Abstract

The increased cultural activity in Peru within the last years requires a media complement that contributes to advance in this sector and educate the public.

In that sense, to address such issues information professionals require a constant preparation and a high sense of ethics so they build a solid section with useful information for the public.

Abstract

In the academic careers of subfields like Journalism, the communicational field is at a crisis caused by the gap between theory accumulation and knowledge reproduction. Thirty years ago, Verón and Martín-Barbero proposed a new approach, displacing analysis of the media to mediations. In 2008, Scolari started focusing in the hypermediations, consisting of forwards, hybridization and contaminations. In 2009, Castells put emphasis on the observation of social transformations provoked by mass auto-communication. While we must think in dismassification and fragmentation, obsolete notions like massive culture or cultural industry resist, reducing the profession to a poor monologue with little incidence in the informative management. The subject of this paper is to discuss the factors that disturb the connection between two academic plans necessarily interdependent.

Abstract

Although we live in a global society, educators face many challenges in finding meaningful ways to connect students to people of other cultures. This paper offers a case study of a collaboration between teachers in the US and Turkey, where 7th grade students interacted with each other via online social media as a means to promote cultural understanding. In a close analysis of a single learning activity, we found that children had opportunities to share ideas informally through social media, using their digital voices to share meaning using online writing, posting of images and hyperlinks. This study found that students valued the opportunity to develop relationships with each other and generally engaged in sharing their common interests in Hollywood movies, actors, celebrities, videogames and television shows. However, not all teachers valued the use of popular culture as a means to find common ground. Indeed, teachers had widely differing perspectives of the value of this activity. Through informal communication about popular culture in a «Getting to Know You» activity, students themselves discovered that their common ground knowledge tended to be US-centric, as American students lacked access to Turkish popular culture. However, the learning activity enabled students themselves to recognize asymmetrical power dynamics that exist in global media culture.
