El debate sobre la utilización de los símbolos religiosos en el ceremonial público español no es nuevo. Desde que la Constitución de 1978 acuñara el Estado aconfesional, se renueva periódicamente la controversia sobre la presencia de los símbolos religiosos en los actos oficiales, principalmente en la toma de posesión de cargos públicos, tanto en el ámbito del Estado, como en el de las comunidades autónomas o las administraciones locales, sin que exista, hasta el momento, una directriz unívoca o un criterio único a seguir.Defensores y detractores argumentan, cada cual con sus razones, tanto en los medios de comunicación como en las cámaras legislativas, pretendiendo unos legislar en contra del uso de los símbolos religiosos y otros en favor de su permanencia.El tema, que no es meramente formal, resulta complejo, ya que pone en juego sentimientos religiosos, intereses políticos y tradiciones históricas y culturales.  Todo ello en un contexto sociopolítico convulso que no se presta precisamente a la reflexión pausada y ponderada.Con la intención de plantear el debate desde el análisis de la situación en que se encuentra, lo abordaremos desde diferentes perspectivas: el punto de vista conceptual, que nos acercará al verdadero papel que juegan los símbolos en el ceremonial público; el punto de vista legal, que nos situará en el marco normativo de aplicación, y el punto de vista comparativo, que nos permitirá relativizar al comparar el caso español con el de otros países de nuestro entorno geopolítico.Nos ceñiremos al caso de las tomas de posesión de cargos públicos, que es suficientemente amplio y representativo de la situación actual.________________________The debate about the use of religious symbols in the Spanish public ceremonial is not new. Since the Constitution of 1978, the non-denominational state has coined, the controversy over the presence of religious symbols in official acts, especially in the taking of public office, both at the State level and in the autonomous communities or local administrations, without a single guideline or a single criterion to follow.Defenders and detractors argue, each with their reasons, both in the media and in the legislative chambers, pretending to legislate against the use of religious symbols and others in favor of their permanence.The issue, which is not merely formal, is complex, since it involves religious feelings, political interests and historical and cultural traditions. All this in a convoluted sociopolitical context that does not lend itself to deliberate and thoughtful reflection.With the intention of raising the debate from the analysis of the situation in which it is, we will approach it from different perspectives: the conceptual point of view, which will bring us closer to the true role of symbols in public ceremonial; The legal point of view, which will place us in the normative framework of application, and the comparative point of view, which will allow us to relativize when comparing the Spanish case with that of other countries in our geopolitical environment.We will stick to the case of the taking of public office, which is sufficiently broad and representative of the current situation.

RESUMO  Este é um ensaio teórico sobre a relevância do conceito de massa utilizado no contexto dos estudos de Comunicação. Há o reconhecimento da importância da mídia na formação de identidades, comportamentos e sociabilidades, a dinâmica vivida na esfera pública promovida por ela e nas relações entre diferentes práticas culturais. Nestes termos, o conceito de massa está completamente superado. Já deveria ter sido superado pouco depois de ter sido inventado. Logo após as primeiras pesquisas de Lasswell sobre as intenções de voto dos norte-americanos, descobriu-se uma teia complexa de fatores, em que eles votavam influenciados por inúmeras variáveis e, portanto, não eram uma massa homogênea, sem identidade, sem rosto. O fato é que, do ponto de vista científico, o conceito de massa, em termos analíticos, é completamente inoperável, é um muro opaco que esconde atributos fundamentais do público receptor das mensagens midiáticas e impede a compreensão dos complexos processos interativos que ocorrem entre eles. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Massa; meios de comunicação de massa; sociedade de massa; indivíduo.   ABSTRACTThis is a theoretical essay regarding the relevance of the concept of mass used in the context of Communication studies. There is the recognition of the importance of the media in the formation of identities, behaviors and sociability; the dynamics experienced in public space promoted by the media and in the relations between different cultural practices. Therefore, the concept of mass is completely overcome. It should have been overcome shortly after it was invented. In the very first research of Lasswell regarding the intentions of vote of Americans, it was discovered that they voted influenced by countless variables and, therefore, they were not a homogeneous mass without identity or faceless. The fact is that, from a scientific point of view, in analytical terms, the concept of mass is completely inoperable and it is an opaque wall that hides fundamental attributes of the public of media messages and prevents the understanding of complex interactive processes that occur between them. KEYWORDS: Mass; mass media; mass society; individual.   RESUMENEste es un ensayo teórico sobre la pertinencia del concepto de masa se utiliza en el contexto de los estudios de comunicación.

