Measuring the Diversity and the Integration of Film Production in Mercosur: A Social Network Analysis

Based on an original and comprehensive database of all feature fiction films produced in Mercosur between 2004 and 2012, the paper analyses whether the Mercosur film industry has evolved towards an integrated and culturally more diverse market. It provides a summary of policy opportunities in terms of integration and diversity, emphasizing the limiter role played by regional policies. It then shows that although the Mercosur film industry remains rather disintegrated, it tends to become more integrated and culturally more diverse. From a methodological point of view, the combination of Social Network Analysis and the Stirling Model opens up interesting research tracks to analyse creative industries in terms of their market integration and their cultural diversity.

Representación fílmica del Derecho del Trabajo durante el Franquismo

El mundo del trabajo no ha gozado de una amplia representación a lo largo de la historia del cine. No obstante, un análisis de los films que han tratado directa o indirectamente dicha temática durante un período histórico determinado puede contribuir a arrojar importantes conclusiones sobre la manera en que se hizo frente social y jurídicamente a esta importante actividad humana. En concreto, el análisis del cine durante el franquismo nos posibilita contemplar aspectos tan importantes como la incorporación de la mujer al mundo del trabajo, la represión del hecho sindical o la crisis de empleo en el primer franquismo

Influences and advice of theatrical consumption. A study about the effect of the theatre critics and other instances of evaluation in the habits of theatre attendance

This article analyses the influence that different criticism stages of proceedings exert in the habits of theatre attendance. The study is based on the survey carried out specifically for this research in which 210 people, who attended a theatrical representation, were interviewed in three different theatres in the city of Valencia. The study has revealed the mouth to mouth importance in the decision of attending the theatre and its stronger influence on the audiences who less frequently go to theatrical representations. The results obtained have also made clear the existence of a narrow relation between the advice effect of the theatre critics and the patterns of attendance to the theatre, just like its bigger influence between theatres with commercial orientation and those which are addressed to the broad audiences.
