Mythic narratives of video-game players in online forums
Video games have demonstrated a profound connection with mythic structures. This connection can be examined through player interactions in online forums, where mythic elements may emerge and be reinterpreted in user commentary. This study explores whether fans perceive and discuss, on Steam forums, the classical and contemporary mythic structures embedded in the video games they engage with and whether they are linked with their own day-to-day ex…
Analog Simulation and the Indian Wars: Encountering the Other Through Board Wargames
Combining a historical perspective and game studies and using information from the BoardGameGeek online database, we analyze how board wargames simulate the Indian wars and represent Native North Americans. Based on 125 games published between 1960 and 2023, first, we identified the main historical moments reproduced, followed by an iconographic and formal analysis of these games. The conclusions reveal that, like other cultural products (novels,…

Simulating history in contemporary board games: The case of the Spanish Civil War
This article examines the structure of simulation of two recently published analogic war games on the Spanish Civil War in order to analyse the ways in which they represent the history of the Spanish conflict. The study places the board games as an object of analysis within the field of Game Studies and then undertakes a search of which elements used in the study of video games can be used to approach the analysis of historical board games. The a…
Participación pública en la gestión de residuos radiactivos. El emplazamiento del ATC
El significat de la participació pública en el conflicte ambiental va més enllà del seu contingut normatiu. La participació, entesa com a procés de comunicació, no és solament una eina de mediació en els conflictes ambientals, sinó que també és constitutiva en la definició dels actors del conflicte i dels significats que aquests atorguen a la participació mateixa i al risc. Aquest article analitza el conflicte generat a Espanya entorn del project…
The mediatization of the food chain in networked times
This is a theoretical approach about food conceived as a process of communication. Mediatization theory is used to explore long-term changes associated with the media environment. Before, outside, but also inside, the EU institutionalization of the food chain, sense-making regarding food is facing dilemmas of the self in the face of the pressures of late modernity. Additionally, as has occurred in the past, the new media environment is opening up…
Comunicación de riesgos y seguridad alimentaria en la era 2.0
In recent decades, after several crises, the communication of risk has acquired special importance for those responsible for food safety. Public distrust has led the EU to base their communications strategy on scientific information. In spite of the institutionalization and professionalization of risk communication, the results have not been those foreseen in the new media environment. The explosion of social media or web 2.0 has created digital …
Communicating at the edge: Risk communication processes and structural conflicts in highly industrialized petrochemical areas

Data compiled from a set of interviews with stakeholders and focus group discussions with citizens were analysed from an interpretative perspective in an effort to capture underlying situationally specific logic…
