En 2024, México enfrenta un desafiante proceso electoral marcado por la propagación de información no verificada, la desconfianza hacia el periodismo crítico y nuevas formas de comunicación entre actores políticos y votantes. ¿Representan estos desafíos fenómenos novedosos o son formas modernizadas de propaganda política? Este análisis se fundamenta en la investigación sobre el impacto del entorno digital en elecciones previas, tanto en México como a nivel mundial. Cuatro áreas emergen como posibles factores de influencia: 1) el debilitamiento del periodismo, 2) la desconfianza en los medios tradicionales, 3) la transformación en la comunicación política y 4) el incremento de la desinformación. La pregunta crucial es si estos elementos alterarán de manera radical el proceso electoral o si forman parte de una evolución política natural.

McLuhan llamó aldea global a la interconexión planetaria cara a cara, ubicua y a distancia. Cloutier la llamó l’ère d’Emerec. Se examinan las obras de ambos autores para comprobar si las nociones de consumidor y prosumidor se corresponden con los respectivos modelos. La revisión utiliza relevantes citas de McLuhan a Ortega Gasset para el cotejo que nunca han sido comentadas. El modelo de Cloutier es una especificación de aldea global. Dejando aparte cuestiones de estilo y construcción, la principal discrepancia es la acotación temática del objeto estudiado. Cotejada la literatura que contrapone estos modelos con los resultados obtenidos precisamos sus diferencias doctrinales. La aldea global se centra en la prolongación de los sentidos por los medios de la técnica. Cloutier, que declara expresamente su dependencia de McLuhan, se atiene solo a los “medios de comunicación” como especie del género “medios técnicos”.

We aim to discuss, critically, communicational practices that cross political debates in Brazil. We intend to map the actions of reactionary groups on digital media, where they have gained hegemony trough a "metapolitical" strategy, to then investigate emerging experiences in the field of Marxist left. We will also analyze how traditional media views the work communist communicators through depoliticized speeches and problematize cultural challenges posed to a newly articulated progressist group vying for territories on the Internet.

Los regímenes de verdad que estuvieron vigentes, aunque siempre contestados, durante el siglo XX, están siendo aceleradamente socavados por diferentes factores: la creciente influencia de intereses corporativos en algunas ramas de la ciencia; la reconfiguración del ámbito de lo público por las redes digitales, igualmente gobernadas por lógicas oligopólicas de lucro; y el aprovechamiento de la pérdida de referentes compartidos por grupos de interés políticos, sobre todo las extremas derechas. La pandemia ha acelerado este proceso, que amenaza las posibilidades de construir salidas democráticas a la crisis múltiple y civilizatoria que están viviendo las sociedades humanas

The aim of this article is to investigate the nature of information sharing in social media about missing persons by using social media data (mostly Twitter) and conventional media coverage (media archives), adopting a platial perspective to this geographical information. By focusing on the cases of three people gone missing, we report on ways in which civil society establishes relational networks through social media to collectively support local searches and share information in rural Sweden. Geographical information systems and visualization techniques underlie the methodology of this study. Findings show that the geography of information sharing in social media about a missing person is not random, revealing a globally dispersed pattern across the country. Information sharing contains more emotional than informational content, hitting a peak of spread after a person is found deceased. This finding indicates that the value of information shared by social media as a problem-solving resource might have so far been overestimated in the process of finding missing persons. In addition, tweets show indications that voluntary organizations constitute a valuable resource in rural contexts but not without impact on the existing networks of stakeholders delivering emergency services.

The general subject of this analysis is the presence of myths on social media, a heritage of the previous century's mass culture, and in particular, for social movements. Social movements within networked communication are particularly endowed with mythologies, which draw on mass culture and on societies' archetypal and psychological backgrounds. This fact justifies the hypothesis that the most effective and popular social movements resort to deeper mythological forms. The specific objective is to describe concrete myths in the language of digital social movements and to review the aspects of mythology in the scholarly literature on mythology from four fields. After tracing contents and impact, a qualitative analysis, focused on two examples justified by their digital origin, is performed: the "Anonymous" movement and "Je Suis Charlie" social mobilisation. Results show the persistence of two mythological motives: the profound hero's monomyth, playing an essential identifying role, channelled through social networks, with hashtags as slogans, and the related myth of the shadow, the dark, "Anonymous" and hybrid identity. Connections and analogies with other recent examples are discussed such as the "Me Too" and "Black Lives Matter" cases. The conclusion is the clear connection between these two myths and the communicative strength of social movements transmitted through social networks. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Las Tecnologías de la Información y la Comunicación han permitido el establecimiento de espacios virtuales que modifican el modo de interacción social. En este trabajo se analiza la percepción de los futuros docentes del grado de Educación Infantil sobre el uso de redes digitales para fomentar la interculturalidad académica. Se ha utilizado una metodología cuantitativa, basada en la aplicación de un cuestionario construido ad hoc. Entre los resultados se resalta principalmente el uso social que los estudiantes hacen de las redes digitales por encima del académico para la comunicación y colaboración entre iguales. Finalmente se constata que el uso de las redes digitales en la actividad docente favorece la interculturalidad.

