Con una serie de citas, recuerdos, entrevistas y apuntes, el autor se propone reconstruir las contribuciones del filósofo, investigador y profesor Sergio Roncallo-Dow a los estudios de la comunicación en el contexto iberoamericano. A lo largo de su carrera académica, la particular mirada de Sergio lo llevó a abordar diferentes objetos de estudio y de reflexión, basándose en un personal trípode que se asentaba en la historia de la filosofía, las teorías de las comunicación y la cultura pop. Es este espíritu híbrido y transdisciplinario el que se quiere poner en evidencia en este texto tributo. Porque, así como hay bandas tributo, también hay textos tributo que aspiran a reinterpretar las mejores canciones de un artista.

En este artículo se describen las posiciones adoptadas por algunos investigadores de la comunicación respecto al "fin de la televisión". Si en la primera parte se pasa revista a los principales autores que han hablado sobre la "muerte de la televisión", en la segunda se analiza el paso de la paleotelevisión a la neotelevisión, y la crisis que atraviesa el medio en la actualidad. En la tercera se describen y sintetizan los principales rasgos pertinentes que caracterizan a la hipertelevisión. Finalmente, el artículo concluye con unas reflexiones sobre las consecuencias políticas de la crisis del broadcasting y el discurso sobre el fin de la televisión. ; In this article we describe the opinions of various communication researchers regarding the "end of televisión". If in the first section we describe the main scholars that have talked about the "death of television", in the second section we analyze the passing from paleotelevision to neotelevision and the contemporary crisis of this media. In the third section we analyse the main pertinent traits of hypertelevision. Finally, the article concludes with a reflection on the political consequences of the broadcasting system crisis and the discourse about the end of television. ; Fil: Scolari, Carlos.

"This book describes the lifecycle of media in the context of the media ecology, presenting a general theoretical framework and a series of methodological procedures to support the construction of an eco-evolutionary approach to media change. Focusing on a series of processes - emergence, competition, dominance, hybridization, adaptation, extinction - this book goes beyond a chronological approach to propose a reticulated and multi-layered conception of media evolution. If media evolution is a network, what are the relationships between "media species" like? What happens when a new media emerges into the media ecology? How do new media influence the old ones? Can media become extinct? How do media adapt when the social and economic context changes? How can media evolution be analysed? What kinds of quantitative and qualitative techniques can be applied in media evolution research? By presenting an innovative research approach and theoretical framework to media studies, this book will be of keen interest to scholars and graduate students of new media, media history and theory, philosophy of technology, mass communication, and organisational studies"--

This article reflects on the current state of digital communication studies in the context of mass communication research. The objectives of the article are: 1) to characterize the enunciators and the contents of scientific conversations about digital communication; and 2) to sketch a map of possible interlocutors who might enrich this new research field. After quickly exploring the paradigms of mass communication studies, the article deals with the main theoretical conversations about digital communication. The second part of the article describes the transformations that the appearance of digital technology has generated in communication processes. The article concludes with an agenda of the main issues and partners that theoretical conversations about digital communication should include. The article analyzes the constitution of a new scientific field and describes the process that may, in the future, lead to the creation of a theory of digital communication.

A decade has passed since the introduction of "transmedia storytelling," a concept that refers to forms of multiplatform and collaborative storytelling. This special section opens an avenue for critical accounts of the associated narrative phenomena, social experiences, and conceptual positions. It suggests that it is time to move away from celebrating instances of transmedia productions as poetically fascinating outcomes of contemporary media changes, or as enablers of new economic possibilities for media industries, or of participatory opportunities for audiences. Instead, it calls for investigations of transmedia productions as contested phenomena—sources of contemporary cultural and social complexities—including new forms of scarcities, inequalities, and power struggles. This special section emphasizes empirical studies of situated differences of how transmedial content is produced, used and interpreted in various contexts and by different actors. The articles present case studies from several countries on aspects of transmedia content production, associated user studies, and predecessors of various modern forms of transmediation (that too often are celebrated for their unprecedented newness). The section is explicitly interdisciplinary and builds on several established research traditions (e.g., cultural studies, political economy, semiotics, and narratology). With an introduction by Ibrus and Scolari, these works attest to the importance of a cross-disciplinary dialogue on transmedia communications as social, economic, and textual phenomena.

In this deliverable, we present the preliminary national analytical reports on transmedia skills and informal learning strategies. In particular, there is one table per country in which a brief description of every item is given. The order of the national analytical tables is the following: Australia, Colombia, Finland, Italy, Portugal, Spain, United Kingdom and Uruguay. It is important to note that in the case of Australia, the table only shows preliminary results. As mentioned in the Periodic Technical Report, fieldwork in this country has been delayed due to problems related to school selection. For this reason, the Australian team hasnot finished the coding process of the data collected in fieldwork. Also, at the last part of this document (p.20), there is an additional table which contains the overall results of all countries. This deliverable will be completed in month 27 (D.4.2- Final report on transmedia skills and informal learning strategies). ; The TRANSMEDIA LITERACY Project has received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme under Grant Agreement No 645238

Crossmedia and transmedia are keywords of increasing importance for media professionals and scholars alike. Although these phenomena are older than sometimes argued, the affordances of digital networked media have radically enriched the nature of «crossmedia strategies» of media industries. As such crossmedia is an emergent practice that arises as one of the core sources of complexity and innovation for late modern cultures. This edited volume includes chapters by authors from three continents who approach the phenomenon from different disciplinary angles: semiotics, cultural studies, media ec
