Since ancient times, humans have conceived the language dad de lenguas como un castigo (aunque a mí no me lo parece) y diversity as a punishment (an idea I disagree with) and all the cultures en todas las culturas hay historias que tratan de explicarla. La Biblia, have myths which try to explain it. The Bible, for instance, that book por ejemplo, ese libro que sirve de referencia a mucha gente, habla which is a model for so many people, tells the story about the Tower de la torre de Babel: sus constructores quisieron hacerla tan alta of Babel: its builders wanted to make it so tall it could touch the sky que llegara hasta el cielo, pero Dios truncó sus planes haciendo but God dashed their plans by making each one of them speak que cada uno se expresara en una lengua distinta, de modo que different languages. As a consequence, they couldn’t understand los demás no lo entendían. La humanidad se ha pasado la vida each other. Humankind have spent almost all its History looking for buscando remedios para esto. Y Salamanca es uno de ellos. Nues- remedies for this. And Salamanca is one of them. Our poet tells so: tro poeta lo dice así: The people of Israel, in the holy lands of Senar, En tierras de Senar el pueblo de Israel Stopped being faithful to Yahveh, their omnipotent Lord. al su señor Yahveh dexó de serle fiel: They decided to build a tower, it would be very tall, quisieron fazer torre tan alta como Él. And God confused their languages, a great Babel was born! Dios confundió sus lenguas, armose gran Babel. The white-bearded God, many centuries later, Pasaron muchos siglos y el Dios de barba blanca resolved to put an end to his terrible anger al carro de su ira le puso al fin retranca: “May them be understandable, may their language be clearer; “Que vuelvan a entenderse en lengua limpia y franca; May Babel stop!” And Salamanca was created.

Whereas the literature on safety of journalists mainly discusses threats as part of armed conflicts, this article studies how other kinds of conflicts such as economic strangulation and the viability threat represent threats against journalists’ work and safety. It argues that acts of intimidation directed against journalists represent an attack on democracy itself as they have the effect of limiting the freedom of expression. The aim of this study is to explore how journalists operate in such a conflict and under such uncertainty, as an implication of (political) pressure caused by the politics of Memoranda in Greece, Cyprus, and Spain. The comparative analysis focuses on possible changes in the processes of message construction and in the journalistic practices of the participants, exploring if, how, and to what extent these changes were imposed to journalists directly or indirectly. Keywords European South; journalists; memorandum; safety; self-censorship; silence Issue This article is part of the issue “Rethinking Safety of Journalists” edited by Kristin Skare Orgeret (Oslo Metropolitan Univer- sity, Norway) and William Tayeebwa (University of Makerere, Uganda).

    Journalism For Peer Review https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/journalism Page 1 of 17 Journalism 1 2 3 The Prince and the Pauper: journalistic culture and 4 5 Paralympic Games in the Spanish Print Press 6 7 8 Abstract 9 10 The Paralympic Games are one of the world’s most important multisport events, maybe 11 second only to the Olympic Games. However, research conducted to date shows that the 12 media do not devote as much space to them as would accordingly be expected. This 13 article proposes, through a case study, a new way of approaching this hypothetical 14 discrimination by comparing the attention that the London Paralympic Games received 15 from the Spanish print press with the attention that other sports received (football, 16 basketball, tennis, cycling, motor sports and other minority sports) while those Games 17 were being held. The main finding of our study is that, over the period analysed, the 18 For Peer Review 19 Spanish press devoted less space to the Paralympic Games than to any other sport. 20 21 Keywords : Paralympic Games, journalism, sport, news values, content analysis 22 23 Introduction 24 25 The Paralympic Games are apparently one of the world’s most important multisport 26 events maybe second only to the Olympic Games (Pappous, Marcellini & Léséleuc, 27 28 2011b). An examination of the data on these mega-events is all that is needed to realise 29 this. A total of 204 countries and more than 10,500 athletes and 70,000 volunteers took 30 part in the last edition of the Olympic Games.

  • Food Products Such As Quince of a Modern Approach to Cooking
    01_AF_EDITORIAL.qxd 1/11/11 15:55 Página 1 T I D E If the Romantic travelers of the 19th century were to retrace their route through Spain today, would they still complain that it smells too much of garlic? Like it or not, Spain is one of the five main producers of garlic in the world, and in this issue we introduce you to the delights of a particular species, grown in the land of Don Quixote. Turrón is another thoroughly Spanish specialty; although other countries produce ersatz versions of it, the true, genuine article is certainly “made in Spain”. The turrón we know and love here, and eat particularly to celebrate Christmas and the New Year, is currently acquiring even more devotees as it conquers new horizons. A growing number of foreign visitors to Spain are showing an interest in gastronomic tourism. Many of our regions have a great deal to offer by way of wines and plenty of opportunities to sample them in situ and explore the local artistic and historical heritage in the process. One winegrowing region well worth making a detour to visit is Toro. Despite a name suggestive of another iconic symbol of Spain, Toro also stands for wines, and prestigious ones at that. As, indeed, does the Grandes Pagos de España association, whose member bodegueros (some of the biggest names in Spanish winegrowing) produce world-class estate wines. This first issue of 2012 also brings you a report on the selling power of design: we learn how certain brands (just a few examples—there are many more) achieved impressive growth in international sales by making design work for them.

  • Appetite for Innovation: the Mobilization of Change and Creativity at Elbulli
    Appetite for Innovation: The Mobilization of Change and Creativity at elBulli Maria Pilar Opazo Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2014 © 2014 Maria Pilar Opazo All rights reserved ABSTRACT Appetite for Innovation: The Mobilization of Change and Creativity at elBulli Maria Pilar Opazo This dissertation uses an organizational approach to examine how new ideas are mobilized in order to become radical innovations. I consider the case of elBulli, an avant-garde, three- Michelin star restaurant that has pioneered the “molecular” or “experimental” cuisine movement in the gastronomic field, to inductively study how innovation is made to work. Based on ethnographic data collected over a period of 16-months in Spain and in the United States, my research proposes that systematic and radical innovation is the result of concrete practices and collective efforts that enable new ideas and epistemic practices to be recognized, understood, and legitimated by the public. The research advances a new distinction in innovation studies between new final products and conceptual innovations and proposes that this distinction can contribute to clarify the dynamics behind the advancement of knowledge within a field. Also, I argue that this distinction can serve as a basis for the future development of a general framework of the different dimensions involved in the production of innovation. Throughout the research, I draw comparisons with different fields such as religion, politics, business, art and music to explore the potential applicability of the main insights obtained from my case study to illuminate innovation processes in general.
