<p>Given the growing unwanted social stages such as the abandonment of human beings and the growing social passivity to help them, the objective was established to design and implement a socio-training program of audiovisual workshops transmitted through videoconferences, based on the Solidarity Learning and Service methodology, to strengthen low citizen competence. present in 36% of students at a private Peruvian university. Under a mixed approach, in a sample of 815 students from cycles I, II and III, the program obtained positive results by generating deep introspection, as well as clear commitments in the participants<em>.</em></p>Mariela Liliana Ramos-SantamaíaCristian Augusto Jurado-Fernández Luis Roger Ruben Zapatel-ArriagaJuan Pablo Moreno-Muro

https://visualcompublications.es/revVISUAL/article/view/5173
<p>Television continues to be an information source of very notable social significance. Through it and thanks to its mediating role between the political sphere and citizens, a large part of them build or support their ideas about public debates. Among all the possible news topics, television news programs select some (agenda) for treatment and dissemination in a certain way (framing and bias). We analyze here the differences, through content analysis, between the main Spanish state television news programs in relation to two relevant news events. We conclude that there are significant differences between the work of each channel and that the editorial lines of the respective channels (Antena 3 and Telecinco, conservative line; TVE and La Sexta, progressive line) determine their informative approaches to the news events studied.</p>Joaquín Sotelo

https://visualcompublications.es/revVISUAL/article/view/5174
<p>The aim of this article is to determine the modifications that the audiovisual projection screen introduces in the temporal component of the video-scenic work. The methodological design links presuppositions of the Theatrical Theory and the Theory of Audiovisual Narration and resorts to the dramatological analysis model to approach concrete video-scenic plays. The introduction of the audiovisual screen implies an extension of the temporal flexibility of the drama, producing an expansion of the represented time through a multifocalized discourse, specific to the temporal system of the video-scenic play.</p>Gustavo Montes RodríguezVicente Sanz de LeónSaida Santana Mahmut

https://visualcompublications.es/revVISUAL/article/view/4227
<p>Software development has influenced cultural products for years, and documentaries have not been an exception in this revolution. From non-linear and interactive webdocs to participatory, co-created, and transmedia projects, the documen-tary genre has given rise to diverse narrative structures. We analyze how webdocs have devel-oped different strategies when integrating data visualization into their narratives and interfaces. Multimedia content and data visualizations have been gaining prominence over film, and projects that don't use video have been considered docu-mentaries. This has given rise to what we consider the germ of a new genre and a new set of narrative structures.</p>Andrea López-LozanoVíctor Herrero-SolanaDomingo Sánchez-Mesa Martínez

https://visualcompublications.es/revVISUAL/article/view/5176
<p>This paper analyzes two performances of the Eurovision Song Contest which correspond to the Polish and Czech entries in the 2014 and 2023 editions of the show respectively. In its musical and staging proposal, both of them stir up a debate on Slavic feminine identity since two opposed perspectives. Moreover, these performances coincide with two critical historical moments in Slavic ambit due to the expansionist and identity policies of Kremlin. This research compares how the concepts of sorority and Pan-Slavism are represented from its own actors (in this case, the Slavic women) in the field of media events.</p>José Luis PaneaJosé Patricio Pérez-Rufí

https://visualcompublications.es/revVISUAL/article/view/5177
<p>Social networks are part of young people's personal growth and development. Their consultation and presence on them is no longer an option but a necessity. In this article we analyse the perception that young Spaniards have of the factors that motivate them to choose the profiles they follow on social networks and the trust they place in the content they publish. We surveyed 935 young people aged between 16 and 25, the results of which were supplemented by three focus groups. Among the results obtained, it is worth highlighting the lack of importance they attach to the recommendations of their contacts and the lack of intentionality in choosing profiles. Young people show a strong distrust of the content published on networks, including that of experts, because networks allow them to choose and give their opinion on any subject, regardless of their knowledge.</p>Leire Gómez RubioNereida López Vidales

https://visualcompublications.es/revVISUAL/article/view/5183
<p>The first contribution of the article is the delimitation of the fictional format of an animated series, Spider-Man (1994-1998), a procedural series with serial aspects. The second novelty is of a methodological nature, as it adds to the study of the format the mimesis of world, the object of study of the hermeneutics of possible worlds. In this way, it is understood that the recurring narrative elements in a series not only respond to production factors but also constitute the regularities that suggest the order and meaning of both the socially instituted world in the plot and the personal world of the protagonist.</p>Arturo Encinas CantalapiedraRodrigo Miguel Morgado Gonçalves

https://visualcompublications.es/revVISUAL/article/view/5135
<p>In recent years, various studies have been developed regarding academic performance related to self-esteem, cognitive commitment, motivation, among others. However, there is still a limitation in works that analyze to what extent study habits function as mediating factors of academic performance in students. This work aimed to determine to what extent study habits explain academic performance in university students in northern Peru.</p>Alberto Remaycuna-VasquezGilberto Carrión-BarcoLuz Angelica Atoche-SilvaOscar Manuel Vela-MirandaVíctor Eduardo Horna-CalderónFátima Rosalía Espinoza-PorrasFiorela Anaí Fernández-Otoya

https://visualcompublications.es/revVISUAL/article/view/5180
<p>General Franco, from the moment he became head of state in the midst of the Spanish Civil War, developed mechanisms for legitimising and constructing his personal image and that of his political regime. Sport was one of his favourite tools to mobilise and unite a broken and fractured society that survived the post-war period and Spain`s international isolation in precarious conditions.</p> <p> </p>Victorino Lopez Iglesias

https://visualcompublications.es/revVISUAL/article/view/5181
<p>The global economic crisis, the problems generated by climate change, the growth of poverty, the decrease in water and food resources, health problems, among others, affect the world population. Since the crises, innovation is one of the areas that has to be promoted from university classrooms. The research was developed within a quantitative approach with pre-experimental design and proposes to determine the influence of the development of Internet of Things (IoT) modules on the innovation culture of students at the National University of Education (UNE). Information was obtained from 62 students of the Telecommunications and Informatics professional career. The results show that the application of the Internet of Things course significantly affects the values, behaviors, climate, resources, processes and results of the culture of innovation.</p>Bernardo Clímaco Hermitaño-AtencioMartin William Ortiz-Vergara Grimaldo Wilfredo Buleje-Agüero Juan Manuel Torres-CalixtroVidal Cristian García-Rojas

<p>Social networks allow us to trace a self-management of the image with a high self-referential intention. This research analyses the digital identity of the actress Emma Watson through her visual narrative on the social network Instagram. Based on an empirical and longitudinal methodology, an exploratory study is designed to analyse the attention metrics and the images published by the actress, in order to analyse the different stages of her visual discourse and find out if there is a relationship between her aesthetics and the engagement rate produced from it.</p>Patricia Martín MatasÍngrid Gil

<p style="font-weight: 400;">The aim of this article is to explore the convergence between Félix Guattari's ecosophical perspective, Robert Filliou's theories, and the eco-artivist approaches of Transnational Temps, fostering interdisciplinary dialogue in the context of new telecommunications technologies. Through critical analysis of their works and theories, and supported by original and unpublished interviews with members of Transnational Temps, this study shows how the intersection of these ideas promotes an interconnected future where everyday activism through art and creativity offers a vision of a more conscious and harmonious alternative society.</p>Elena López MartínBorja Morgado Aguirre
