This study is based on a sample of Spanish viewers of audiovisual fiction, seeking to understand behavior associated with fan identity. A quantitative method was used to explore the characteristics shared by viewers who define themselves as fans, as well as the existence of differences according to various sociodemographic variables. To that end, the Fan Identity Questionnaire was prepared and validated through exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. The results confirm four types of behavior associated to media fans that, together, can explain and define fan identity with respect to the consumption of media content in Spain: experience, knowledge, collecting, and viewing. The study also shows that those viewers who define themselves as fans obtain higher values in this scale. Taking media fans into account, no significant differences were found in the mean of the Fan Identity Questionnaire based on sex, age, occupation and education and, as a result, we are able to conclude that fan identity is found in the Spanish sample regardless of the above-mentioned sociodemographic characteristics.
La represión vivida por los presos políticos en las cárceles franquistas en la inmediata posguerra nos brinda testimonios únicos por medio de la realización de cuentos cuyos destinatarios eran los hijos de éstos. Por ello, los cuentos escritos e ilustrados desde el medio penitenciario, y bajo condiciones de extrema dureza, se convierten en un medio de comunicación con el exterior esencial, al mostrar una obra resultado de un colectivo variopinto de literatos, aficionados y dibujantes, unas veces conocidos, otras anónimos, que por medio de ediciones facsímiles nos aproximan a una fuente histórica para conocer otra faceta de la vida en la cárcel de los años más severos de la posguerra española. En este texto nos acercamos a dos personajes que compartieron, en la distancia, penalidades y a quienes los une su acción como realizadores de cuentos para legarlos a sus hijos pequeños. El literato Miguel Hernández y el editor Alberto Sánchez Mascuñán sufrieron la represalia de los vencedores de distinta manera, y ambos fueron movidos por el amor a sus hijos, aspecto que posibilitó una obra preciosa y única llena de emotividad: los cuentos realizados desde la cárcel.
