“…Given the fact that Internet aesthetics can be characterized as a classificatory activity taking place through online communication in places like Tumblr or Aesthetics Wiki, it might be reasoned that they are a manifestation of digital forms of criticism and other related forms of digital hermeneutics. Online art criticism, collective readings of art, and social hermeneutics online are understood as requiring individuals to collectively (or singularly in social settings) engage critically with artifacts, justifying their categorizations of them (Fish, 1980;Hanquinet, et al, 2014;Jauss, 1982;Kristensen, et al, 2021;Verboord, 2014). However, Internet aesthetics present in their construction little discursive activity: they group songs, visual references, movies, books, but it is rarely explained which properties of these objects justify their aesthetic belonging and there is no debate.…”

In this study we explore the so-called Internet aesthetics, labels applied on heterogenous collections of materials and activities by Internet users, which are discussed and constructed primarily on the Internet. We conducted qualitative content analyses on entries of AestheticsWiki, as well as interviews with 11 Internet aesthetics enthusiasts. In contrast to established notions such as genre, style or subculture, Internet aesthetics are characterized by few conventions, but seem fundamentally open for individual interpretations. We therefore theorize that they primarily serve as toolkits, through which individuals give sense and coherence to personal experience, in line with a situation-specific self-image. In doing so, they contribute to a reflexive myth of the self.

“…2). Recently, social media and digital media culture have revised the understanding of such criticism, and have been the focus of critiques (see Carlson, 2016;Johansen, 2021;Kristensen et al, 2021;Teurlings, 2018).…”

The feminist bell hooks is a staunch critic of sexist, racist, and classist media representations. Despite this, hooks has been called out for being unscholarly and disorganized in her cultural criticism. Through a close reading of hooks’ works, this paper attempts to make sense of and organize her cultural criticism frameworks toward a possible system for a critical discourse analysis. Hooks’ works are taken apart to examine how the parts fit together to understand the order, interventions, and intellectual motivations of her methods. Certain processes by which these frameworks may be used by scholars and critics for interrogating sex, race, class, and other intersectional representations are also discussed.

“…Una manera de establecer vínculos con la sociedad es mediante el surgimiento del sufrimiento social, que, como señala Anton (2017), no es causado solamente por el malestar físico y su impacto emocional, sino que se refiere a una expresión de la condición humana más extraordinaria, que es la base de la Evolución Cultural. Una cultura que actualmente, está definida por los procesos comunicativos y mediáticos (Gómez-Galán, 2015 y 2020; Hartley et al, 2020;Sheldon et al, 2020;Kristensen, 2021;Barrientos-Báez, 2019b)).…”

Introducción: El inicio de la tercera década del siglo XXI será recordado por la pandemia de COVID-19 y la crisis sanitaria que ha producido, modificando sistemas como el cultural, el político, el económico, el mediático o el comunicativo. Desde la antropología de la salud, se pueden observar las interconexiones entre el sistema sanitario, la comunicación y la cultura, todas ellas indivisibles por los muchos enfoques que conviven y que configuran un campo de análisis propio. Metodología: Esta investigación empírica se ha desarrollado en España durante el momento álgido de la crisis sanitaria -en el Estado de Alarma- e investiga cómo afectó esta pandemia a los profesionales sanitarios durante la primera oleada de la misma. Ellos fueron la barrera fundamental para hacer frente al coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, y realizaron su trabajo en condiciones extremadamente precarias, sin apenas equipos de protección individual, ni recursos humanos suficientes, ni las infraestructuras imprescindibles para atender a los pacientes. Resultados/Discusión: El estudio se centra en tres dimensiones: (a) los aspectos culturales que impregnan la actividad profesional de los sanitarios, (b) los aspectos emocionales en el desarrollo de la misma sobre los procesos de duelo y muerte desde sus componentes simbólicos, y (c) las percepciones que tiene de la gestión sanitaria realizada por la respuesta pública. Conclusiones: Los resultados describen la situación extrema a la que tuvieron que enfrentarse estos profesionales, en una crisis sanitaria sin precedentes en décadas, que refleja un nuevo escenario antropológico y sociológico.
