Imperfect ecofuturisms
This article uses the film Black Panther: Wakanda Forever as a springboard for examining and envisioning decolonial possibilities for the future. Rather than locating salvation or futurity in the myth of vibranium’s limitless extraction, this article turns towards the everyday, inventive agency found in African/Afrofuturist and Chicanx/Latin American artistic practices. Drawing from personal stories and experiences, it explores how the film’s spe…
Ecomedia Literacy’s El Buen Vivir/Sumak Kawsay
The Andean concept of “sumak kawsay” (translated as el buen vivir in Spanish and the good life/good living in English) entails a form of relationality between humans and the other-than-human realms (land, water, minerals, air, spirits, etc.) based on care and reciprocity. Corresponding with the “eco-territorial turn” in Latin American social movements, el buen vivir/sumak kawsay informs an ecocentric and decolonial disposition that recognizes the…
Testing the Effectiveness of an Ecomedia Literacy Environmental Education Lesson
The growing environmental crisis requires innovative educational strategies to promote pro-environmental attitudes and behaviors. In this context, ecomedia literacy, which combines ecological education and media to enhance pro-environmental attitudes and behaviors, stimulate sustainable actions, and foster critical thinking, represents a promising approach. In this research, we evaluated the effectiveness of an ecomedia literacy-based lesson. Par…
The Early Upper Palaeolithic in Cueva del Arco (Murcia, Spain) and Its Contextualisation in the Iberian Mediterranean
In this article, we present the results of the research carried out at the Gravettian occupation level of Cueva del Arco (Spain). For this purpose, a multidisciplinary investigation has been carried out in which all the elements recovered in the excavations carried out since 2015 at this site have been studied. The results are contextualised alongside all of the existing Gravettian sites in Mediterranean Iberia. The study of the material culture,…
Seeing microplastic clouds
Connecting environmental and digital media education with the guiding metaphor of water, this article explores ecomedia literacy, a methodology that prompts students to perform a holistic analysis and systems thinking of gadgets using four zones of inquiry: ecoculture, political ecology, ecomateriality, and lifeworld. Ecoculture involves studying the discourses, symbols, and stories associated with gadgets. Political ecology relates to the ideolo…
The Routledge Handbook of Ecomedia Studies
The Routledge Handbook of Ecomedia Studies gathers leading work by critical scholars in this burgeoning field. Redressing the lack of environmental perspectives in the study of media, ecomedia studies asserts that media are in and about the environment, and environments are socially and materially mediated. \n \nThe book gives form to this new area of study and brings together diverse scholarly contributions to explore and give definition to the …
Health Risk Assessment of Exposure to 15 Essential and Toxic Elements in Spanish Women of Reproductive Age
This case study investigates the exposure of 119 Spanish women of reproductive age to 5 essential (Co, Cu, Mn, V, Zn) and 10 toxic (Ba, Be, Cs, Ni, Pb, Pt, Sb, Th, Al, U) elements and assesses their risk. The essential elements (Co, Cu, Mn, V, and Zn) showed average concentrations (GM: geometric mean) of 0.8, 35, 0.5, 0.2, and 347 μg/L, respectively. Five of the toxic elements (Ba, Cs, Ni, Al, U) exhibited detection frequencies of 100%. The GM co…
Biomonitoring of Phthalates, Bisphenols and Parabens in Children
Exposure to emerging contaminants, such as phthalates, bisphenols and parabens in children has been associated with possible neurodevelopment and endocrine alterations. In the present study, the biomonitoring of biomarkers in children (5-12 years old) from the Valencia Region (Spain) have been implemented using urines from the BIOVAL program. More than 75% of the children studied ( n = 562) were internally exposed (>LOQ) to bisphenols and paraben…
Knowledge, Attitudes, and Training in Tobacco Dependence and Cessation Treatment Among Nursing Students in Catalonia (Ectec Study)
Nursing students are part of the future health labor force; thus, knowing their knowledge and participation in tobacco control is of importance. Multicentre cross-sectional study conducted to assess nursing students' knowledge, attitudes, and training in tobacco dependence and treatment at 15 nursing schools in Catalonia. We employed a self-administered questionnaire. 4,381 students participated. Few respondents (21.1%) knew how to assess smokers…
Nation, Race, and Performance in the Poetics of Nicolás Guillén and Nancy Morejón
In the context of revolutionary Cuba, discourses of identity are veiled behind discussions and performances of nation and nationality. Consideration of the paradoxical relation of blackness and the Cuban Revolution must consider the historical relation of blackness to the Cuban nation, from its inception, to independence, through the Republic and immediately prior to the Revolution. In addition, a discussion of this relation must consider the dis…
Nancy Morejón, Nicolás Guillén y el cimarronaje aún necesario en Cuba contemporánea
This intersectional and epistemological study of Nancy Morejón’s 1982 Nación y mestizaje en Nicolás Guillén resolves the tension, which intrigued most of her critics, between her political commitment and sophisticated lyricism. The author examines Morejón’s unquestionable revolutionary support and adhesion to Guillén’s conceptualization of la nación mestiza—instrumental for the cohesiveness promoted by the revolutionary regime—through the compreh…
Redefining Mestizaje
This essay recovers the history of 1960s and 1970s black movements in Cuba through an examination of works by Afro-Cuban intellectuals and their meetings with Caribbean thinkers to show the coexistence of mestizaje and black consciousness as a defining, but overlooked, feature of black activism in Cuba. While the existing literature locates black consciousness in the English- and French-speaking Caribbean, this essay highlights how Afro-Cubans in…
Introduction
This essay introduces a special section on the Afro-Cuban poet and intellectual Nancy Morejón's 1982 book Nación y mestizaje en Nicolás Guillén (Nation and Mestizaje in Nicolás Guillén). It sets up the contributors by surveying the literary and political trajectory of Morejón's career in the years leading up to the publication of the book, focusing in part on her silencing by the Cuban state because of earlier activities centered on Afro-Cuban ri…
Mas yo resto
In this interview, Cuban poet Nancy Morejón talks about her early work, her involvement with Ediciones El Puente, her poetry publishing hiatus from 1967 to 1979, and her literary criticism on the work of Nicolás Guillén. (In Spanish; an English translation is available online
Alberto O’Farrill
This chapter explores the fragments arrachés of Alberto O'Farrill—the black writer and actor who appeared on the teatro bufo (Cuban minstrelsy) stage and in the New York City Latino newspapers La Prensa and El Gráfico from the 1920s to the 1930s. O'Farrill's arrival in the United States via Key West seemingly allowed him a career in the transnational teatro bufo, which was then a belated form of troubling racial representation. The traces in La P…

