XX - July 2017 QUADERNS ISSN (online): 2014-2242 / www.cac.cat DEL CAC Introduction We present the latest issue of Quaderns del CAC, this time devoted to diversity in cultural industries. The articles focusing on radio and OTT services in the last two issues have revealed the extent of the changes currently occurring in communication systems that affect how the cultural industry's goods and services are produced, distributed, consumed and monetised. All these changes raise a lot of questions about the consequences for diversity. In spite of being a recurring theme in political and academic discussion, the concept per se is still highly polysemic, although everyone accepts that it plays a crucial role in public policy. Obviously there is no consensus on the orientation of such policies since, apart from the shared general principles, there are many conflicts of interest between the different parties involved in the cultural and communication industries. Thanks to the guidelines provided by UNESCO’s Universal Declaration on Cultural Diversity (2001) and its Convention on the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions (2005), it is now easier for countries to establish policies to guarantee diversity. However, the huge risks and challenges resulting from the current changes mean that today’s situation is far from ideal. The aim of these Quaderns del CAC is to help explore this complex issue by inviting relevant studies. We have benefited from the advice of two eminent specialists in the field, Professor María Trinidad García Leiva and Professor Luis A. Albornoz, who have helped us to define the area of study and focus our attention. They are also our guest writers in this issue, although by express request their article has been submitted, as all the others, to a blind peer review. María Trinidad García Leiva and Luís A. Albornoz begin the monographic section with Cultural industries and diversity: old debates and new challenges, providing a framework for the central theme of this issue. They analyse the key role of the concept of diversity in cultural industries. This contribution helps to interpret challenges faced today when establishing public policy in the field of cultural goods and services transformed by digitalisation, without losing sight of the history of discussion regarding the role of the state in culture and communication. Katharina Hoelck and Heritiana Ranaivoson, in their study Threat or opportunity? Cultural diversity in the era of digital platforms in the EU, tackle one of the main concerns resulting from digitalisation, namely the effect of over-the-top (OTT) platforms on the diversity of cultural goods in Europe, as well as providing recommendations to protect diversity given the changes occurring in the value chain. Jacques Guyot, in his work entitled The 2005 UNESCO Convention or the lack of thought concerning linguistic diversity, focuses on linguistic diversity in the 2005 UNESCO Convention. He explores the way in which this issue is addressed,

D'aquesta manera, la televisió pública de Catalunya té en aquest moment un impacte social majoritari i preferent, és líder en els rànquings d'audiències qualitatius i quantitatius, és motor del sector, cultiu de talent i innovació en la petita, mitjana i gran empresa i impulsa les nostres indústries culturals cinema, documental, animació, donant visibilitat de la seva obra, i expressió de la nostra cultura popular i emergent. TVC és, a més, garantia de la creació de referents col·lectius propis i de prestigi, cohesió social i transmissió de valors constructius amb criteris de qualitat i rigor ètic i plural, amb una forta capacitat de mobilització i sensibilització col·lectiva. La televisió pública catalana se situa, alhora, com a mirall de l'existència d'una realitat sociopolítica, econòmica, cultural, geogràfica, que sense la seva potència seria irrellevant i en molts casos desconeguda. Per això és cabdal el rol de TVC com a expressió de la indústria catalana a través dels seus continguts econòmics i publicitaris.

Concretamente, las televisiones de ámbito autonómico vienen operando como espacios de reutilización de diferentes títulos que en su momento fueron estrenados en las grandes cadenas nacionales, pero ahora, por su costo y la fragmentación de audiencias se instalan en estas televisoras. El estudio realizado entre los años 2008 y 2010 constata la presencia de 40 títulos que son analizados según sus rasgos de contenido, horas de emisión y franja horaria donde son insertados. Se definen además las marcas retóricas dominantes de este tipo de discursos de exportación y sus perspectivas comerciales de cara a los próximos años, en un escenario de ardua competencia y determinado por los ajustes de la televisión digital y las nuevas pantallas como Internet.

  • El Rocío: a Case Study of Music and Ritual in Andalucía

    El Rocío: a Case Study of Music and Ritual in Andalucía

    ABSTRACT Title of Document: EL ROCÍO: A CASE STUDY OF MUSIC AND RITUAL IN ANDALUCÍA W. Gerard Poole, Ph.D., 2007 Dissertation directed by: Dr. Carolina Robertson, Department of Ethnomusicology Music is central to the processional pilgrimage of El Rocío, which attracts hundreds of thousands of pilgrims to Andalusia, Spain, late each spring. The pilgrimage affords a unique view, in microcosm, of the relationships between music and ritual from both ritual-studies and ethnomusicological perspectives. Based on extensive fieldwork and other research, this dissertation explores the nexus of the Catholic ritual system in Andalusia, flamenco, and the specific music of El Rocío: the Sevillanas Rocieras. That nexus becomes clear through exploration of three particular features of the pilgrimage: (1) the devotional processions that generate a single, focused, collective emotion; (2) the Andalusian musical form called the palo; and (3) the informal musical gatherings called juergas, which take place nightly along the route. Analysis of structural and morphological relationships between ritual, music, and emotion yields surprising realizations about how these three elements come together as embodied aesthetics within a communitas to generate popular culture. Another important finding of this work is the necessity of placing, at the center of the inquiry, the religious experience—including the curious Andalusian phenomenon of the “chaotic” emotional procession and its role within the overall pilgrimage and ritual system. The dissertation concludes with two theoretical positions. The first addresses the process of “emotional structuring” and its role within the musical rituals of El Rocío and, by extension, Andalusia. The second advances a theory of ritual relations with potential application to ritual systems beyond Andalusia.

OF DEGREE PROGRAMME: School of Arts and Cultures. SCHOOL: Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences. Newcastle University. SUPERVISOR: Dr. Nanette De Jong / Dr. Ian Biddle WORD COUNT: 82.794 FIRST SUBMISSION (VIVA): March 2011 FINAL SUBMISSION (TWO HARD COPIES): November 2011 Abstract: This thesis consists of four chapters, an introduction and a conclusion. It asks the question as to how contemporary guitarists have negotiated the relationship between tradition and modernity. In particular, the thesis uses primary fieldwork materials to question some of the assumptions made in more ‘literary’ approaches to flamenco of so-called flamencología . In particular, the thesis critiques attitudes to so-called flamenco authenticity in that tradition by bringing the voices of contemporary guitarists to bear on questions of belonging, home, and displacement. The conclusion, drawing on the author’s own experiences of playing and teaching flamenco in the North East of England, examines some of the ways in which flamenco can generate new and lasting communities of affiliation to the flamenco tradition and aesthetic.

    2Q 2021 This Presentation makes reference to certain non-IFRS measures. These non-IFRS measures are not recognized measures under IFRS, do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. These measures are provided as additional information to complement IFRS measures by providing further understanding of TV Azteca, S.A.B de C.V.´s (“TV Azteca”, “Azteca” or the “Company”) results of operations from a management perspective. Accordingly, they should not be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for analysis of TV Azteca's financial information reported under IFRS. Forward-Looking Statements This Presentation contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward- looking statements can be identified by words such as: “anticipate,” “plan,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “strategy,” “should,” “will,” “seek,” “forecast,” and similar references to future periods. Examples of forward-looking statements include, among others, statements concerning the Company’s business outlook, future economic performance, anticipated profitability, revenues, expenses, or other financial items, market share, market growth rates, market demand, product or services growth. Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance. Instead, they are estimates that reflect the best judgment of TV Azteca’s management based on currently available information. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they involve a number of risks, uncertainties and other factors that are outside of its control and could cause actual results to differ materially from those stated in such statements.
