Playing the Museum
This article examines the emergence of videogame museums in Spain through a comparative analysis of MUVI Museo do Videoxogo Galego in Cangas, the Museo del Videojuego Arcade Vintage in Ibi, and the OXO Videogame Museums in Málaga and Madrid. It argues that these institutions are shaped by an informational-interactive dilemma: they must preserve, explain, and legitimize videogames as cultural heritage while also allowing visitors to play, touch, a…

Predictors of partisan strength and in-party affect

Concurrently, empirical research proliferates, exploring factors driving this rise, with significant focus on aspects like partisan strength and in-party affective attitude. This scoping review sheds light on investigated predictors of partisan strength and in-party affect and associated mechanisms of influence on the two key …

Exploring the paradoxical national projection in small and secluded island realities
This study explores the paradox of nationalism in small insular communities isolated in seas, particularly oceans. Despite their distinct identity, unique history, exclusive connection between people and territory, and strong association between local symbology and landscape, these communities often resist attaining national status, perceiving it as a precursor to statehood. This paradox manifests as an internal conflict between embracing and rej…
Queen Letizia’s Royal Fashion and Celebrity
This article examines the crucial role of fashion in shaping the celebrity profile of Queen Letizia. Letizia will be scrutinized as a 'celebrity text' to expose how she became fluent in the language of clothing and accessories as a tool to fulfill her role as ambassador of the Spanish fashion industry, the tourism industry and, more broadly, of Spanish culture. In addition, she has used her ability to generate attention through fashion as an effe…
Netflix, Instagram, celebrity and fashion
This article examines the Netflix series La casa de papel and Élite as examples of ‘media convergence’ in which content flows between several industries and creates synergies that cannot be fully explained by a television studies framework of analysis alone. By the same token, the methodological tools of traditional star studies may not provide the best lens for analysing how the actors of these series, most of them unknown until recently, have s…
El amor en los tiempos de crisis
Este ensayo analiza el reciente auge de la comedia romántica española en un ciclo de películas protagonizadas por personajes afectados por la recesión económica en las que el amor se ofrece como compensación de sus vicisitudes financieras. Mi argumento es que este ciclo funciona como “género anti-crisis” o herramienta para suturar las heridas del cuerpo social a partir de la instrumentalización del amor como emoción con implicaciones políticas. L…

An Assessment of the Attitudes Towards Crime Among Professionals in the Criminal Justice System
Attitudes towards crime held by professionals in the criminal justice system seem to be relevant to the implementation of crime control measures and prison reform programmes. With the aim of describing and comparing the attitudes of these professionals towards the causes, prevention, and treatment of crime, two studies were carried out. In Study 1, a Likert attitude scale was constructed. The Attitudes towards Crime Scale (ACS) showed acceptable …