Around 1979
This chapter talks about the texts around 1979 in Miami and the overlapping histories of the illicit drug trade, African American uprising, and Mariel migration. A response to Mariel appeared in the 1983 film Scarface, which put its lead actor, Al Pacino, in brownface, as the Mariel migrant Antonio Montana. This was a minstrel moment, whose lineage involves the Jewish American Paul Muni's Italianface performance in the 1932 version of the film, a…

Greening Media Education
Defusing the Cannon/Canon
In order to convey the dangers of climate change, many activists deploy the old canon of communication theory, which views mass media as a kind of "magic bullet." Influenced by theories such as George Lakoff's cognitive linguistics, they propose that environmentally "progressive" mass media frames can be aimed like a cannon at the "public mind." This article argues that such an effort mirrors a mechanistic strategy of industrial production and re…

Supreme Audit Institutions and their communication strategies
In the past, Supreme Audit Institutions (SAIs) rarely publicized their work. In the 1990s, a few began to publish booklets and brochures for popular consumption and to establish ties with the media. These days, SAIs are concerned about communication. A communication policy completes their cycle of accountability, justifies their existence, is an essential component of their independence and efficiency and brings about measures which assess the im…
Imagery Factors in the Spanish Version of the Verbalizer-Visualizer Questionnaire
The factor structure and internal consistency reliability of the Spanish version of the Verbalizer-Visualizer Questionnaire was analyzed. 969 male and female high school students completed the questionnaire and the Gordon Test of Visual Imagery Control. Factor analysis indicated that the questionnaire comprises five factors: "interest in words," "dream vividness and frequency," "verbal fluency," "task performance difficulty," and "ways of thinkin…
