Paradoxes in Generation Z’s Media Consumption and Fake News Perception
Information consumption by young audiences in the internet of algorithms has become a timely issue in the public sphere.

How do digital natives play? Nuances of the gender and generation gap between Millenials and Z in video games
Video games have become an enormously popular cultural and entertainment practice among young people. The main objective of this paper is to analyze the relationship of Millennials and Generation Z with video games and to explore gender differences in their gaming practices.

According to Bazinian realism, the even…

The film makes a political commentary by showing the slums of Barcelona, where impoverished citizens and undocumented migrants coexist. Through Uxbal’s visions of ghosts, the supernatural enters the most marginalised sectors of Barcelona. While popular narratives often relate mobility to liberation and trans…

Halley surprises the audience with the story of a security guard who is dead but remains alive. While his flesh decomposes, Beto goes to work and continues with his lonely life pretending that everything is fine. In this sense, the film presents an unconven…