En consecuencia, el concepto de masa está completamente superado. Debería haber sido superado poco después de que fue inventado. Poco después de las primeras encuestas Lasswell sobre las intenciones de voto de los estadounidenses, descubrieron una compleja red de factores, votaron influenciados por muchas variables y por lo tanto no eran una masa homogénea, sin identidad, sin rostro.

As is described in this conclusion, more than the media and culture, Madrid’s public space constituted the primary arena where reactions and attitudes toward social conflict and inequalities were negotiated. Social conflict in the public space found expression through musical performance, as well as through the rise of noise that came with the expansion and modernization of the city. Through their impact on public health and morality, noise and unwelcomed musical practices contributed to the refinement of Madrid’s city code and the modernization of society. The interference of vested political interests, however, made the refining of legislation in these areas particularly difficult. Analysis of three musical practices, namely, flamenco, organilleros, and workhouse bands, has shown how difficult it was to adopt consistent policies and approaches to tackling the forms of social conflict that were associated with musical performance.

Political Decisions

The contemporary functioning of the media is inextricably linked with what is happening in the world ofpolitics. The case of the Mafra corporation and the behaviour of its owner Andrej Babiš shows how throughthe interrelations of these two spheres the media can influence the shaping of political decisions, opinionsor preferences in the elections. The penetration of business and political interests, related informal layoutsand dependencies as well as high media instrumentation allow us to claim that today the process ofoligarchisation of the Czech media is highly advanced. This is connected with the increasing concentrationof ownership of media companies and intervention of the owners into the published content, but also withchanges in journalism itself. The media cease to be a “watch dog” controlling the authorities and caringabout the quality of public debate. Instead, they are creating reality, more and more openly, attemptingto manipulate the public, which results in less and less trust on their part and poses a serious threat todemocracy.

Clear Idea

It is a long-established commonplace in any debate on immigration that immigrants should integrate into their receiving society. But integrate into what precisely? Into the labor market, into the legal order, into the political system, into a national culture whatever this might comprise? The Article tries to approach the question from the legal point of view and looks for hints or clues in the constitution which might help us with the answer. For this purpose, it explores the general theory of the constitution as it has been shaped by its professional interpreters as well as by political actors, the media and the public. The main intuition is that “constitution” is not only a written document, a text with a predefined, though maybe hidden meaning; instead, it is a social practice evolving over time and thereby reflecting the shared convictions of a political community of what is just and right. Talking about constitutional expectations toward immigrants then also tells us something about ourselves: about who we are and what kind of community we want to live in. As it turns out, we may not have a very clear idea of that.

This article aims to outline the positive assessments made by the public, through the service of the Catalan Women’s Institute (ICD) on speeches containing media representations of gender. It is a way to illustrate how the products of cultural industries are part of the audience’s social imaginary and how it is able to identify and assess constructive representations of gender. The media and audience as agents of social change suggest ways of teaching on gender issues. Finally, the text encourages us to think about the possibility of creating and enhancing educational strategies to form a critical audience that generates proposals, guidelines, a discourse on gender according to social reality.Este trabajo tiene como objetivo describir las valoraciones positivas realizadas por la ciudadanía a través del servicio del Instituto Catalán de las Mujeres (ICD) sobre los discursos mediáticos que contienen representaciones de género. Es una forma de ilustrar cómo los productos de las industrias culturales forman parte del imaginario social de la audiencia y cómo ésta es capaz de identificar, valorar, las representaciones constructivas de género. Los medios de comunicación y la audiencia como agentes sociales de cambio sugieren vías pedagógicas sobre cuestiones de género. Finalmente, el texto nos anima a pensar en la posibilidad de crear y potenciar estrategias educativas para formar una audiencia crítica que genere propuestas, pautas, sobre un discurso de género acorde a la realidad social.

