La construcción social del personaje en la vida cotidiana: Un estudio poliédrico sobre Letizia Ortiz (La Reina del Pueblo)

Este novedoso y original trabajo de investigación pretende asentar una primera base que permita el examen riguroso de la construcción de un personaje en concreto. Este estudio aborda la presentación sobre la actual Reina de España, Letizia Ortiz, a partir de la producción de noticias por parte de los periodistas y de los medios de comunicación, que realizan los periódicos ABC y El País, además de la revista semanal Hola, en un determinado periodo, que abarca desde septiembre a diciembre del 2014. Todo ello, elaborando un modelo que debiera combinar los enfoques de la economía política, desde la visión estructural, y de los estudios culturales, en un marco analítico textual. El objetivo es desentrañar el esquema de un poliedro, teniendo en cuenta en el proceso, tanto la producción como la importancia del “canal”, es decir, del mensaje y su soporte.

Approaches of the Action Art in early childhood Education. Some other ways of interrelation within the educational system

This Artistic research project was created in order to test how to put into practice approaches between Contemporary Art and University daily life. In this particular case, between Action Art and the students at the Early Childhood Education University in Alicante. The generalized lack of awareness about changes which took place in Art in the XX century, demonstrates the lack of interest on the part of students about Contemporary Art, and therefore, it is still remarkable, the distance between Art and life. Thus, as artists and teachers, the chance to carry out specific experiments is open within everyday educational life. Therefore, through Action Art a communicative interaction is possible to be achieved as an active learning process and, in such way, change the usual existing relationships in a predetermine context, creating this way, future Contemporary Art consumers and transmitters.

The discursive capacity of graphic design

The relationship between rhetoric and graphic design is presented in this article. The comparison between a classical orator and a graphic designer, between a discourse and a piece of design comes from the connections between with the communication and creativity. We will see how an application of the fundamentals of rhetoric can open new doors to the professional practice, the education of graphic design and the same theory of the rhetoric of the image.By the analysis of a design is exemplified the points of union that show how the arguments, operations, figures of discourse and rhetorical phases are present in the creative process of graphic design and how designers, perhaps unconsciously, use techniques that were traditional. In other words, graphic design is a rhetorical construction.There is then a transposition of a discourse model created by linguistic signs to a discourse model consists of visual and typographic signs, causing design is seen as a discursivediscipline that goes beyond the aesthetic component.
