Kieślowski, the mysteries of screens and God

2019

The computer seems like a privileged personage in Decalogue 1 (Dekalog, jeden, 1987/88, prem. 1989, dir. K. Kieślowski): it is used by Paweł and his father to solve mathematical questions about Miss Piggy, to calculate the durability of the ice on the pond, to know what Mum is doing, and to control domestic devices. For Kieślowski the computer is not just a gadget: Krzysztof ’s lecture describes its potential and its possible autonomy. Independent from man (the computer switches itself on), it becomes his rival: Kieślowski proposes a critical interpretation of the computer as a new idol, promising unlimited memory and knowledge. A similar preoccupation can be found in the Black Mirror serie…

Economic development and the creative industries: a tale of causality

2014

Cultural and creative industries are thought to be a driver for economic growth. During the last decade, research has tried to link higher intensity of these industries with the region's welfare. However, this is a controversial relationship that still needs to be proved. In this article, we build a conceptual framework to help us test the possible causality between regional income generation and employment in the cultural and creative sectors. Using regional European data for 1999–2008, our results show that there is a significant feedback (bidirectional causality) between the per capita GDP and employment intensity in the cultural and creative industries, allowing us to conclude that ther…

Education for democratic citizenship in a digital culture

2011

Asumiendo la importancia de las nuevas tecnologías en las aulas, especialmente en las actuales sociedades de la información y la comunicación, y siguiendo las recomendaciones de la Unión Europea a favor de la alfabetización mediática, el presente trabajo reflexiona acerca de la necesidad de educar no solo en los usos técnicos y eficientes de las tecnologías comunicativas, sino también en el uso responsable y cívico de las mismas, favoreciendo así los procesos participativos y deliberativos que son el sustento de una democracia viva. El sueño griego de la «isegoría», del igual derecho de todos al uso de la palabra, puede hacerse realidad en la cultura digital, si bien es cierto que un uso hi…

Welcome to the candy shop! Conflicting representations of black masculinity

2014

AbstractMainstream hip hop videos have long been known for their images of scantily clad women, extreme materialism, and misogynist and homophobic lyrics. In this article I focus on how rapper 50 Cent's masculinity is constructed and expressed through music, lyrics and images in his video ‘Candy Shop’ from 2005. This is a classically modelled hip hop video, replete with markers of hypermasculinity: fancy cars, ‘bling’, and lots of beautiful, sexually available women. Several scholars have discussed how women are exploited in videos like this and reduced to props for the male star. However, few have explored how this macho masculinity is constructed. Through a close reading of this video, us…

Co-educar la mirada contra los estereotipos de género en TV

2008

TV serials analyzed in this paper show a representation of stereotyped gender. These cultural products, despite its apparent modernity, reproduce inequalities in the representation of the feminine and masculine through gender stereotypes which are sexist models for the construction of gender identity among its young viewers. Besides, a gender and co-education approach for an audiovisual alphabetization should be a good way against inequality. Se analizan en este trabajo un conjunto de series de televisión que plantean una representación estereotípica de los géneros. Pese a su aparente modernidad, múltiples productos culturales-televisivos siguen siendo portadores de discursos que reproducen…

La circulación manuscrita de los poemas alfabéticos de Francisco de Osuna: El caso del manuscrito «MSS/74» de la Biblioteca Nacional de España

2013

International audience; A raíz del redescubrimiento en la BNE del manuscrito MSS/74 —una copiosa antología de cartas y opúsculos místicos del siglo xvi—, se pudieron identificar dos de los tres «alfabetos» anónimos al amor de Dios que cierran dicho compendio: se trata en realidad de dos poemas alfabéticos de Francisco de Osuna. Constituyendo un ejemplo inédito de versiones manuscritas de los poemas del franciscano andaluz, estos alfabetos presentan variantes significativas respecto de las versiones impresas procedentes del Segundo y del Cuarto Abecedario espiritual. El cotejo de ambas versiones, y el análisis atento de dichas variantes, evidencian la realidad de una circulación oral y manus…

Borges y Escher: el laberinto Barroco y las paradojas de la percepción del neo-Barroco

2016

En los laberintos barrocos se consuma el placer perverso de la complejidad artificiosa, el gusto por una arquitectura virtual que metaforice las infinitas trayectorias de un universo inextricable. Uno de los signos tangibles de la crisis neobarocca que aparece en la poética de Borges se puede encontrar sin lugar a dudas en la presencia de las metáforas geométricas del laberinto. También Escher, a través de sus representaciones gráficas del inestable equilibrio que existe entre ilusión y desilusión, entre descifración y duda ontológica, entre figuras posibles e imposibles, termina por inscribirse plenamente en el ámbito de la crisis neobarroca.
