grouped considering the place they come from (Europe, Asia, United States…), along with their format (album, book, magazine, comic-book…). Using all this information, we can deduce evolution lines, tendencies, futures perspectives in an industry that, despite its precariousness, is facing an increasing number of copies …

Topics and Argentine and Latin American Authors in Publishing Projects of the Galician Exiled in Argentina during the 40s

2016

En el contexto de la época de oro de la industria editorial argentina, un grupo de exiliados de ascendencia gallega desempeñó un papel destacado a través de la edición de revistas culturales y de colecciones de libros: De Mar a Mar y Correo Literario, Buen Aire, Mar Dulce, Paloma y Botella al Mar. El presente trabajo analiza el lugar que ocuparon los temas y los autores latinoamericanos –y, especialmente, argentinos– en esos proyectos editoriales, teniendo en cuenta las relaciones entre los exiliados y el campo cultural local.

Ediciones propagandísticas españolas en Argentina durante la Guerra Civil y el primer Franquismo: la labor de José Ignacio Ramos

2016

Resumen Desde su nombramiento como agregado de Prensa de la representacion oficiosa del Gobierno de Burgos en Argentina a principios de 1937, Jose Ignacio Ramos desarrollo una intensa actividad propagandistica en aquel pais que lo vinculo al mundo el libro, convirtiendolo en editor ocasional, tanto durante la Guerra Civil como en los primeros anos del franquismo. De acuerdo con las directrices de actuacion establecidas por el regimen, Ramos ignoro la actividad editorial de las empresas promovidas por exiliados republicanos y silencio la publicacion de sus obras. En defensa de los intereses gubernamentales participo asimismo en el debate sobre el problema de la venta de libros entre Espana y…
