Special issue of Popular Communication on Digital Convergence in Latin America
Dear Colleagues of the Philosophy of Communication Division,
As Chair of the Popular Communication Division I
would like to inform you of the latest Special
Issue of the Division's journal Popular
Communication: The International Journal of
Media and Culture on "Digital Convergence in the
Critical Fields of Culture, Communication, and
Regulation in Latin America" which we hope will
be of interest to many of our colleagues in your Division.
The issue offers an outstanding collection of
articles on the phenomenon of convergence in
Latin America and on its cultural and social
consequences, featuring articles by Néstor
García Canclini, Jesús Martín Barbero, José
Cabrera Paz, Ana María Ochoa and Carolina
Botero, Raúl Trejo Delarbre and our guest editor
Rosalía Winocur of Universidad Autonoma Metropolitana, Mexico.
We are excited about having been able to
translate five of the six articles from Spanish,
thereby overcoming the linguistic barrier that
often impedes the wider discussion and
examination of Latin American experiences of and with digital convergence.
