*OVERVIEW*

The 32nd edition of Contratexto will address the present and future of 
media education in Ibero-America, as well as its state of development 
and the challenges it presents. Media education concerns the role of 
traditional and new media as a subject matter. It is not limited to the 
role of ICTs as teaching tools, it is also about learning to use them.

This issue will highlight the importance of media education from a broad 
perspective, within a framework of growing interest in the topic. We are 
particularly interested in learning about new experiences and 
initiatives worked in the formal, non-formal and informal areas, 
corresponding to any educational level and aimed at different ages of 
social groups. Furthermore, we welcome the analysis of new practices and 
trends where educational and media processes converge; the use of 
traditional or digital media in learning contexts, the application of 
games or mobile devices with educational ends, the growth of 
self-learning and participative communities (i.e. fan-fiction writers 
and readers or gamers), the production of user-generated educational 
contents, the barriers and opportunities towards developing critical 
capabilities, as well as theory and epistemological debates pertaining 
these subjects.

*THEMATIC FOCUS*
