    The story of this experience is based on the idea of ​​rethinking the University Library not only as a Documentation Center reserved for the acquisition and conservation of the specialized intellectual heritage, but as a cultural institution with an integrated approach towards the community. From this reflection arises in 2014 the need to create a new collection, which is called "Recreational Literature". It is formed largely by community donations. The number and variety of copies received exceed expectations and the physical space available to accommodate them. After the inauguration of this new space, the problem arises as to what to do with the surplus. Faced with this situation, an action is planned that promotes the accessibility and diffusion of this material. From there arises the campaign that is called "Free Books" the same one is developed during the month of April of 2016 with a release of books of diverse subjects in public places of university city. This activity is carried out within the framework of the International Movement BookCrossing which allows the registration of each book released in a global database through the assignment of a BICID identification code that allows the localization of the work at an international level and thus a geographical tracking of each book. This movement is part of the philosophy of exchange that underlies the use of information technologies, the internet, and especially social networks. Its expansion has generated other original phenomena such as StrettBook, BookRelay and BookMooch. It is concluded that this action of BookCrossing within a Academic and Specialized Library, is novel for the community, not only for the unpublished but for its creative, inclusive and extensionist characte

    The aim of this study to shed some light on the way meaning is constructed in different stages in the Brexit process through some covers of The Economist magazine. The present paper lies within the scope of the research into the instantiation of metaphor, metonymy and image schemas. This analysis has been structured according to the Conceptual Metaphor Theory (Lakoff & Johnson 1980; Ruiz de Mendoza & Pérez, 2011, among others) on the one hand, and the Multimodal Theory (Forceville 1996, 2009, 2012, 2016; Forceville & Urios-Aparisi, 2009) on the other, which have revealed that meaning is created through modes of communication other than verbal ones. The paper shows the role of monomodal and multimodal metaphor and metonymy as persuasive devices in magazine covers and the image-schematic basis of many metaphors and metonymies. In addition the results reveal that many multimodal metaphors are actually metonymy-based.El objetivo de este estudio es arrojar algo de luz sobre la forma en que se construye el significado en diferentes etapas del proceso del Brexit a través de algunas portadas de la revista The Economist.

Este análisis se ha estructurado de acuerdo con la Teoría de la Metáfora Conceptual (Lakoff y Johnson 1980; Ruiz de Mendoza y Pérez, 2011, entre otros) por un lado, y la Teoría Multimodal (Forceville 1996, 2009, 2012, 2016; Forceville y Urios -Aparisi, 2009) por otro, que han revelado que el significado se crea a través de modos de comunicación distintos de los verbales. El artículo muestra el papel de la metáfora y la metonimia monomodal y multimodal como mecanismos persuasivos en portadas de revistas y la interacción de éstas con esquemas de imagen.

    Of Fears and Budgets: Strategies of Control in Vespa velutina Invasion and Lessons for Best Management Practices

    Get PDF
    [Abstrat] Implementing management practices for the control of invasive species can be a complex task with multiple dimensions, where the identification of stakeholders and drivers of those practices is of paramount importance. The invasive hornet Vespa velutina has spread across Europe and Asia from its native range in SE Asia in recent years. A common control method is the removal and destruction of its nests on citizens’ request to call centers. In this paper we have explored the knowledge and main factors that influence the perceptions of the citizens on the species in an invaded municipality in NW Spain, as well as the management practices of the municipal emergency unit responsible for nest removal activities. Our analysis brings out multiple drivers of management practices that derive both from the citizens’ and practitioners’ knowledge, and highlights several points of conflict between both stakeholder groups connected to (1) the degree of service provided to the local population, (2) the risk of allergic reactions as a motive to urge removals, or (3) the quality of information provided by mass media. Our results support the crucial importance of environmental education programs that seek to increase the knowledge of the general public about the threats of invasive species. Such programs might be incorporated to implement and optimize management plans of V. velutina by enhancing communication between experts and local population
