“…Although many authors, such as Santos (2007), argued that globalization would end the polarization of societies, the truth is, this behavior is being reinforced. This can be seen in political actions such as Brexit, or the search for the Catalan split in Spain, and other protectionist measures (Meneses et al , 2018; Gómez-García et al , 2019).…”

Purpose This study aims to review the theory based on «otherness» as a form of social exclusion and symbolic violence from the constructions of realities of the media, with particular emphasis on the ethics and aesthetics of language and its role in materializing identity differences. Design/methodology/approach A search for specific criteria and boolean algorithms is carried out in Web of Science and Scopus on «otherness» [AND] «social exclusion», to then submit the emerging results to a co-occurrence matrix by citations with VOSViewer v. 1.6.13. From the relation tree of the most cited documents [min = 7] of the downloaded articles, a critical/analytical reading is made. Findings «Otherness» is reviewed to a greater extent from a Western perspective, and more specifically, from a Eurocentric one. This implies that the study of «otherness» is not sufficiently analyzed by Asian or African authors, who are excluded from the analysis. In this sense, «otherness» is understood as a theoretical construct and as any symbolic construction of the other (phenotypically, but also in ideology, values and customs), but which carries a load of stereotypes that can become polarization, demonization, ergo and violence. Originality/value Revisiting «otherness» as an informative construct becomes imperative in light of the emergence of extremist groups and xenophobic parties, as well as separatist policies such as Brexit or the Catalan split in Spain. Few articles contribute to elaborating a complete conceptual construct on «otherness» as an epistemological category of communication and information, so this research effort attempts to compile its theoretical discussion.

“…To achieve this, we take the "ludification of culture" (Raessens 2014) as a starting point for the different ways to achieve the so-called "pop politics" (Mazzoleni and Sfardini 2009) and its transmedial narration (Durántez-Stolle and Martínez-Sanz 2019). These factors contribute to the transfer of interest from the spectacularization of political activities to the development of new mobile applications (Shankland 2008;Tau 2012;Vázquez-Sande 2016;Gómez-García et al 2019;Navarro-Sierra and Quevedo-Redondo 2020;Zamora-Medina et al 2020;Cervi and Marín-Lladó 2021).…”

This article analyzes the process of symbolic and critical-discursive construction of applications developed for mobile devices for some of the world’s most important heads of state through their manifestation in the ecosystem of mobile applications for iOS and Android. The sample includes 233 applications of 45 politicians from 37 countries. A content analysis-based method was applied to the discourse of these apps and users’ comments. The results reveal the dominant discourses in this scenario and identify the characteristics that influence their popularity, the influence of viral content and their reception in the connection between the mobile ecosystem and the political sphere. The discourse on the apps reveals a commercial interest and the existence of a diffuse diffusion of political commitment in terms of entertainment, parody and virality.

“…El cruce de caminos entre la comunicación política, la viralidad y el humor en el escenario digital ha ido incrementándose a lo largo del tiempo (Highfield, 2016;Gómez-García et al, 2019). La proliferación de canales que privilegian el uso de la parodia, el contenido sarcástico, gifs, memes o otros contenidos burlescos, los ha convertido en un elemento fundamental no sólo del debate político contemporáneo, también de un…”

Resumo En el contexto del politainment online , el recurso de los memes políticos como fórmula humorística y creativa para configurar la imagen política se ha convertido en una práctica cada vez más habitual en las campañas electorales. Especialmente con motivo de la celebración de debates electorales, la difusión de memes políticos en redes sociales ha acaparado el interés de los académicos. Este artículo toma en consideración las taxonomías establecidas sobre los tipos de memes políticos y analiza su capacidad persuasiva. En concreto, la investigación incluye un análisis cuantitativo de los principales memes difundidos en Twitter durante los dos debates electorales que tuvieron lugar en la campaña electoral de 2019 en España: 4N y 7N. El estudio está fundamentado en la perspectiva del framing integrado (textual-visual) y se sustenta sobre el estudio del poder persuasivo de los memes basado en la importancia de cada uno de los elementos de la retórica ( pathos, ethos y logos ) con el objetivo de analizar, asimismo, las consecuencias sobre su viralidad y repercusión en la audiencia social.
