The advances in the world of sciences contributes to the progress of mankind. It’s really important to take into account the role of TV as a way of expanding and interpreting the information to make society aware of it and to imply an active participation. But mass media do not only have informative values but they are also formative. In this way of disseminating the information there are three factors to consider: scientific community, educational community and, concretely in this work, TV. El avance de la Ciencia contribuye al progreso de la humanidad. Para que la sociedad, sea consciente y participe de ella, es importante tener en cuenta el papel que juega la televisión como fenómeno de expansión e interpretación de la información. Pero los medios de comunicación no tienen sólo un valor informativo, sino también formativo. En este camino de difusión los intermediarios son tres: la comunidad científica, la comunidad educativa y los medios informativos, en concreto en esta comunicación, la televisión. La comunidad científica tiene la responsabilidad de conocer aquellas preocupaciones y actitudes de su entorno social relevantes para el desarrollo de su actividad. Asimismo, debe aprovechar todas la oportunidades para transmitir a la sociedad en qué forma incorpora a su trabajo y a sus decisiones esas preocupaciones, preferencias y demandas del público. La comunidad educativa juega un papel importante en el desarrollo del conocimiento científico, y también en el desarrollo de hábitos, incluso televisivos. La escuela no sólo tiene la responsabilidad de aportar conocimientos, sino también de fomentar en los alumnos la capacidad de análisis y evaluación crítica del desarrollo científico y técnico. Entre los medios de comunicación, la televisión se ha convertido en una pieza fundamental para las transmitir el conocimiento científico al público, y puede contribuir a la alfabetización científica de la población. Por ello, es esencial que la televisión dedique más atención y espacios a programas de divulgación científica, sin caer en la confusión e imprecisión fruto del desconocimiento de la ciencia.

New technologies have changed our approach to the world providing new ways to communicate with reality. They are considered as big frames to the open world showing us some aspects of reality, removing some others and making us playing the role of constant receivers that see through somebody else´s eyes biassed sight. Las nuevas tecnologías han cambiado la forma de acercarnos al mundo, han proporcionado vías de contacto con la realidad diferentes y una perspectiva mediatizada por los medios de comunicación que se definen como grandes ventanas al exterior; dándonos a conocer unos aspectos, eliminando otros y colocándonos en un papel de receptores constantes que miran a través de los ojos de otros con mirada intencionada.

The COVID-19 pandemic forced physicians around the world to make tragic decisions: Whose life should be saved when it is apparent that available resources are insufficient to treat everyone? Under the heading of "triage" a broad societal debate ensued that also ignited the scientific community. This anthology unites voices from medicine, law, and philosophy for a conversation. It reveals controversies that are deeply rooted in ideas of law, morality, and the role of the individual in the state. Simultaneously, answers are being formulated to questions that have become sadly prominent in the COVID pandemic but could also valid beyond it.

In January 2006, my wife Susannah Sayler and I set out to photograph landscapes around the world that were being transformed by global warming. We called our work The Canary Project. From the beginning, as now, we had both activist aims and artistic ambitions. These two types of motivation overlap in places and in other places feel completely distinct. In general, we feel as though are carrying forward a torch that science cannot carry any further. Following are some thoughts on our role as activists and as artists and as collaborators with the scientific community.

The Media

Mass media affects its consumers primarily in their cognitive dimension, by changing the image of the world - in this sense that the media becomes a vector of social influence, by changing the cognitions of individuals - but also by changing the shared social constructs within membership groups. The stated role of the media is to inform target audiences about events of interest in the field-specific to the activity of the media trust, but also to convey opinions, ideas, and views on those events in a way that is as complete and as complex as possible, allowing recipients to build their own opinions or adhere to one or another of the opinions expressed. This article deals with the ethics of mass communication when faced with a window of opportunity which allows an easier promotion of ideas or interests, taking into account the theory of life as a spectacle promoted by Erwin Goffman.

Popular Geopolitics

A large portion of geopolitical research of the last decades, especially geopolitical criticism, undertakes the concept of the importance of culture, value and identity in explaining the relation between the space and politics, which was an aspect underappreciated by classical and neoclassical geopolitics. It might be assumed that the currently growing role of popculture and mass-media in our lives lead to the establishment of a kind of a “cultural order”, a particular filter that decides on the perception of the world and, consequently, geopolitics. This article relates to this issue as it deals with the meaning of popular culture in contemporary geopolitical research, mostly accentuated by popular geopolitics. This review briefly analyses what popular geopolitics is, how to sketch its research area, stages of development, applied definitions and research methods. The starting point is the assumption that the hegemonic structure of geographical/geopolitical thinking that the elites are trying to impose on the society by using popcultural artifacts may, in fact, be reconstructed thanks to popular geopolitics studies. It shows the scale and reach of resistance towards such imaginations as displayed by the non-elites, who also reach for symbols, texts and images from popular culture. Such circumstances allow to observe either legitimizing or debunking a particular view of the world and geopolitics.

