[ecrea] New book: “Young people and television fiction”

Subject: New Book: Jóvenes y Ficción Televisiva. Construcción de 
Identidad y Transmedialidad

We are pleased to announce the publication of Jóvenes y ficción 
televisiva. Construcción de identidad y transmedialidad (Young people 
and television fiction. Identity construction and transmediality), by 
UOCpress.

The book presents the results of a research project on the construction 
of youth identity through television fiction.  The study conducted by 
The Observatory of Spanish Television Fiction and New Technologies 
(OFENT: http://ofent.org) at the Autonomous University of Barcelona was 
funded by the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation and directed by 
Professor Charo Lacalle.

Combining quantitative and qualitative analysis, the study implements an 
innovative methodology optimized to work with large samples. The 
research is focused on Spanish television fiction premiered on Spanish 
TV networks for a period of two years. The book analyses the character 
construct while also focusing on the audiovisual narrative. This body of 
work also tackles a complex interrelationship between Web 2.0 and TV 
fiction. A focus is paid to the transmedia resources offered on the 
Internet as well as the discourses of Internet users about TV shows.
