Youth Political Talk in the Changing Media Environment : A Cross-National Typology

2021

While political communication scholarship has long underscored the importance of political talk—casual conversations about news and politics that occur in everyday situations—as a way for citizens to clarify their opinions and as a precursor for political engagement, much of this literature tends to depict political talk as uncomfortable and difficult for citizens. Yet, this focus on the challenging aspects of political talk has been informed predominantly by the US context. To what extent may a different picture emerge when looking across different cultural contexts? And how are these dynamics shaped by the affordances of the multi-platform social media environment? This paper explores th…

Arte, Música y Conceptualismo en América Latina

2021

Se investiga la relación entre el arte y la música desde el conceptualismo, que valida la existencia de un arte sonoro y de una música conceptuales, cuyas estéticas se alejan de la percepción coclear, para enfocarse en el campo de las ideas. Se sientan los antecedentes y se analiza el desarrollo de estos campos en occidente (Europa y Estados Unidos de América) desde las vanguardias del siglo XX hasta los años 60, para luego hacer una cartografía de la historia del conceptualismo sónico en Latino América desde los años 50 al presente, al redefinir, revalorar y contrastar las aportaciones que se han hecho en el continente, con un enfoque que se centra más en lo político y social, pero sin olv…

Social causes and consequences of clients’ satisfaction with hotels

2015

Con el objeto de evidenciar la dimensión social del proceso de satisfacción, proponemos un modelo causal donde la satisfacción y el valor son constructos centrales, con dos antecedentes (calidad de servicio y valor social) y dos consecuencias en forma de lealtad (boca-oreja electrónico y boca-oreja global). El modelo es contrastado entre 386 huéspedes de hoteles españoles confirmándose el peso que tienen en el proceso lealtad las variables de carácter social: valor social y boca-oreja. Se presentan importantes implicaciones para la gestión y futuros avances para la investigación académica. ABSTRACT In order to make evidence the social dimension of satisfaction process, we propose a causal m…

Trolling as a Digital Literary Practice in the Russian Language Internet

2020

This article explores trolling as a form of literary activity. It presents a number of specific types of trolling on the Russian-language Internet in connection with digital literature and the literary practices of various groups of Internet users. Techniques for writing provocative “troll-texts” were created and developed within subcultural groups in the 1990s. Later, from being a subversive practice known only to a few insiders, it became a mass technique described in meta-texts that identified rules for trolling and shared facts about its culture with all interested users. In the 2010s, the now popularised techniques of trolling came to be seen as effective strategies to deploy in online…

Potential benefits of increased ICT engagement include cost-effectiveness and improved access to resources and support. Potential limitations include poor assessment and information quality, limited practitioner support when needed, problems with distance intervention and social media, confidentiality of client records, inequality of access, inadequate competencies, and poor implementation. Specific practitioner roles are identified, and those related to social med…
