All societies moving towards peace must establish reparation measures for victims of political violence. That is not an easy task, though: political victimhood is a controversial concept by itself and all victims of this type are mixed up with general politics from both the past and the present. In divided societies, such as the North of Ireland and the Basque Country, the controversies about the definition of political victimhood reproduce old divisions from the past. Drawing from these two cases, this research project gathers some initial thoughts to conceptualise political victimhood into three different models: the harm, blame and context-based models. The primary contribution of the article lies in the formulation of the third model, the context-based framework.
Este artículo presenta algunas claves de la situación actual del periodismo reposado digital o digital slow journalism (SJ) en el contexto colombiano. Para ello, analiza los resultados de una investigación sobre audiencias y estudia la óptica de medios encuadrados en esta corriente periodística. El artículo pone en común, por un lado, los resultados de una encuesta dirigida a la población colombiana realizada en julio de 2019 y cuyo objeto fue conocer las opiniones y hábitos de consumo del periodismo reposado. Destaca, entre sus resultados, el elevado conocimiento que existe en el país con respecto a la prensa narrativa. De hecho, el 56 % de los lectores de prensa digital colombianos ha accedido alguna vez a ella. Por otro lado, al mismo tiempo, el estudio contrasta los intereses, percepciones y demandas del público con la respuesta dada por dos medios de SJ colombianos, Arcadia y La Silla Vacía, a través de un estudio cualitativo y comparado. La principal conclusión es que los lectores colombianos valoran este tipo de periodismo (le otorgan una calificación de 4 puntos sobre 5) y hay un 58 % de lectores que se manifiesta dispuesto a pagar por su plus de calidad. A pesar de los problemas de financiación a los que se enfrentan estos medios, la investigación vislumbra un nicho de mercado creciente para el SJ en Colombia.
Each March in Orihuela in the province of Valencia, Spain, there is a festival of mural painting in honour of local poet Miguel Hernández. For long the poet, who died in a fascist jail in 1942, had been publicly unacknowledged, but now his life, his work and his political involvement as a Republican political activist are openly displayed. How Hernández is remembered provides a powerful example of the struggles between memory and forgetting in post-Franco Spain. Faced with the contradiction of a Pact of Forgetting in 1977 and a Historical Memory Law in 2007, memory in Spain has to be carefully exhumed from under layers of fascist policies and culture.
