Treated as a social outcast or a moral perverse, she has walked alone through centuries of human knowledge. Who are those women? Why are they prostitutes? These and similar questions have inspired innumerable answers that have fed the idea that prostitutes compound a separate class of women. They have been studied as voiceless figures who can be rightly attacked or marginalised by the “respectable” members of society.

  • CORPORATE PRESSURES on MEDIA: the Case of a Chilean Sports Outlet
    Claudia Lagos Lira DOSSIER CORPORATE PRESSURES ON MEDIA: the case of a Chilean sports outlet Copyright © 2015 SBPjor / Associação CLAUDIA LAGOS LIRA Brasileira de Pesquisa- Universidad de Chile, Santiago de Chile, Chile dores em Jornalismo ABSTRACT - The purpose of the paper is to analyze how corporate interests shape the Chilean media system as well as journalistic performance. The implications for democracy are discussed. This article uses a case study approach to show how corporate interests operate concretely on media to strengthen private interests instead of public ones. The article suggests that Chilean journalism is shaped mostly on a neoliberal frame, playing a collaborative role in order not to disturb the business environment because it creates employment and national economic growth. Secondly, the paper explores the case, which is analyzed within a development journalism approach following a broader public discourse about the development requirements for Chile. Indeed, journalism, corporations, and the economic sphere are strongly related despite the tensions and stresses of recent years in the Chilean media system. Keywords: Corporate censorship. Chile media system. Market-driven journalism. PRESSÕES CORPORATIVAS SOBRE A MÍDIA: o caso de um canal esportivo chileno RESUMO - O objetivo deste artigo é analisar como os interesses das empresas moldam o sistema de mídia no Chile e a prática do jornalismo. As implicações para a democracia também são consideradas. Este artigo emprega um estudo de caso para mostrar como os interesses das empresas operam especificamente sobre formas de fortalecer os interesses privados em vez de públicos. O artigo sugere que o jornalismo chileno é formado principalmente por um quadro neoliberal, desempenhando um papel colaborativo para não prejudicar o ambiente de negócios, pois gera empregos e crescimento econômico para o país.

  • Por Parte De Penguin Random House. Cientos De Autores Bajo El Mismo Sello, El Más Grande Del Mundo
    A mediados de marzo, finalmente se produjo la compra de Santillana (del grupo PRISA) por parte de Penguin Random House. Cientos de autores bajo el mismo sello, el más grande del mundo. ¿Hasta dónde puede llegar el proceso de concentración de editoriales? ¿Se trata de un fenómeno nuevo?; ¿Cómo afectará a las pequeñas editoriales locales? Daniela Szpilbarg responde estas preguntas en un nuevo ensayo de Anfibia. Recuerdo haber leído hace tiempo un artículo de título impactante: “Nace la mayor editorial del mundo”. Allí se adelantaba la fusión de medios más grande de Europa, Bertelsmann -presente en 63 países- y la empresa británica Pearson. De esa unión, concretada en julio de 2013, nació la editorial Penguin Random House (PRH). En aquel momento, la editorial resultante ostentaba cifras ya impresionantes: más de 10.000 empleados, 260 sellos editoriales, 16.000 títulos publicados al año y un catálogo con numerosos premios Nobel. A mediados de marzo, lectores, autores y editores se sobresaltaron por la noticia de la compra de Santillana (del grupo PRISA), por parte de Penguin Random House. El cronista Jordi Carrion, por ejemplo, se alarmaba en su Facebook: “Dentro de cinco años sólo habrá dos opciones editoriales: —¿Tu libro en qué sello sale? —En RandomPlanetaAlfaguaraHouseFeltrinelliContextoMondadori. ¿Y el tuyo? —AutoAmazon”. Vale ahondar en las implicancias de esta transacción. Recordemos que la red de la multinacional PRH ya gestionaba sellos como Sudamericana, Mondadori, Plaza & Janes, Lumen, Debate y Grijalbo. Con esta última compra, se hizo también dueña de los sellos literarios Alfaguara, Taurus, Aguilar y varios otros, incluidos los pertenecientes a Santillana en Brasil: a partir de ahora no sólo dominará el espacio literario en español sino también el portugués.

    Interview: Bill Brown (Surveillance Camera Players) Extraido de ZEMOS98 http://www.zemos98.org Interview: Bill Brown (Surveillance Camera Players) - English - Publicado el Miércoles 28 de noviembre de 2007 ZEMOS98 Creative Commons BY 2.5 EspañaZEMOS98 Página 1/6 Interview: Bill Brown (Surveillance Camera Players) Rubén Díaz: Does Room 101 exist? Bill Brown: Yes, its inside of our minds. 147. To start with, there are the techniques of surveillance. Hidden video cameras are now used in most stores and in many other places, computers are used to collect and process vast amounts of information about individuals. Information so obtained greatly increases the effectiveness of physical coercion (i.e., law enforcement). Then there are the methods of propaganda, for which the mass communication media provide effective vehicles. Efficient techniques have been developed for winning elections, selling products, influencing public opinion. The entertainment industry serves as an important psychological tool of the system, possibly even when it is dishing out large amounts of sex and violence. Entertainment provides modern man with an essential means of escape. While absorbed in television, videos, etc., he can forget stress, anxiety, frustration, dissatisfaction. Many primitive peoples, when they don't have work to do, are quite content to sit for hours at a time doing nothing at all, because they are at peace with themselves and their world. But most modern people must be constantly occupied or entertained, otherwise the get "bored," i.e., they get fidgety, uneasy, irritable. This is point 147 of The Unabomber Manifesto (1). The economist Steven D. Levitt tells the story of a white boy whose "parents read widely and involve themselves in school reform.
