La metodologia utilizada para evaluar el grado de competencia mediatica de los jovenes de Ecuador y Colombia es la practica de una aproximacion exploratoria de corte descriptivo. Entre los hallazgos se evidencia la utilizacion de navegacion a internet para habilidades mas tecnicas y operativas que valorativas al nivel de la competencia mediatica. Se detecta la necesidad de establecer procesos de alfabetizacion mediatica sistemicos y continuos. El analisis de estos datos podria ser considerado como base para el establecimiento de politicas publicas en educacion mediatica.

Media Competences of Young University Students from Ecuador and ColombiaThe present study shows results from two Latin American countries: Ecuador and Colombia. The general objective is to find out how young people get by in the face of digital technology and levels of media competence. The specific objectives are to define the reference indicators to measure the degree of media competence of university students, and to evaluate, in an exploratory way, the levels and the degree of media competence in selected samples from the two countries. The methodology used to evaluate the degree of media competence of young people in Ecuador and Colombia is to carry out an exploratory approach of a descriptive nature. Among the findings it is worth noting the use of Internet browsing for more technical and operational skills than valuations at the level of media competence. The need to establish systematic and continuous media literacy processes is identified. The analysis of these data could be considered a basis for the establishment of public policies in media education. This issue in these countries is emerging and it is exhausted in general lines as proposed in public documents, concerning the education plans and particular initiatives that are currently fragmented.

The resulting 123 articles were coded for “prominence” and “direction” (favorable/unfavorable/balanced-neutral coverage), then combined into each newspaper’s composite “Media Vector” (range= 0.3850 to -0.6433, or 1.033). Fifteen of 18 newspapers (83%) displayed negative coverage of federal COVID-19 responses. Pearson correlations and regression analysis confirmed a robust “violated buffer” pattern (higher proportions of economically/socially “buffered” privileged groups are associated with negative coverage of “biological threats or threats to a cherished way of life”: Pollock, 2007: 101), manifest in political and religious polarization and links between health access or generational privilege and negative coverage of federal COVID-19 actions. Higher proportions voting Democratic or Catholic membership in cities were associated strongly with negative coverage of federal efforts, while voting Republican and Evangelical membership accompanied positive federal coverage, evoking nationwide partisan “tribalism”. Privileged healthcare access (physicians/100,000, municipal healthcare spending) and economically “privileged” age groups 45-64 and 65+ were all connected to negative coverage of federal COVID-19 responses, illuminating overall “violated” expectations that the national government is responsible for nationwide disaster protection.

This is a qualitative study that explores emerging metaphorical language that is being implemented to communicate salient aspects of the unprecedented phenomenon that is COVID-19 in a partial way. It is important to point out that the analysis is made at the same time that the crisis is unfolding. In order to develop this perspective, we will rely on a previous framework developed to study communication of crisis.

La union de estos dos recursos origina el fenomeno del flashback metaleptico, cuya particular naturaleza pone de relieve, en tres escenas cruciales del relato, la influencia de los conflictos del presente en la reconstruccion del pasado: si bien en las dos primeras las cualidades metalepticas de las regresiones adoptan un sesgo excluyente en lo relativo a la clase de inscripcion del sujeto recordatorio dentro de las mismas, sera en la ultima remembranza cuando, una vez el personaje protagonista ha resuelto la crisis existencial que padecia, el sesgo se torna definitivamente inclusivo, indicio de la reconciliacion efectuada con respecto a sus experiencias preteritas. The Embodied Spectre: Semantic Implications of the Metaleptic Flashback in ‘Wild Strawberries’ (‘Smultronstallet’, 1957) This paper aims to carry out a new reading of the film Wild Strawberries (Smultronstallet; Ingmar Bergman, 1957) through a narratological exploration of two fundamental techniques used in the body of the work: the flashback and metalepsis. The joined use of these two techniques creates the phenomenon of metaleptic flashback, which, through its particular nature, sheds light on the influence of present conflicts on the reconstruction of the past in three crucial scenes within the story. While the metaleptic properties of the regressions in the first two cases take an exclusive focus with regard to the kind of involvement of the reminiscing individual within those scenes, in the last scene of remembrance, once the main character has resolved the existential crisis that he has been experiencing, the perspective becomes de finitively inclusive, a sign of his having reached a reconciliation with his past experiences.","PeriodicalId":44263,"journal":{"name":"Tripodos","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2021-02-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47342012","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Political communication studies have long indicated that elections are becoming personalized, with more focus on party leaders or individual candidates. But studies on communication by political parties to understand the identity of parties and their potential in communication with voters remain relevant. The aim of the paper is to analyse the visual election materials of the political parties from Latvia on the social network Facebook during the 2019 European Parliament (EP) election campaign. The research period is two weeks before elections. The subject of the study is election materials on Facebook accounts of the parties representing the national parliament of Latvia. A codebook for analysis has been developed, containing common and specific variables, designed to explore the verbal and visual dimensions. The results of the study allow us to draw conclusions about the changing success of new populist and traditional parties, as well as to look at the role of Facebook in elections in a little-studied country.","PeriodicalId":44263,"journal":{"name":"Tripodos","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2020-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42453342","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The fragmentation of inconclusive narrative discourse and staged situations with a clear intent to clash all make it necessary to analyse in detail the role given by the audiovisual media to the European process of democratisation. This study addresses the audiovisual discourse in Spanish public television (TVE) with the intention of discovering how the different topics addressed in debates are dealt with in audiovisual production, and whether those topics have benefited from certain decisions by the production team that are subjective a priori. Using external codifiers, the intensity of each question has been checked and the result has been correlated with the dependent variables “[camera] shot with question while listening” and “shot with question with split screen”. The variables have been subjected to descriptive analyses, correlation with hypotheses, and bivariate analyses using Pearson’s correlation (Rx-y). The results indicate a clear difference in the modes of television representation between national Spanish and European debates. It is discussed whether this audiovisual differentiation may condition the perception that the audience may have of European politics.","PeriodicalId":44263,"journal":{"name":"Tripodos","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2020-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49497062","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Bearing this in mind, the objective of this research is to know the thematic agenda set by these transnational candidates on Twitter, trying to find differences with the issues raised by the traditional national leaders. To this end, the technique of quantitative content analysis is used, referring to the issues addressed on Twitter by the six candidates to chair the Commission, as well as the thematic agenda expressed by a selection of the national candidates. The sample includes politicians from the four most populated countries of the Union: Germany, France, Italy and Spain. The results show a more thematically concentrated agenda in the Spitzenkandidaten than in national candidates.