Esta investigación estudia el activismo político de los colectivos de ciclistas Carishina en bici y Cleta endiablada mediante el análisis de sus páginas de Facebook. Comprende a las interacciones digitales como procesos de comunicación en el ciberespacio. Mediante este trabajo explicamos ¿cómo se generan los procesos de acción colectiva dentro de las redes sociales digitales que utilizan las organizaciones de ciclistas en Quito? y ¿cómo se configura la comunicación y el activismo político dentro de las redes sociales digitales? Además, sostenemos que la acción colectiva es una forma de interacción y comunicación. Las páginas de Facebook se convierten en espacios digitales donde los ciclistas urbanos comunican al sistema social las acciones de su inconformidad, desacuerdos y disputas políticas. Por medio de tres técnicas de índole cualitativa, observación participante, aplicación de cuestionarios de entrevistas y realización de un grupo focal, y una técnica cuantitativa, análisis de contenido, nos aproximaremos a los colectivos ciclistas en estudio. Se concluye que la acción colectiva es un espacio para el activismo político.

This paper introduces a medium-specific research perspective as fundamental basis for Social Sciences and Communication fieldwork. It points to the importance of combining knowledge on platform grammatisation with data research practices (capture, mining, analysis and visualization) to study digital networks. That is what we refer to as call into the platform; an effort to account for the technical fieldwork and digital methods in an interdependent position to research. In this conception, and through the case of Portuguese Universities on Facebook, we interrogate how digital networks contribute to the research contexts of communication and social sciences studies. To respond to this question, two distinctive digital networks were explored, shedding light in the institutional connections and the visual culture of the higher education in Portugal. The first comprises all connections made by a given Page - the act of liking other pages or being liked in return (Page like network). The second is built upon the affordances of computer vision APIs - the connections between images and their descriptive labels (Page timeline image-label network). Beyond providing new ways to design and implement research that can be repurposed for different studies, the main contribution of this study lies in embracing the methods of the medium as key component for digital social sciences.

El tema central de este libro es el papel de las redes y las tecnologías de la información y la comunicación en las rebeliones y movimientos juveniles #Yo Soy 132 y “Nos Faltan 43” en México, Occupy Wall Street en Nueva York, el movimiento 15-M surgido en Madrid y #DirengenziPark en Istambul, entre otros. En esta reseña se resaltan los aportes de este estudio a tres campos: al campo académico de las ciencias sociales y humanidades; al campo de lo político y la política –y en especial al activismo–, así como a los ciudadanos de México y del mundo que desean encaminar sus esfuerzos para que otro orden sea posible.

We discuss in the article the articulation between politics and pop culture through an editorial, and of the senses triggered by it in a context of digital networks. Published by fansite Potterish: He-Who-Cannot-Be-Voted, drawing parallels between the candidacy of Jair Bolsonaro and the character Lord Voldemort, positions Harry Potter fans against the politician, mobilizing them discursively to participate in demonstrations that took place against the then-candidate. We perceive, using the analysis of sense-building in digital networks, that action triggers, within a specific context of what is understood as pop culture journalism, disputes that refer to the civic imagination, to fan activism and to eternal fascism that is embodied in digital culture.

El artículo analiza cómo se construye e interpreta el mito del amor romántico en los relatos audiovisuales de ficción a partir de la relación de pareja de Isabel (Adriana Torrebejano) y Cristina (Berta Hernández) en la serie televisiva Tierra de lobos (Telecinco: 2010-14). La investigación se realiza en una doble dimensión: la representación narrativa en la serie y la respuesta en foros de internet. Metodológicamente hemos realizado una investigación de corte cualitativo en la que, desde una perspectiva crítica feminista, utilizamos dos métodos de investigación: el análisis crítico del discurso o análisis textual y el estudio de recepción. Como resultado, reconocemos la influencia que los medios tienen en la conformación de los imaginarios personales y colectivos sobre los modelos de atracción en las relaciones lésbicas, así como la preponderancia del modelo tradicional de atracción frente a modelos alternativos más igualitarios.

