Has de pregar que el camí sigui llarg, Més lluny, sempre aneu més lluny, que siguin moltes les matinades més lluny de l'avui que ara us encadena. que entraràs en un port I quan sereu deslliurats que els teus ulls ignoraven, torneu a començar els nous passos. i vagis a ciutats Més lluny, sempre molt més lluny, per aprendre dels que saben. més lluny del demà que ara s'acosta. I quan creieu que arribeu, Tingues sempre al cor la idea d'Ítaca. sapigueu trobar noves sendes. Has d'arribar-hi, és el teu destí, Més lluny, sempre molt més lluny, però no forcis gens la travessia. més lluny del demà que ara ja s'acosta És preferible que duri molts anys, i, quan sereu deslliurats, que siguis vell quan fondegis l'illa, tingueu ben present no aturar-vos. ric de tot el que hauràs guanyat fent el camí, sense esperar Bon viatge per als guerrers que et doni més riqueses. que al seu poble són fidels, afavoreixi el Déu dels vents Ítaca t'ha donat el bell viatge, el velam del seu vaixell, sense ella no hauries sortit. i malgrat llur vell combat I si la trobes pobra, no és que Ítaca tinguin plaer dels cossos més amants. t'hagi enganyat. Savi, com bé t'has fet, Omplin xarxes de volguts estels sabràs el que volen dir les Ítaques. plens de ventures, plens de coneixences. AGRAÏMENTS 1. om diu el poema de Kavafis, musicat per Llach, el procés per completar aquesta tesi ha sigut sense cap mena de dubte “un camí llarg, ple C d’aventures i ple de coneixences”. Si els meus peus van xafar terra d’Ítaca per primer cop el dia que vaig complir els 31, avui crec que puc dir que he arribat per segon cop a l’illa. No ha sigut un camí senzill, ningú no va dir que ho seria, de fet, per aconseguir-ho ha calgut treballar molt i superats innumerables i enormes obstacles. Queda clar que, com deia Edison: el ingeni o l’èxit té un ú per cent d’inspiració i un noranta nou per cent de transpiració, és a dir, suar. I és que una de les coses que més clares m’han quedat al llarg d’aquests anys és que fer una tesi doctoral és un camí personal... que ningú farà per tu. Però també, que és un camí que no es fa sol. De fet, dur a terme aquesta tesi doctoral no hagués estat possible sense l‘ajuda tant professional com personal i emocional d’un conjunt de persones i institucions a les que m’agradaria citar i reconèixer en aquest punt. En primer lloc, m’agradaria iniciar els agraïments pels meus dos codirectors: el Dr. Pedro Rodríguez de la Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya i el Dr. Enrique Belenguer de la Universitat Jaume I de Castelló. Quique i Pedro o Pedro i Quique, vosaltres sous els principals responsables tant de l’inici d’aquest viatge com del fet que haja arribat a bon port. Gracies Quique, moltes gracies per haver-me mostrat un camí a la vida allà per l’any 2003 i haver-me ajudat a remar al llarg de tots i Agraïments cadascun d’aquests anys. Gracies Pedro, moltes gracies a tu també per haver-me permès formar part del teu grup de recerca, lloc on he pogut desenvolupar i completar aquesta tesi. Gracies per ajudar-me a retrobar el camí oferint-me tota mena d’informació, ajuda i recursos. Si Quique ha estat les veles, tu has estat el vent. En segon lloc, vull donar les gracies a tots aquells que d’una manera o altra, en major o menor mesura, heu ajudat a donar forma i contingut a aquest document. Entre vosaltres, m’agradaria destacar: a Nico, per la teua inestimable ajuda en aquells durs inicis en que va caler tractar tantes dades; a Barthe, per les teues interessantíssimes pinzellades sobre venda d’electricitat; a Nacho Peña, per tindre sempre un moment per tirar un cable i resoldre eixe dubte; a Emilio, perquè la teua inestimable ajuda final m’ha permès donar-li cos a aquest treball, sense tu, aquesta tesi no seria ni la meitat del que és; a Néstor, per ser l’inseparable company de fatigues a qui no cal explicar res d’aquest procés, veritat que m’entens, Nestor?; a Fran, pels teus sempre savis consells tant sobre word... com sobre tantes altres coses; a Leo i a Lola, pels vostres ànims, pel vostre entusiasme i per llegir eixes pàgines amb el que tant