This book offers a systematic study of media education in Latin America. As spending on technological infrastructure in the region increases exponentially for educational purposes, and with national curriculums beginning to implement media related skills, this book makes a timely contribution to new debates surrounding the significance of media literacy as a citizen’s right. Taking both a topical and country-based approach, authors from across Latin America present a comprehensive perspective of the region and address issues such as the political and social contexts in which media education is based, the current state of educational policies with respect to media, organizations and experiences that promote media education.

Si la sociedad de la comunicación global ha venido acompañada de promesas desmesuradas y de utopías todavía incumplidas, hoy día es obligatorio examinar y evaluar por qué ha sido así. Es ya un imperativo. No podemos, cuando la técnica es tan decisiva en nuestras vidas, abandonarnos a una confianza ciega en la tecnología, y tampoco la docilidad ante sus determinaciones puede seguir siendo nuestro comportamiento habitual. Se trataría, justamente, de lo contrario, de sustituir la confianza ciega por el espíritu crítico, reflexivo y metodológicamente científico, por un lado, y la docilidad por la autonomía de acción. Necesitamos, por tanto, desarrollar una actitud consciente, capaz de sopesar los efectos positivos y negativos de los cambios y, sobre todo, capaz de inspirar nuevos desarrollos técnicos y nuevos cursos de acción que se acomoden a las aspiraciones del ser humano.

Culture plays a significant role in regulating emotions and influencing the dissemination of education, particularly within diverse geographic locations. However, the impact of culture on emotional dynamics within educational settings is not well understood. This is particularly important within contexts of social and cultural diversity, where schools must navigate cultural and majority emotional dynamics. The aim of this research topic is to provide a comprehensive overview of the current state of the art in the field of emotional dynamics in education, with a particular focus on the ways in which culture mediates these dynamics. The topic will also explore the problems and solutions deployed within educational contexts of cultural diversity, with a specific emphasis on school/family and community interaction.

Public Policies in Media and Information Literacy in Europe explores the current tensions in European countries as they attempt to tackle the transition to the digital age, providing a comparative and cross-cultural analysis of Media and Information Literacy (MIL) across Europe. This book takes a long-term perspective over the development of media education in Europe, and includes an appraisal of media, information, computer and digital literacies as they coalesce and diverge in the public debate over twenty-first-century skills. The contributors assess the various definitions of media and information literacy as a composite notion whose evolution as a cross-cultural phenomenon reveals various trends and influences in Europe. Throughout, this volume offers an in-depth coverage of MIL with all the different dimensions of policy-making, from legal frameworks to training, funding, evaluation and good practices. The authors propose modeling current MIL governance trends in Europe and conclude with a call for alternative and collective frames of research that they hope will influence policy-makers and other stakeholders, especially in terms of MIL governance. This collection is ideal for students and researchers of MIL, as well as policy makers, educators and associations interested in MIL in the digital age.