Resumo O presente artigo tem como objetivo explorar as potencialidades do método da cartografia de Deleuze e Guattari no âmbito das redes digitais, levando em conta o advento das mídias locativas e das tecnologias de geolocalização que fazem surgir os espaços híbridos, nos quais a experiência de se movimentar no espaço geográfico coincide com o movimento pelo ciberespaço. O artigo discute as possibilidades de associação da cartografia com outras estratégias metodológicas, como a flânerie e os diários de bordo, com o intuito de fazer frente à complexidade dos processos de subjetivação que são atravessados hoje pelo acoplamento cada vez mais íntimo com as tecnologias digitais. Exploramos, enfim, estratégias que podem ser pensadas para fugir às estrias de um espaço digital cada vez mais dominado pelo controle e pela vigilância, evidenciando como a atitude cartográfica pode nos auxiliar a desfazer os mapas, em direção a processos de criação e singularização.

Este artículo propone la subsunción del concepto de ciberactivismo —que se reduce al uso estratégico de las tecnologías digitales para movilizaciones políticas— en el de biopolítica digital, entendida como producción incesante de lo común en y por las redes. Para operar ese desplazamiento conceptual, se dialoga con las principales concepciones de ciberactivismo y se defiende que, si bien esas visiones ayudan a comprender cómo las redes facilitaron la emergencia de una cultura general de la movilización, no problematizan las posibilidades de captura de las propias movilizaciones en red, ni la existencia de un activismo digital de carácter reproductor/conservador. Se plantea entonces la idea de una biopolítica digital para pensar las manifestaciones —provocadas por acontecimientos— como posibilidades que emergen de un proceso inmanente de producción de lo común en las redes. Para sustentar esta idea, se analizan las estrategias de dos movimientos sociales brasileños.

El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo exponer los principales resultados generados a partir del proyecto ¨Participación y relaciones sociales desde los líderes de opinión online de Twitter en Colombia, Venezuela e Irán¨, como parte de la línea de investigación de los autores. La hipótesis inicial de este trabajo es que el auge de las redes sociales virtuales está contribuyendo al fortalecimiento del modelo de flujo de comunicación de Klaus Jensen , y la formación de nuevos líderes de opinión. En este artículo, además de confirmarse el modelo de flujo de comunicación propuesto por Jensen, podemos ver cómo la formación de nuevos líderes de opinión online parece estar condicionada por aspectos ajenos a los avances de las Tecnologías de la Información y la Comunicación (TIC).

This paper analyses the ways in which the myths of "romantic love" and "the better half" are reproduced in media fiction and examines how audiences read them. We focus on the relationship between Isabel (Adriana Torrebejano) and Cristina (Berta Hernández) -- characters of the TV series Tierra de lobos (Telecinco: 2010-14)-- and develop two research lines: the narrative structure of the series and viewers' response in different Internet forums. We conclude, firstly, that media discourse influences and shapes individual and social imaginaries regarding attraction models in lesbian relationships and, secondly, that the traditional attraction model prevails in the face of more egalitarian alternative models.

This article addresses the flows that criss-cross virtual space: flows of information, images and communication. These are cultural flows, or, to use the terminology of Schütz and Luckmann, intersubjective meaning-contexts consisting of values, social rules, world views and patterns of behaviour that are becoming increasingly dissociated from their national base thanks to digital media. They are articulated, passed on, qualified, rejected or transformed into something else in online discourse. The idea of culture as a ‘self-contained sphere’ has become obsolete in an age of digital media. Terms such as transculturality and transnationality reflect socio-cultural developments that are closely linked with the evolution of digital media. This article commences with a theoretical overview of how the social is formed under the influence of cultural flows, asking whether transcultural tendencies are emerging in new virtual publics and how such tendencies can be identified. Empirical findings drawn from a larger project on ‘Subject constructions and digital culture’ show how differences are dealt with according to the divergent tendencies of homogenization, particularization and hybridization.