m’heu aportat; a Guti, pels seu “Jazz” que, havent arribat en un moment molt important per a mi, tanta companyia em van fer i m’han fet en les hores d’escriptura d’aquest document. En tercer lloc, voldria agrair a nivell d’institucions a l’Institut de Tecnologia de l’Energia d’Aalborg, i a la seua gent, per obrir-me les portes d’un lloc tan distingit (mange tak). Igualment, agrair als membres d’Ikerlan a Arrasate l’haver-me permès estar uns dies amb ells, dedicar-me tants recursos i temps i, sobretot, fer-me sentir un més entre vosaltres (Eskerrik asko). Fer record també de l’Institut de Tecnologia Elèctrica de València, on tot açò va començar, i on vaig passar dos meravellosos anys. Igualment, a la Fundació Balaguer-Gonel Hermanos de Castelló pel seu suport. Finalment, donar les gracies a la gent que forma el grup SEER a Terrassa, perquè vosaltres em vau ensenyar com es treballa per fer una tesi.

  • Media Technology and Society
    MEDIA TECHNOLOGY AND SOCIETY Media Technology and Society offers a comprehensive account of the history of communications technologies, from the telegraph to the Internet. Winston argues that the development of new media, from the telephone to computers, satellite, camcorders and CD-ROM, is the product of a constant play-off between social necessity and suppression: the unwritten ‘law’ by which new technologies are introduced into society. Winston’s fascinating account challenges the concept of a ‘revolution’ in communications technology by highlighting the long histories of such developments. The fax was introduced in 1847. The idea of television was patented in 1884. Digitalisation was demonstrated in 1938. Even the concept of the ‘web’ dates back to 1945. Winston examines why some prototypes are abandoned, and why many ‘inventions’ are created simultaneously by innovators unaware of each other’s existence, and shows how new industries develop around these inventions, providing media products for a mass audience. Challenging the popular myth of a present-day ‘Information Revolution’, Media Technology and Society is essential reading for anyone interested in the social impact of technological change. Brian Winston is Head of the School of Communication, Design and Media at the University of Westminster. He has been Dean of the College of Communications at the Pennsylvania State University, Chair of Cinema Studies at New York University and Founding Research Director of the Glasgow University Media Group. His books include Claiming the Real (1995). As a television professional, he has worked on World in Action and has an Emmy for documentary script-writing.

  • Branding of Business
    Updated 8th July 2004 Geoff Stuart The Branding of Business Tracing the extraordinary history of the World’s Greatest Entrepreneurs, Companies, Corporations and Brands. INTRODUCTION Michael, my son started pointing out the window as we were driving and saying “ ee ai, ee ai”, and repeating the sounds. He was less than a year old. At first I couldn’t work it out. “ Ee ai”, what was that? There he was sitting in the back seat of the car in his baby seat, saying “ ee ai”, not “Dad”, “Daddy”, “Da, Da ”, or even “Mummy”! It wasn’t just a gurgle, it was a definite word and he was pointing! And then I got it! There was a McDonalds sign, and he was pointing right at it! He had connected the Nursery Rhyme “Old McDonald had a Farm, ee ai, ee ai, oh “ to McDonalds Restaurants! His very first word was McDonalds, all be it said in Baby talk! Luckily his vocabulary has expanded a lot since then, but his very first word was a brand! As a father I felt cheated that he was saying “McDonalds” before I got a mention, but as a Marketing person, I took it as a sign that brands could have enormous cut through, not just as words but as images as well. So, what was it that made him connect to “McDonalds”? Was it the ads on TV, the Golden Arches, Ronald McDonald or McDonalds colours or combinations of all of these or simply the connection with the word McDonalds from the Nursery Rhyme? Whatever it was, the brand image was very powerful.
