La cuestión del potencial democratizador de los medios de comunicación ha merecido tanto la esperanza ingenua como el escándalo apocalíptico. Es un asunto en el que no nos jugamos poco: la posibilidad de que las instituciones de la sociedad civil sean o no capaces de promover la infraestructura moral de la democracia. De ser así, sobraría un saber de segundo grado como la filosofía que se interrogue sobre tradiciones comunitarias, que aparecerían capaces de vigorizar la esfera pública como ámbito de control y producción de poder. Sin embargo, las coacciones a las que se ven sometidos los media en un régimen de competencia mercantil no recomiendan tales ilusiones. ; The question of the democratizing potential of the media has deserved both genuine hope and apocalyptic scandal. It is a matter in which we risk much: the possibility that civil society institutions may be able to promote the moral infrastructure of democracy. If this were the case, second order knowledge like philosophy, studies which inquire into community traditions, would not be necessary, as these institutions would be able to invigorate the public sphere as a means of control and power production. However, in a mercantile competition system, the media are subject to such coercions that such illusions are not allowed. ; Grupo de Investigación Antropología y Filosofía (SEJ-126).

The framework of linguistic intergroup bias is used to understand the interplay language use & cognitive biases in political conflicts. The hypothesis that desirable ingroup & undesirable outgroup behaviors are described in more abstract terms than undesirable ingroup behavior & desirable outgroup behavior was tested using G. Semin & K. Fiedler's (1988) categorical linguistic model in two studies of political conflict. In the first, 123 subjects from two opposing social movements -- 63 from Coordination de Gesto por la Paz(Coordinated Action for Peace [CGP]) & 60 from Herri Batasuna (supporting Basque independence) -- described the behaviors of models pictured wearing either CGP or Basque independence symbols. In the second study, the descriptions of victim & aggressor in a nationalist & nonnationalist murder in editorials of two nationalist -- Elgin & Deia -- & two nonnationalist -- Diario Vasco & ABC -- newspapers were analyzed. In both cases, with ANOVAs & qualitative analysis, respectively, the hypothesis was confirmed. 4 Tables, 22 References. Adapted from the source document.

El presente estudio comprueba la teoría de la exposición selectiva durante las elecciones nacionales españolas de 1996. Se analizan dos hipótesis principales. En la primera de ellas se exploran las relaciones entre el recuerdo de voto y el consumo de medios de difusión, es decir, la tendencia de los ciudadanos a preferir aquellos medios que son consonantes con su ideología y creencias políticas y a rechazar aquellos que perciben que son disonantes con ellas. La segunda hipótesis está dirigida a comprobar que los medios españoles poseen una agenda altamente politizada mediante un análisis del contenido de algunos periódicos nacionales (El País y El Mundo), locales (Diario de Navarra y Diario de Noticias) y dos cadenas de televisión (TVE1 y Antena 3). ; The present study tests the theory of selective exposure during 1996 national election campaign in Spain. Two main hypothesis are explored. The first one concerns the relationships between vote recall and media consumption, that is to say, the tendency of citizens to prefer media which are consonant with their ideology and political beliefs and to reject those which they perceive as dissonant with them. The second hypothesis objective is to prove that media in Spain have a highly politicized agenda analyzing the content of some national newspapers (El Pais and El Mundo) and two television channels (TVE1 and Antena3).

After analyzing the economic origin of the globalization concept & the internationalization of capital, from WWII until the emergence of the first global corporations, examined is the impact of this process in the cultural arena, where global images are translated around the world by the mass media, thus impacting national & regional identities. Also reflected on are problems of the "information age," in which increasing globalization is being pushed by the development of media industries, especially the new technologies that permit accumulating, transferring, & processing data at low cost. 9 References.

In a crisis of paradigms, globalization seems to be the new social construct that orients social organization phenomena. Global & globalization are the new categories of analysis that, although related to economics, have been used to understand other social manifestations as well. Explored here are methodological considerations that should be taken into account in using globalization as a working macrocategory, as well as the consequences of globalization & its relationship with mass communication phenomena. Also addressed are new forms of social relations produced in global conditions & the role of the mass media in the construction of social identities, ie, global, national, & cultural identities. 14 References.

Globalization is the process of "generalized mass mediazation" (Thompson, John B., 1991), implying the omnipresence of the media of mass communication in the everyday life of individuals & its influence on their social interaction. The new international agencies play a central role in this process, & technological developments allow messages to be produced & disseminated to people located in sociohistoric contexts that do not necessarily coexist. Today's individual lives in close relation with the media of mass communication. Adapted from the source document.
