Papel y sostenibilidad de la ayuda exterior en el desarrollo de la alfabetización mediática e informacional en Asia Central: El caso de Kazajstán, Kirguistán y Uzbekistán

Este artículo explora el papel, la sostenibilidad y las formas de ayuda exterior en el campo de la alfabetización mediática e informacional (AMI) en los países de Asia Central. AMI desempeña un papel crucial en el desarrollo de habilidades digitales y alfabetización mediática en una era dominada por la sobrecarga de información y la desinformación. Sin embargo, los países de Asia Central enfrentan desafíos únicos en el desarrollo e implementación de programas AMI, incluidos recursos limitados, presiones políticas y contextos culturales diversos. La ayuda exterior se ha convertido en una importante fuente de apoyo a las iniciativas MIL en la región. Este artículo analiza el papel de la ayuda exterior en la promoción de MIL, examina diferentes formas de ayuda y evalúa la sostenibilidad de estos programas. Al investigar la sostenibilidad de estas iniciativas, el estudio profundiza en el impacto de la asistencia extranjera en la configuración de marcos AMI sólidos dentro de los contextos socioculturales únicos de los tres países de Asia Central: Kazajstán, Kirguistán y Uzbekistán. Al analizar programas de ayuda específicos, implicaciones políticas y respuestas locales, el artículo pretende aportar ideas valiosas al discurso actual sobre la mejora de la alfabetización mediática en sociedades en transición. También considera el impacto potencial y los desafíos asociados con la ayuda exterior en los países de Asia Central, destacando la importancia de enfoques específicos del contexto para el desarrollo de AMI.This article explores the role, sustainability, and forms of foreign aid in the field of media and information literacy (MIL) in Central Asian countries. MIL plays a crucial role in developing digital skills and media literacy in an era dominated by information overload and disinformation. However, Central Asian countries face unique challenges in developing and implementing MIL programs, including limited resources, political pressures, and diverse cultural contexts. Foreign aid has become an important source of support for MIL initiatives in the region. This article analyzes the role of foreign aid in promoting MIL examines different forms of aid and assesses the sustainability of these programs. Investigating the sustainability of these initiatives, the study delves into the impact of foreign assistance on shaping robust MIL frameworks within the unique socio-cultural contexts of the three Central Asian countries: Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Uzbekistan. By analyzing specific aid programs, policy implications, and local responses, the article aims to contribute valuable insights into the ongoing discourse on enhancing media literacy in transitional societies. It also considers the potential impact and challenges associated with foreign aid in Central Asian countries, highlighting the importance of context-specific approaches to MIL development

Los Efectos De Las Interacciones En Comunidades Virtuales En Las Redes Sociales En La Conformación Y Reproducción De La Memoria Cultural, La Identidad Del Barrio Y La Cultura

This study aims to reveal the effect of virtual communities in social media on the reproduction of cultural memory, neighborhood identity, and culture. Another aim of the study is to investigate the potential of virtual communities to shape cultural memory, continuity, and social structure and to discuss the impact of individuals who can actively produce and share content in virtual communities on neighborhood identity and neighborhood culture. For this purpose, three research questions were put forward. RQ1: “How does interaction occur in social media, different from communities in the physical environment?” RQ2: “How are cultural memory, neighborhood culture, and identity rebuilt and shaped in the context of communication and interaction that emerges in social media virtual communities?” RQ3: “In virtual communities in social media, what is the potential of subcultures to influence or contribute to communities on a macro scale with the resulting interaction?” The theoretical approach of the research consists of Mead (2019), the representative of symbolic interactionism, and Goffman's (1978) self-society relationship with the presentation of the Self. In addition, cultural memory, neighborhood identity and culture, and the concept of the virtual community were mentioned, and the coding made for the research was directed in this direction. As a sample for the study, comments were obtained on the Tatavla'dan Kurtuluş’a virtual community on Facebook between 30 May and 30 December 2022 (n:1134), and these comments were analyzed by Van Dijk's discourse analysis method. According to the findings, the communities formed by the coming together of the selves in the micro context ensure the continuity of the neighborhood identity and culture that has been eroded in the virtual environment. However, the impact of these communities on face-to-face relations and institutions remains limited.Este estudio tiene como objetivo revelar el efecto de las comunidades virtuales en las redes sociales en la reproducción de la memoria cultural, la identidad del barrio y la cultura. Otro objetivo del estudio es investigar el potencial de las comunidades virtuales para dar forma a la memoria cultural, la continuidad y la estructura social y discutir el impacto de las personas que pueden producir y compartir activamente contenido en comunidades virtuales sobre la identidad y la cultura del vecindario. Para ello, se plantearon tres preguntas de investigación. RQ1: “¿Cómo ocurre la interacción en las redes sociales, a diferencia de las comunidades en el entorno físico?” RQ2: “¿Cómo se reconstruyen y moldean la memoria cultural, la cultura del barrio y la identidad en el contexto de comunicación e interacción que emerge en las comunidades virtuales de las redes sociales?” RQ3: “En las comunidades virtuales en las redes sociales, ¿cuál es el potencial de las subculturas para influir o contribuir a las comunidades a escala macro con la interacción resultante?” El abordaje teórico de la investigación consta de Mead (2019), representante del interaccionismo simbólico, y la relación de la autosociedad de Goffman (1978) con la presentación del Self. Además, se mencionaron la memoria cultural, la identidad y cultura barrial, y el concepto de comunidad virtual, y en esa dirección se encaminó la codificación realizada para la investigación. Como muestra para el estudio, se obtuvieron comentarios en la comunidad virtual Tatavla'dan Kurtuluş'a en Facebook entre el 30 de mayo y el 30 de diciembre de 2022 (n: 1134), y estos comentarios fueron analizados por el método de análisis del discurso de Van Dijk. De acuerdo con los hallazgos, las comunidades formadas por el encuentro de los yos en el contexto micro aseguran la continuidad de la identidad y la cultura del barrio que se ha erosionado en el entorno virtual. Sin embargo, el impacto de estas comunidades en las relaciones e instituciones cara a cara sigue siendo limitado