Hydrological Hazards

Abstract. Inundations and landslides are common phenomena that cause serious damage and pose a severe threat to the population of Italy. The societal and economic impact of landslides and floods in Italy is particularly severe, and strategies that target the mitigation of the effects of these events are essential. Although, in the last few years, the scientific community has wanted to communicate information on research activities regarding geo-hydrological hazards and the associated risks to society through thematic websites, very often, communication achieves specific technical purposes for experts. To address the problem posed by the lack of communication on geo-hydrological hazards with potential human consequences in Italy to the broader society, we designed the POLARIS website. The POLARIS website publishes accurate and detailed information on geo-hydrological risks, including periodical reports on landslide and flood risk to the population of Italy, data and analysis on specific damaging events and blog posts on landslide and flood events that able to encourage mass media and citizens' engagement. By monitoring the access of users to POLARIS since January 2014, when the website was published, we registered maximum access during the occurrence of the worst geo-hydrological events and for the promotion of relevant new content through press releases. In particular, in the latter case, we noted the highest access value when journalists promoted the website through television channels. The POLARIS initiative demonstrates how the scientific community can implement suitable communication strategies that address different societal audiences by exploiting the role of mass media and social media. These strategies can help these audiences to understand how risks can be reduced through appropriate measures and behaviors; thus, they can contribute to increasing the resilience of the population to geo-hydrological events.

During the 1920s, the world-wide eugenics movement reached a peak level of popularity. Historians have stressed the key role of the textbook “Human Heredity and Racial Hygiene” in the popularisation of eugenic thinking in Germany. In this textbook the well known scientists Erwin Baur (1875-1933), Eugen Fischer (1874-1967) and Fritz Lenz (1887-1976) tried to combine genetics, anthropology and racial hygiene to form a “Magna Carta” of eugenics. This paper aims at quantitatively reconstructing the book’s development into a standard work. 325 contemporary reviews of the book were analysed. More than 80% of the reviewers evaluated the book positively recommending it to a variety of readers. Most of the reviewers were Medical Doctors concentrating on the eugenic aspects of the book. The reception study makes the reciprocity of eugenics as an accepted science and academics forming it into science prevalent. Explanations for the uniform reaction of the scientific community are discussed. *Key words*: reception study, interwar years, eugenics

The Way

In this article I put forward the concept of subversive infantilisation to designate a phenomenon in contemporary Bosnian literature, which by using a certain kind of childish outlook on the world undermines paternalistic and balkanist Western discourse on Bosnia and Herzegovina. By analysing primarily the portrayal of the role of mass media in a few literary texts, principally books by Nenad Veličkovié and Miljenko Jergovié, I highlight the way in which these texts “re-rig” and by means of irony and exaggeration illuminate the problematic logic inherent in the subject position from which one represents the other. Textual characteristics of subversive infantilisation are contextualised further and seen as a discursive continuation of experiences of the 1990s war in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Current Practices

Durante más de cincuenta años, los libros de artista de Ed Ruscha han favorecido una particular tendencia apropiacionista. Por ejemplo, su obra “Various Small Fires” (1964) ha sido “reescrita” por autores como Bruce Nauman (1969), Jonathan Monk (1969), Lucas Batten y Jonathan Sadler (2003), Thomas Galler (2009), Scott McCarney (2010), Doro Boehme y Eric Baskauskas (2010) y Marcella Hackbard (2010), generándose con ello, un movimiento de apropiacionionismos y resignificaciones que se cierra, al menos temporalmente, con “Various Small Shipwreck… and big Fires” (2016) de autoría propia.El objetivo del presente texto, es el de analizar dichas obras y sus relación con “Various Small Fires”, tomando a Ed Ruscha como fundador de discursividad, y al libro en sí, como icono para la memoria colectiva de los amantes de este género artístico y para la historia del hombre en general. Un análisis que nos ayudará a visualizar cómo algunos artistas bajo la figura del replicante han rehecho el estilo ruschiano para la construcción de nuevos discursos que, inevitablemente refractan, nuestras actuales prácticas de creación y producción editorial en un mundo cada vez más globalizado y dominado por los medios de comunicación masiva. Appropriationism and reinterpretations of the artwork “Various small fires” of Ed RuschaFor over fifty years, the artist’s books of Ed Ruscha have generated an appropriationist trend around the world. For example, his work “Various Small Fires” (1964) has been “rewritten” by authors such as: Bruce Nauman (1969), Jonathan Monk (1969), Luke Batten and Jonathan Sadler (2003), Thomas Galler (2009), Scott McCartney (2010), Doro Boehme and Eric Baskauskas (2010) and Marcella Hackbard (2010), etc. All of them have generated an appropriationist movement and resignifications which is closed, at least temporarily, with “Various Small Shipwreck ... and big Fires” ( 2016) of own authorship. The objetive of this text is to analyze these works and their relation to “Various Small Fires”, taking Ed Ruscha as founder of discourses, and the book itself, as an icon for the collective memory of lovers of this artistic genre and our history, too. Aso, this analysis will help us visualize how some artists under the figure of replicant have remade the style of Ruscha for the construction of new discourses that, inevitably, refracted our current practices of creating and publishing in an increasingly globalized world dominated by mass media.
