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 …

Extraordinarily White: The De/Spectacularization of the Albinotic Body and the Normalization of Its Audience

2018

This chapter discusses three cultural institutions–freak show, art photography and fashion modelling–and the respective figures they produced by presenting albinotic bodies. How are bodily deviance and norm negotiated in these cases of structured seeing? Spectacularizing the ‘albino freak’ as a categorical in-between phenomenon, the freak show drew a sharp distinction between the extraordinary figure on stage and its audience while bestowing the latter with normality. On the other hand, Rick Guidotti’s photographic activism invoking ‘positive exposure’ personalizes albinotic subjects and thus partly breaks down the differentiation between deviant other and normal spectator. Finally, in the …

Actividad de los músculos paravertebrales durante ejercicios que requieran estabilidad raquídea

2011

CONTEXTO: El entrenamiento aplicando elementos de inestabilidad está siendo ampliamente utilizado en el campo del entrenamiento como una herramienta novedosa y eficaz. No obstante, recientes hallazgos aportan datos contrarios a esta creencia y sugieren que la ejecución de ejercicios tradicionales sobre superficies inestables o ejercicios calisténicos específicos para el fortalecimiento estabilizador pueden no resultar estímulo suficiente para personas con un nivel de entrenamiento elevado llegando incluso a interferencia en el rendimiento final por la reducción de la capacidad de fuerza y la carencia de especificidad del entrenamiento. OBJETIVO: Cuantificar y comparar la actividad muscular …

Polarization and Spectacle in the Spanish Political Talk Show ‘La Sexta Noche’ During the 2019 European Elections

2021

This article analyses how in the main political talk show on television in Spain, La Sexta Noche, the main themes of the European agenda were silenced or conditioned by the themes of the national, regional and local agenda during the last European elec-tions. The media debate was oriented towards an analysis of the results of national elections and the campaign for regional and local elections that al-lowed for a greater spectacle, thanks to the shock effect of such polarized ideol-ogies and the trivialization of national politics. This research has studied all the shows of the programme broad-cast as of the national elections on 28th April 2019 up until the European elections held on 26th …

Framing Migrant Memories: Lampedusa's Fragmented Archives

2022

The small island of Lampedusa, a key destination of the Central Mediterranean Route connecting Africa to Italy, offers a special observatory on the contemporary trans-Mediterranean odyssey of migrants, although often transformed into a “border spectacle.” Upon landing, migrants are stripped of their belongings, as these are impounded by the authorities. Such an act of dispossession is intended to deprive them of their histories, family ties and cultural identity. Photographer Mario Badagliacca has portrayed a selection of these lost and retrieved items in his work Fragments (2013). Each object reveals expectations, fears, desires, endurance, but cannot tell a full story. They are fragments …

Entre la realidad y la ficción, la razón y la locura: el drama coral como terapia individual y social

2017

Desde la función política de la tragedia griega, las diferentes formas dramáticas occidentales han asumido de manera más o menos explícita unas funciones del espectáculo dramático que integran bajo distintas acepciones la pretendida kátharsis aristotélica, en ocasiones para rechazarla y evitarla, que incluso van más allá del prodesse et delectare horaciano, tendiendo hacia una función terapéutica individual y social en unas formas dramáticas de elevado trasfondo coral en las que los límites entre realidad y ficción, entre cordura y locura se difuminan hasta llegar a confundirse, en las que la llamada “cuarta pared” deja de existir. El objeto de este trabajo es realizar un breve recorrido po…

Politics of Dark Tourism: The Case of Cromañón and ESMA, Buenos Aires, Argentina

2018

Tourism has been recently catalogued as a key global industry (Shaw et al. 1990; Buckley and Witt, 1990; Lee and Chang, 2008). The influx of visitors not only potentially revitalises cultural resources but also generates economic resources of specific destinations. Recently, even spaces of mass-death or disasters such as Ground Zero in New York (9/11 terrorist attack), the Tsunami on Sri Lanka, or Katrina Hurricane hitting New Orleans, USA, can be ‘recycled’ by adopting tourism policies that take death as a main attraction (Klein, 2007). Although this type of tourism has attracted criticism of post-Marxist sociologists, as the sign of sadist spectacle (Bloom 2000; Baudrillard 1996, 2006; Ko…

The implication of subcortical motor centers in voluntary human activities

2009

The main objective of the present dissertation was to analyse the subcortical implications in the preparation and execution of complex voluntary movements. Three different tasks were selected on purpose. They all are everyday activities which although functionally related have differential characteristics. The first task was the sit-to-stand manoeuvre. Simple ballistic movements are executed faster in reaction time task paradigms when the imperative signal is accompanied by a startling auditory stimulus (SAS). We examined whether this effect also occurs in complex movements such as the sit-to-stand manoeuvre, taking into account both anticipatory postural adjustments and prime movers. React…

Valoración de las capacidades físicas y cognitivas en corredores de orientación de la categoría hombres-élite.

2004

El deporte de orientación consiste en realizar un recorrido en el menor tiempo posible y con la única ayuda de un mapa y una brújula, teniendo la particularidad de que cada corredor puede elegir la ruta de desplazamiento de un control a otro. Esto propicia que nos encontremos ante un deporte en el que los aspectos perceptivo-cognitivos van a ser fundamentales.El objetivo de este estudio fue caracterizar a la población española de la categoría hombres-élite, que es la máxima categoría a nivel nacional, con el fin de poder crear pautas de entrenamiento adecuadas.Para ello, realizamos una comparativa entre los corredores de élite (total: 23 corredores) y los participantes del resto de categorí…