Overview of Spanish Universities’ Sustainability and Sustainability Communication Performance

Sustainability is not only essential for protecting environment; it is also important for equality, human rights, the fight against hunger, education, health services and social development. Sustainability communication is just as important as these efforts. Through communication efforts, it is possible to make these efforts known and raise awareness on the subject. Universities, which have the greatest role in the development of society, are responsible for raising informed and aware future generations and also lead other institutions in this. This research aims to holistically assess current sustainability and related communication practices particularly gender/equality to reveal the general framework of sustainability structures in universities and to examine communication practices surrounding sustainability in Spanish universities, which perform well in this regard, especially in gender equality. A survey was conducted with 12 Spanish universities which are scored in THE and QS World University Rankings according to their SDG performances.AbstractSustainability is not only essential for protecting the environment; it is also important for equality, human rights, the fight against hunger, education, health services and social development.

Reflections on the Circulation of Wisdom Literature in Late Medieval Aragon and Castile

ABSTRACT: This article studies three stages in the circulation of wisdom literature in Aragon and Castile in the later Middle Ages: 1) Origins: wisdom texts in romance were preceded by texts in Arabic, Hebrew and Latin. By the time these romance texts appeared there was a highly developed (in terms of aids for the reader) of florilegia in Latin which, often dependent on other florilegia, preserved a wide range of authors, both familiar and rare. 2) Manuscript context: a conspectus of the manuscripts in which the vernacular texts are found suggests that scribes (or perhaps rather editors) had a sense of what defined wisdom as a genre. 3) Consumption: the article concludes with the use which romance authors made of the Latin florilegia and testifies to the function of these florilegia as a network of knowledge

The Minga as a communicative Practice that Guides the Social Transformation of the Indigenous People of Chimborazo, Ecuador

Este artículo reflexiona la forma en la que la minga como práctica comunicativa permite la transformación de la realidad -en conjunto- de los habitantes de las parroquias Tixán y Totorillas, provincia de Chimborazo Ecuador. Es un estudio cualitativo que utiliza para la recogida de la información la etnografía y la observación. Entre los resultados obtenidos pudo concluirse que posibilita la acción comunitaria, la reflexión frente a una problemática, una eficiente toma de decisiones que permita intervenir colectivamente la realidad, y en especial, la interacción convertida en generadora de cambio social.This article reflects on the way in which the minga as a communicative practice allows the transformation of the reality -as a whole- of the inhabitants of the Tixán and Totorillas parishes, province of Chimborazo Ecuador. It is a qualitative study that uses ethnography and observation to collect information. Among the results obtained, it could be concluded that it enables community action, reflection on a problem, efficient decision-making that allows collective intervention in reality, and especially, the interaction that has become a generator of social change

«Segons lo Dant història recompta» (March XLV, 90). Sobre la presència de Dante a la literatura catalana antiga