Background:The United Nations, WHO and the World Bank have called the current prevalence rate of neuro-psychiatric disorder approaches of 1 in 4 individuals worldwide and ‘unheralded public health crisis’. Rates are driven by an early onset, high impairment and high chronicity of these disorders. Most importantly, detection and treatment rates are low, estimated at les than 10% worldwide resulting in 500 million people underserved. The related economic costs soared in 1999 to 120 billion dollars in Europe and North America, with over 60 billion dollars assigned to stress related disorders. Contributing factors are bio-psycho-social and include rapid social change as well as the time compression of modern life resulting in the experience of increased work-life stress that parallels a decade long intensification of activities in the workplace. Coping with the requirements of the new economy of mental performance has lagged behind at many individual and social levels as we cling to adjustments made during the industrial economy of the last century. A climate of transition, and more recently, terror and fear have stressed the landscape of mental health and work already ravaged by the destructive forces of stigma.Aim:This presentation will examine the other side of prosperity from the point of view of stress in the workplace as two global problems converge at this time in history, the escalation of neuro-psychiatric disorders and the increasing dependence on the mental faculties of the world's citizens.In this paper we also discuss how the international community can work together to help reduce the burden of mental disorders worldwide and sketch the implications for research and policy.Conclusions:Ultimately the media will need to be enlisted to educate the public on the value of investments in mental health.

En el artículo se analiza la opinión ciudadana sobre la imagen de las mujeres deportistas en relación con la de los hombres deportistas en el Territorio Histórico de Gipuzkoa (País Vasco, España). En los últimos años, se constata un avance significativo en la paridad de la práctica deportiva, con resultados positivos en términos de rendimiento deportivo de las mujeres deportistas. Sin embargo, los medios de comunicación siguen ofreciendo a menudo una imagen estereotipada de las mujeres deportistas reproducida luego en la opinión pública. El artículo muestra los resultados de una encuesta realizada a la población guipuzcoana sobre la visibilidad/invisibilidad de las mujeres deportistas y los estereotipos asociados a su imagen. Los resultados indican que todavía, y a pesar de diferentes esfuerzos, las mujeres deportistas son poco visibles para la población. Tanto la notoriedad espontánea como la asistida de las mujeres deportistas es muy inferior a la de los hombres deportistas. La poca visibilidad se añade a otro problema, la perdurabilidad de los estereotipos. Se confirma la tendencia a incidir en cuestiones ligadas al aspecto físico, así como la atribución de diferentes valores según el sexo del deportista. A pesar de todo, se ha identificado una predisposición favorable hacia el consumo de deporte femenino o practicado por mujeres. En definitiva, se observan algunos pasos en la dirección hacia la paridad, pero el reto sigue aún vigente. The article analyzes the public opinion on the image of sportswomen in relation to that of sportsmen in the Historical Territory of Gipuzkoa (Basque Country, Spain). In recent years, there has been a significant advance in the parity of sports practice, with positive results in terms of sports performance of female athletes. However, the media often continue to offer a stereotypical image of female athletes later reproduced in public opinion. The article shows the results of a survey carried out among the Gipuzkoan population on the visibility / invisibility of sportswomen and the stereotypes associated with their image. The results indicate that still, and despite different efforts, female athletes are not very visible to the population. Both the spontaneous and assisted notoriety of female athletes is much lower than that of male athletes. Low visibility adds to another problem, the persistence of stereotypes. The tendency to influence issues related to physical appearance is confirmed, as well as the attribution of different values according to the athlete's sex. Despite everything, a favorable predisposition towards the consumption of sports by women or practiced by women has been identified. In short, there are some steps towards parity, but the challenge remains. O artigo analisa a opinião pública sobre a imagem das esportistas mulehres em relação à dos esportistas homens no Território Histórico de Gipuzkoa (País Basco, Espanha). Nos últimos anos, houve um avanço significativo na paridade da prática esportiva, com resultados positivos no desempenho esportivo das atletas do sexo feminino. No entanto, a mídia muitas vezes continua a oferecer uma imagem estereotipada de atletas femininas posteriormente reproduzida na opinião pública. O artigo apresenta os resultados de uma pesquisa realizada junto à população gipuzkoana sobre a visibilidade / invisibilidade das esportistas e os estereótipos associados à sua imagem. Os resultados indicam que ainda, e apesar dos esforços diferenciados, as atletas femininas não são muito visíveis para a população. Tanto a notoriedade espontânea quanto a assistida de atletas do sexo feminino é muito menor do que a dos atletas do sexo masculino. A baixa visibilidade aumenta outro problema, a persistência de estereótipos. Confirma-se a tendência de influenciar questões relacionadas à aparência física, bem como a atribuição de valores diferenciados de acordo com o sexo do atleta. Apesar de tudo, identificou-se uma predisposição favorável ao consumo de esportes por mulheres ou praticados por mulheres. Em suma, existem alguns passos em direção à paridade, mas o desafio ainda está em vigor.

