Understanding How Immersive Media Enhance Prosociality
The aim of this article is to present a systematic review and meta-analysis of the literature on the relationship between immersive media and prosociality, specifically in the discipline of social issues. The search was conducted in January 2023 and included research published up to and including 2022. Both parts of the review consider 43 studies. For the meta-analysis, by combining these studies we obtained a total sample size of 5,390 participa…
VR content and its prosocial impact
The main purpose of this paper is to explore the prosocial impact of virtual reality (VR) audiovisual content based on a systematic literature review of empirical research on immersive VR media's potential to elicit prosocial behaviors. The illusion of place, verisimilitude, and virtual corporeality are the main elements that underpin the creation of immersive experiences that can turn the user into an active subject of the narrative, engaging wi…
Research on prosocial screen and immersive media effects
The goal of this study is to offer an overview of the trends that characterize the current research on prosocial media effects. To this end, we conducted a systematic literature review. The period reviewed was from 2017 to 2021. It found four general trends: The first one is related to research on prosocial children ́s media. The second deals with the examination of the effects of mixing prosocial and violent content and practices in the same med…
Filmmaker–subject relationship in documentary filmmaking
This article aims to provide a contextual overview of the filmmaker–subject relationship in documentary filmmaking. This topic is addressed in those documentary films that require the involvement of the filmmaker in the participants’ everyday lives over a prolonged period, thereby turning their relationship into a central feature of the documentary filmmaking. I argue that the filmmaker–subject relationship involves a personal engagement that pro…

Introductory Reflections on Perpetrators of Crimes Against Humanity and their Representation in Documentary Film
In recent years the number of diverse forms of cultural productions focused on the perpetrators has increased significantly eliciting thus a turn toward this problematic figure. The originality of these narratives lies in the shift in point of view they propose: their protagonists, rather than being the victims of the atrocities, are instead their perpetrators. A significant number of documentary films examining crimes against humanity from the p…
Facing the perpetrator’s legacy
The aim of this article is to address a transversal topic within perpetrator studies: how subsequent generations deal with the legacy of their perpetrator ancestors. To achieve it, we analyse six recent documentary films, all produced between 2015 and 2018 that cover four different contexts: Nazi Germany, the Spanish Civil War, and the Chilean and Argentine dictatorships. Through a comparative methodological approach, our focus is on finding simi…
Documenting the legacies of the Chilean dictatorship
The Chilean dictatorship is the subject of a number of recent non-fiction films in which the construction of Chile’s collective memory also focuses on those who supported, collaborated or participated in the perpetration of the abuses and atrocities committed by the regime. In recent years, a new generation of Chilean filmmakers has emerged; among these are Andrés Lübbert and Lissette Orozco, whose documentary films about the dictatorship, El col…
Changing times for scholarly communication
This paper aims to address the video as a new scholarly communication form, alternative to the traditional written paper. Although the use of video could be a worthwhile option for any field of study in which videographic practice would facilitate the communication of the research findings and thus enhance our understanding of them, this practice seems especially useful when the object of study itself is the audiovisual language. For this reason …
Documenting atrocities around the world
Following a century filled with violations of human rights, a significant number of documentary films have appeared since the first decade of the current century that report these events. Traditionally this process is carried out from the victims’ point of view. However, a new tendency has emerged in which the films deal with the perpetrators’ perspective. It is easy to understand how establishing a relationship with a person who has committed at…
L’Avventura
This article examines Michelangelo Antonioni’s L’Avventura offering a new discussion of its narrative value, exploring the role of emotions and cognition in narrative, and their interaction. We believe the results of this study could reshape the current understanding of the film’s main aesthetic properties. We agree with some of the main characteristics outlined previously by scholars and critics, regarding not only the film’s plot structure but …
Making Cinema, Thinking Cinema
The aim of this article is to map a history of reflexive practices in Spanish cinema. To this end, I will explore how Spanish film-makers have expressed their relationship with cinema on screen through their personal reflections. In doing so, I will attempt to answer the following questions: How do Spanish film-makers carry out reflexive practices? What techniques, strategies and resources do they apply to express their personal reflections? What…
The filmmaker as activist
This study is focused on those filmmakers who make films as a way of fighting to defend human rights. I look in particular in this article at their activist role in the process of documenting human rights abuses in contemporary film projects that explore the aftermath of genocide. In Asia, we can find two examples: the anticommunist genocide in Indonesia in 1965–66 and the genocide perpetrated by the Khmer Rouge regime in Cambodia in 1975–79. Two…

Contemporary Spanish Cinema
Any national cinema may be approached from various perspectives. It may even be \nexplored from the perspective of its own negation; that is, from a transnational \nperspective that questions its national identity. Spanish cinema as studied in this issue is no exception to this point, but rather an example that illustrates it with all its consequences. On the one hand, when referring to the cinematic medium in general, it is not possible to speak…
Praise for the Muses of José Luis Guerin
[EN] This article offers an analysis of the unique and complex work of José Luis Guerin, one of Spain s most prominent film directors, taking as a point of reference the cinematic correspondence that Guerin has recently exchanged with Jonas Mekas within the collective project titled Todas las cartas. Correspondencias fílmicas. The correspondence between both filmmakers from December 2009 to April 2011 is of special relevance as the five letters t…
Investigar desde internet
Web 2.0 represents a revolution in terms of the possibilities it offers for facilitating communication and collaboration between users – something that has become increasingly common in the world of research, thanks to academic social networks. The article proposed here will study this phenomenon using a methodological system based on the analysis of these networks, in order to demonstrate its potential in a society that is becoming increasingly …
Integración de servicios de referencia digital con la gestión de una biblioteca
The digital environment and information and communication technologies open up new ways of providing library services, including the reference service, the principal aim of which is to address users’ queries and information needs. Putting the reference service in place in this new environment requires redesigning the policies, procedures and resources applied to it and therefore an analysis of the services and functions of the computing tools ava…
Quantitative approaches for evaluating the influence of films using the IMDb database
Why do films certain remain influential throughout film history? The purpose of this paper is to attempt to answer this question. To do so, we adopt some quantitative approaches that facilitate an objective interpretation of the data. The data source we have chosen for this study is the Internet Online Movie Database (IMDb), and in particular, one of its sections called "Connections", which lists references made to a film in subsequent movies and…
