Eduardo Sojo: The architect of the satirical journalism in Spain and Argentina
2016
El artículo analiza la extensa obra de Eduardo Sojo a través de las publicaciones satíricas que fundó en España y en Argentina durante las últimas décadas siglo XIX. A partir de la indagación de algunas de sus caricaturas políticas se reconstruye su posicionamiento político en los diferentes contextos en los que desarrolló su obra y el impacto que suscitó en la opinión pública su discurso en favor de los valores republicanos y su reiterado repudio hacia el clero, en ambos países. This article analyzes Eduardo Sojós extensive work through the satirical publications, which he founded in Spain and Argentina during the last decades of 19 th century. By looking into some of his political cartoon…

Cartoon filter via adaptive abstraction
2016
We propose a non-parametric methodology to realize abstraction images.The redundant wavelet "a trous" algorithm is applied for details detection.An multi-scale circular median filter is used as a smoothing filter.The proposed algorithm is simple and fast on low-cost entry-level hardware. Abstraction in computer graphics defines a procedure that discriminates the essential information that is worth keeping. Usually details, that correspond to higher frequency components, allow to distinguish otherwise similar images. Vice versa, low frequencies are related to the main information, which are larger structures. Contours themselves may also be identified by high frequencies and separate each pi…
MIND, BRAIN AND MEDIA EDUCATION. A Research Project on Cartoons with Teachers and University Students
2017
The paper proposes a reflection on the educational dimension of cartoons from the double point of view of Media Education and Neuroeducation. Cartoons are either a means to highlight the educational potential of the fictional fruition practice and an activator memory, attention, emotion and perception which are at the basis of cognition and learning. This contribution describes an education research carried out in the A.Y. 2015/2016 with 12 in-service teachers and 198 university students attending the course of Primary Education Sciences at the University of Palermo. They both experienced a media education training methodology mediated by the use of cartoons
Cartoons di qualità nella prima infanzia. I bambini e la media education
2014
I bambini, già dall’infanzia, amano e utilizzano i media. È utile, quindi, educarli ad un uso corretto dei prodotti mediali al fine di insegnare loro a comprenderne il linguaggio e valutarne i contenuti in maniera autonoma e responsabile. I media, pur avendo una loro maggiore o minore predisposizione a determinate valenze educative, sono degli strumenti, delle opportunità, la cui significatività e la cui pregnanza educativa dipende, in larga misura, dal modo in cui essi vengono usati. La scuola è chiamata ad assolvere l’importante compito di promuovere negli alunni le competenze necessarie per divenire fruitori ed interlocutori attivi dei media: entra qui in gioco la media education. Promuo…
Didáctica (lengua y literatura)
2012
El estudio de los dibujos animados parece cada vez más importante para determinar la construcción de la competencia literaria de niños y jóvenes. En el caso que nos ocupa vemos como la saga de las películas de Shrek contiene una gran cantidad de alusiones literarias, tanto relacionadas con las fuentes folklóricas, como con otras fuentes más actuales. La combinación de las referencias, junto con el juego de tipo literario que se ofrece, sobre todo a través de la intertextualidad, convierte a Shrek en una obra de obligada referencia. L'analyse de la bande dessinée semble être de plus en plus importante dans la détermination de la construction de la compétence littéraire des enfants et des jeu…
Representation of physical activity domains and sedentary behaviors across categories of gender and disability in children’s TV cartoons
2018
Television (TV) cartoons could reflect and shape social values about children’s health-related behaviors. The main aim of this study is to analyze the portrayal of physical activity (PA) domains in the most popular Spanish children’s television (TV) cartoons. It is performed a content analysis of each scene following a coding scheme. The sample selected included the five most popular children’s TV cartoons for the 2013-2014 period in Spain. Our results show a large gap between the modest representation of different PA domains compared to the overwhelming depiction of sedentary behaviors. We do not find evidence of males and females participating equally in a variety of PA domains, and we fa…
On the Origin of Metaphors
2015
In this article I study the genesis of metaphors from an evolutionary perspective. Analyzing 414 cartoons published after the death of the cartoonists of the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, I propose a metaphoric founder effect with the metaphors “PENCIL IS A WEAPON,” “PENCIL IS A CARTOONIST,” and “PENCIL IS FREEDOM,” and a subsequent metaphor drift that creates many related metaphors. Additionally, the success of these metaphors turns the pencil meme into a very efficient and fast-spreading item representing not only the work of cartoonists, but also the fundamental values of Western culture, such as freedom of expression.
Assessment of Three-and-a-Half-Year-Old Children's Emerging Phonological Awareness in a Computer Animation Context
2003
Four computer-animated tasks were created to analyze the underlying structure of emerging phonological awareness at 3.5 years of age and to explore the factors that influence children's ( N = 91) performance on the tasks. Our findings indicated that already at this young age, children are able to master tasks demanding identification, blending, and continuation of phonological units when the tasks are presented in a motivating assessment context. In line with earlier research, children showed higher mastery in dealing with words and syllables than in dealing with phonemes. Targets in the initial position of a word were easier for children to identify than those in the final position. Our an…
Le storie “ben formate” per bambini: il modello di Stein e Glenn al video
2016
La narrazione contribuisce fin dall’infanzia alla costruzione della identità personale e culturale della persona. La fruizione della narrativa chiama infatti in causa non solo le conoscenze di base del bambino (relative al linguaggio, al mondo, alle azioni umane) ma anche alle concezioni del mondo e del sé che possiede. Gli studi sui bambini di età prescolare hanno ampiamente sottolineato come la narrazione costituisca una strada privilegiata affinché il bambino possa entrare precocemente in contatto con la lingua scritta e ricavarne insieme piacere e competenza (Catarsi, 2001, p. 48). La narrazione è una delle esperienze che ha un ruolo rilevante nell’espressione dell’immaginazione e dei v…
