El nacionalfutbolismo, bases históricas e iconográficas
La presente investigación recupera el concepto de "nacionalfutbolismo" como una herramienta crítica y de memoria histórica para comprender las complejas relaciones entre el mundo del fútbol y las estructuras de poder en España. Tras localizar el origen del término y discutir sus usos en la literatura existente, se documentan imágenes y materiales de archivo que sugieren, por un lado, que el arco temporal del nacionalfutbolismo tiene antecedentes …
Introducción. Fútbol, poder y comunicación
En el contexto de extrema fragmentación, aceleración y monetización en el que vivimos, resulta difícil pensar en un ámbito sociocultural más saturado de textos e imágenes que el fútbol. Tal y como vaticinaron Roland Barthes y Umberto Eco, el imaginario deportivo ha pasado a ocupar un lugar dominante en los modos de vida y los hábitos comunicativos de las sociedades contemporáneas, generando toda una sintomatología que desborda la práctica deporti…
The gag after #MeToo
Transnational dreamscapes
This article explores the connections between moving images and world fairs by focusing on a specific case: the Barcelona 1929 International Exposition . The event, a key moment in the city’s history, showcased cinema as a technological marvel, a vehicle for transnational influence and a tool for propaganda. After an introduction to the political and economic context of the exposition, our analysis covers four main areas: first, we document the r…
Images and visual motifs of Spanish economic power
The media help to construct the visual and iconographic imagery of economic power in the dialectical tension between what they show and what they leave out of view. Images such as unemployment queues, graphs, and portraits of the powerful appear assiduously on the front pages of the press, revealing different visual motifs essential to understanding the narrative of the economy, with its inheritances, mutations and hierarchies, which point to its…
Power and satire in the front-page images of Mariano Rajoy
This article explores the use of photography and visual motifs as forms of political humour in contemporary media. By studying the representation of former Prime Minister of Spain Mariano Rajoy in the front pages of three Spanish newspapers (El Mundo, El País and La Vanguardia) between 2011 and 2017, the paper identifies and questions the liaisons between power and satire present in the so-called “serious” press, focusing on how different photogr…
Comedies of resistance
In the context of the Japanese Long 68, this essay explores the work of experimental filmmaker Shuji Terayama in relation to the tragicomic possibilities of visual humor and cinematic gags. Juxtaposing Ryan Holmberg’s exploration of Japanese nansensu with other historical, cultural and political theories, the article argues that visual gags and comedic performativity (going back to silent cinema and the avant-garde) allowed Terayama to both embra…
Willful voices
In her passionate review of Vivre Sa Vie (1962), Susan Sontag identified the dissociation of words and images as a key path of modern cinema, a powerful tool that would allow filmmakers to question
Quantitative meta-analysis of visual motifs throughout film history
This paper assesses the importance of visual motifs as new research tools for film and media studies, by running a quantitative meta-study of two expert review databases: the British Film Institute best-movies 2012 poll and the Encyclopedia of visual motifs in cinema (a joint venture of up to sixty researchers and film critics). The former is used as an indicator of canonic values in film historiography, while the latter represents a new approach…
Video Games Around the World
Thirty-nine essays explore the vast diversity of video game history and culture across all the world's continents. Video games have become a global industry, and their history spans dozens of national industries where foreign imports compete with domestic productions, legitimate industry contends with piracy, and national identity faces the global marketplace. This volume describes video game history and culture across every continent, with essay…
Super Mario, the new silent clown
This article examines how the video game character Super Mario has become a key character in contemporary culture and an icon of user-generated comedy in hundreds of YouTube parodies, sketches and visual gags. The transformation of the original figure in user-generated makeovers highlights a vaudevillistic potential that allows Mario’s image to be reinvented, enriching and questioning the limits of fan re-appropriation