Resumen: Las declaraciones efectuadas en los últimos años por los diputados del Partido Popular Pablo Casado y Rafael Hernando tratando de menospreciar, cuando no de insultar, a las víctimas del franquismo, han levantado ampollas en la red social Twitter. En el presente artículo vamos a tratar de estudiar estas declaraciones, sobre todo las vertidas en las redes a través de los medios de comunicación y las correspondientes reacciones que han suscitado entre los usuarios de esta red social. El tratamiento va a ser eminentemente periodístico y pretende abarcar dos grandes campos. El primero partiría del supuesto de que las afirmaciones de los diputados pudieran considerarse opinión, por lo que trataríamos de confirmar tal hipótesis mediante la comprobación de los enunciados propios de este tipo de periodismo y su relación con otro campo limítrofe como es la manipulación. En el segundo campo de análisis trataríamos de delimitar las palabras de los dos políticos de acuerdo a las reglas de la información e interpretación periodísticas con el objetivo de comprobar si la información contenida en ellas se ajusta a la realidad, y de si la posible interpretación se efectúa utilizando unos criterios de actuación objetivos, o por el  contrario no se respeta ninguno de los pasos lógicos que deben guiar todo proceso interpretativo periodístico que pretenda ajustarse a unos mínimos estándares éticos. Naturalmente, la opinión es libre, y desde este punto de vista, y descendiendo a los casos concretos, es perfectamente legítimo manifestar que las víctimas no merecen ninguna subvención. Otra cosa es verter afirmaciones enmascaradas bajo esa supuesta libertad de opinión. Por ejemplo diciendo que los descendientes de las víctimas solo se han movido cuando ha habido subvenciones.Palabras clave: Partido Popular, Pablo Casado, Rafael Hernando, Twitter.Abstract: The statements made in recent years by deputies of the Popular Party Pablo Casado and Rafael Hernando trying to belittle, if not insult, the victims of Francoism, have raised blisters on the social network Twitter. In the present article, we will try to study these statements, especially those expressed in the networks through the media and the corresponding reactions that have aroused among the users of this social network. The treatment will be eminently journalistic and aims to cover two large fields. The first one assumes that the statements of the deputies could be considered opinion, so we try to confirm this hypothesis by checking the statements of this type of journalism and its relationship with a boundary field such as manipulation. In the second field of analysis we would try to delimit the words of the two politicians according to the rules of journalistic information and interpretation in order to verify if the information contained in them is true and if the possible interpretation is It does so using objective criteria of performance, or on the contrary, it does not respect any of the logical steps that should guide any journalistic interpretive process that tries to conform to some minimum ethical standards. Naturally, opinion is free, and from this point of view, and descending to concrete cases, it is perfectly legitimate to state that the victims do not deserve any subsidy. It is another thing to shed masked claims under that supposed freedom of opinion. For example, the descendants of the victims have only moved when there have been subsidies.Keywords: Partido Popular, Pablo Casado, Rafael Hernando, Twitter.