RESUM: Dante i Llull, que van ser contemporanis durant cinquanta anys, si alguna cosa tenen en comú, és la condició d’inteŀlectuals laics, conscients de les respectives missions. Els versos 460-462 del Llibre de Fortuna i Prudència de Bernat Metge (1381) són el primer símptoma de la recepció creativa de Dante. L’estada d’Andreu Febrer a l’efímera cort siciliana de Martí el Jove i la circulació de la Silloge boccaccesca apunten a les vies d’entrada de la influència dantesca en la lírica del xv. Les tesis doctorals de Francesc Gómez i de Raquel Parera confirmen el pes de l’aparat exegètic en la recepció de la Commedia, com es posa de manifest tant a la traducció íntegra en vers que en va fer Andreu Febrer com al Tractat de les penes particulars d’infern de fra Joan Pasqual, i la teoria de la ficció de l’Anònim del Curial e Güelfa té aquesta mateixa font. L’ús literari de Dante en Ausiàs March que va plantejar un treball pioner de Costanzo Di Girolamo continua demanant nova atenció. Les pistes que podrien connectar Dante amb Muntaner i amb altres escriptors com Turmeda són tan estimulants com especulatives.ABSTRACT: The strongest parallel between Dante and Llull is having been two medieval vernacular writers well aware of their respective missions. Lines 460-462 of Llibre de Fortuna i Prudència by Bernat Metge (1381) are the first symptom of Dante’s creative reception. Andreu Febrer’s connection to the ephemeral Sicilian court of Martí el Jove and the circulation of the Silloge boccaccesca indicate the incoming of Dante’s influence in the poetry of the fifteenth century. The PhD thesis by Francesc Gómez and Raquel Parera corroborate that the exegetic apparatus had an outstanding role in the reception of the Commedia, which can be verified both in its unabridged versified translation by Andreu Febrer and in the Tractat de les penes particulars d’infern by fra Joan Pasqual; the theory of fiction advocated by the anonymous Curial e Güelfa author derives from this same source. A pioneering paper by Costanzo Di Girolamo revealed the literary presence of Dante in Ausiàs March’s poetry, which is a subject requiring new attention. Some clues connecting Dante to Muntaner and to other writers like Turmeda, even if stimulating, are lacking evidence

Semantica della voce: la «voz rauca» nella lirica occitanica

RIASSUNTO: Nei trovatori la connotazione «rauca» della voce genera un giudizio qualitativo che può definire non solo il sentimento che accompagna la composizione, ma anche e soprattutto il grado stilistico del prodotto poetico. Scopo dell’indagine è di inquadrare la voce in virtù della sua natura spiritale e di porre in relazione questo aspetto con il carattere pneumo-fantasmatico dell’amore e del linguaggio, nonché con la dimensione espressivo-affettiva dell’io lirico. Il valore stilistico della raucedine verrà convalidato e integrato, in questa prospettiva, tramite confronti con occorrenze tardo-antiche o mediolatine (Isidoro di Siviglia, Marbodo da Rennes, Baudri de Bourgueil) e prove di impianto filosofico. ABSTRACT: In the Old Occitan lyric, the «rauca» voice implies a qualitative judgment that can define not only the feeling that accompanies the composition, but also the stylistic level of the poetry. Aim of this study is to frame the voice by its spiritual nature and to relate this aspect to the pneumo-phantasmatic character of love and language, as well as to the espressive-affective dimension of the lyric ego. The stylistic value of the hoarse voice will be validated and supplemented by comparisons with late-ancient or Middle-Latin occurrences (Isidore of Seville, Marbodo of Rennes, Baudri of Bourgueil) and tests of philosophical plant

The reflection of the struggle against male violence on digital platform TV series: Hükümsüz and Mezarlık

On digital platforms, patriarchal ideology-challenging works are more widely available. The television series Hükümsüz, which debuted on the Exxen platform in 2021, and Mezarlık, which debuted on Netflix in 2022, have established themselves as pioneering projects that raise awareness of the rise in femicides in Turkey in recent years. The Mezarlık dramas, which also reveal the role of the police and the state in the murder of women, and the Hükümsüz series, which emphasizes that femicides are caused by gender inequality and calls into question the patriarchal order, are both examined from a feminist standpoint in this study as works that challenge male dominance. The representations in the dramas are coded in terms of gender roles, perpetrator responsibility and the victimisation of women in the representation of male violence, the politics of femicide and the responsibility of the state, and practices of combating male violence. Using content analysis, one of the qualitative research techniques, it was possible to determine that the series were composed in a way that was intended to undermine the patriarchy, which is a continuation of the prevailing ideology