Technological discourse constitutes a crucial resource in the process of future making and construction of new technologies. Narratives of such a discourse are characterized by projection of hopes and horrors through binary frameworks that enforce technological determinism. Sources and actors of technological discourse are multiple (the mass media, professional communities, institutions, enterprises). The article aims to identify different conceptions of technology as well as different durations of future traceable in technological discourse. On the one hand, technology appears as an autonomous, atemporal force; on the other hand, it appears split between a short and a long time frame. Whereas the short-term future is shaped by the culture of capitalism with its fast-paced consumption focused on obsolescence and presentification, the long-term future is more influenced by the binary frames recurrent in both popular media and science fiction. This long future horizon in technological discourse is concerned with the expectation of a radical revolution. It fosters scenarios where anger and desire, horror and hope coexist and compete with each other. The article proposes obsolescence, presentification and revolution as three concurrent modes of production of the sociotechnical discourse on the future. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

During the 1990s, it was widely predicted that hypertext would have a great future within the discursive field of the human and cultural sciences, mainly due to the new conditions and possibilities for the production and reception of stories (theoretical), but hypertext has not been well received among current historians. Is the myth and the dream machine represented by hypertext something we can easily set aside? Or are its potentialities, which underlie experience and motivate us to re-launch experiments in fact visible? Reconsideration of hypertext. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Internet y las nuevas tecnologías de la comunicación son una plataforma excelente para difundir los eventos tradicionales, convirtiéndose en un instrumento fundamental en un mundo globalizado, donde las ciudades son en realidad productos cuya identidad y valores han de ser diseñados y comercializados. Los eventos tradicionales, son parte del patrimonio del territorio que unido al cambio producido en el estilo de vida de las sociedades occidentales, lo convierten en un fuerte atractivo para el nuevo concepto de turista, más responsable, mejor informado, que demanda lo particular, lo sorpresivo, lo experiencial y distinto que ofrece cada lugar. Nos encontramos ante patrimonio cultural inmaterial, elementos intangibles pero que diferencian, personalizan y dan identidad a los territorios. El evento tradicional, es en muchas ocasiones la carta de presentación y valor reputacional de las poblaciones, debiendo darlo a conocer a los futuros visitantes interesados en la peculiaridad, cultura e historia del territorio. Así, la web se presenta como una herramienta para acceder al público global que pueda sentirse atraído por este tipo de eventos y sirve a la vez para proyectar el lugar donde se realizan. En este caso, el portal web Festapedia surge para recoger todos los contenidos relativos a las Fiestas de la ciudad de Castellón, impulsando y poniendo en valor dicha población. Así, desde la perspectiva local, se presenta un modelo de documentación de la memoria que tiene una aplicación universal, y que ayudará a mejorar la proyección de la ciudad, diferenciándola de otros lugares y haciendo que consiga visibilidad y notoriedad.

The research «Cinema, Diversity and Networks» tries to isolate the principal stimuli or reticences in the consumption of products generated by small cinematographies, analyzing the particular case of the diffusion through the digital interactive networks of cinematographic contents produced in Galicia. It is a multicentral investigation with the collaboration of the universities of Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay -- the countries with a significant migratory Galician presence--, with special focus on the university groups of reception for their special predisposition to the media intercultural consumption. Our work addresses a statistical determination of the social-demographic and axiologic profile as well as the habits of consumption of the participant groups as an introduction to the confrontation with some representative films produced in Galicia between 2003 and 2008 in order to establish the influence of certain thematic, formal and linguistic variables in the acceptance or objection to certain messages. The study can be identified with the models of basic and applied investigation: basic, for its analysis of the cultural determinant indicators of the cinematographic consumption in communities, which although geographically dispersed preserve their identity elements such as the language; and applied, as our investigation provides a transfer of knowledge to their technological partners in addition to the opening of unexplored niches of transnational consumption through the potential that the digital networks offer nowadays.

The advancement of applied technology to industrial processes has enabled the management of large amounts of information through different types of networks. Digital networks allow the quick management of information in different industry fields to monitor, supervise and control parameters and variables. This technological evolution has provided hardware and software tools necessary to centralize the data obtained by different collectors, sensors used in industry such as temperature, pressure, level, movement, pH, light intensity, distance, acceleration, tilt, force, torque, humidity, displacement, and others. This information is sent via a fieldbus to a control room where engineers and operators are responsible for monitoring and making decisions regarding the process. These responses may be automatic, if they are programmed into the system or manually depending on the degree of automation. This greatly simplifies installation, operation of machinery and equipment used in production processes to avoid wasting all kinds of resources and thereby making these more efficient and profitable.
