Especificitats de la narrativa audiovisual informativa a Internet: anàlisi de les rutines de producció i dels vídeos produïts per La Vanguardia Digital, VilaWeb i 3cat24.cat

El present projecte d’investigació és el treball de recerca del Doctorat en Comunicació Pública (bienni 2007-2009) i es proposa de desenvolupar-lo com a tesi doctoral. Vol estudiar les especificitats de la narrativa audiovisual informativa a Internet de tres mitjans digitals decomunicació catalans. Per a fer-ho es proposa una metodologia qualitativa dividida en dos blocs: el primer, a partir de l'observació, entrevistes en profunditat i enquestes, vol investigar les novesrutines de producció audiovisual en aquests tres mitjans, condicionades per un nou entorn digital; el segon, a partir de la narratologia, vol analitzar els efectes d'aquestes rutines i d'aquest nou entorn enel producte audiovisual resultant

Quality and Competition: An Empirical Analysis across Industries, March 2006

This paper empirically explores the link between quality and concentration in a cross-section of manufactured goods. Using concentration data and product quality indicators, an ordered probit estimation explores the impact of concentration on quality that is defined as an index of quality characteristics. The results demonstrate that market concentration and quality are positively correlated across different industries. When industry concentration increases, the likelihood of the product being higher quality increases and the likelihood of observing a lower quality decreases.

La Capoeira como símbolo de los nuevos modos de representación audiovisual

Partiendo de la capacidad expresiva y reflexiva que albergan las imágenes tecnológicas para manifestar la red de implicaciones que se configuran en un sistema de representación como el que se desarrolla durante una exhibición de Capoeira, el propósito que me planteo en este trabajo consiste en abrazar el gran desafío del saber contemporáneo de educar(se) ‘en’ y ‘para’ la era planetaria, es decir, desatar un impulso de pensamiento complejo que esté animado por una tensión permanente entre la aspiración a un saber no parcelado, no dividido, no reduccionista, y el reconocimiento de lo inacabado e incompleto de todo conocimiento La aventura especulativa que se desencadena en esta investigación parte de una posición propia declarada: el análisis histórico, estético y antropológico de los fundamentos culturales que se despliegan durante una roda de Capoeira nos sirve para detectar categorías conceptuales que permiten esbozar la delimitación de un territorio metafórico donde se ilustra el carácter epistémico adscrito a la visualidad de alguno de los dispositivos y formas audiovisuales que configuran los entornos digitales comunicativos que habitamos en la actualidad

Sources of comparative advantage in polluting industries

We study the determinants of comparative advantage in polluting industries. We combine data on environmental policy at the country level with data on pollution intensity at the industry level to show that countries with laxer environmental regulation have a comparative advantage in polluting industries. Further, we address the potential problem of reverse causality. We propose an instrument for environmental regulation based on meteorological determinants of pollution dispersion identified by the atmospheric pollution literature. We find that the effect of environmental regulation on the pattern of trade is causal and comparable in magnitude to the effect of physical and human capital.

Figures du féminin dans les industries culturelles contemporaines

Ce numéro évoque la transition entre une époque (celle des années 1970), où le féminisme fédérait les revendications des femmes, et une autre, contemporaine, qui est perçue comme celle de l'« après ». Ou plutôt entre l'ère féministe et l'ère du postféminisme, un passage que les articles du Grand angle ne discutent pas, mais constatent, non pas pour bouter le féminisme hors du social et du débat, mais pour analyser les tensions sociales, politiques et théoriques que le postféminisme, précisément parce qu'il est dans sa nature de se référer au féminisme, génère. Cette position, qui consiste à ne pas régler d'emblée le type de relation qui lie féminisme et postféminisme, est évidemment une des positions possibles. Elle peut être contestée, mais il faut savoir qu'il est nécessaire, pour entrer dans la démarche de ce numéro, de l'adopter, ne serait-ce que le temps de la lecture.

Public infrastructure and the performance of manufacturing industries: short-and long-run

We present a theoretical framework for determining the short- and long-run effects of infrastructure. While the short-run effects have been the focus of most previous studies, here we derive long-run elasticities by taking into account the adjustment of quasi-fixed inputs to their optimum levels. By considering the impact of infrastructure on private investment decisions, we observe how, apart from the direct effect on costs in the short-run, infrastructure exerts an indirect source of influence in the long-run through their effect on private capital. The model is applied to manufacturing industries in the Spanish regions
