The serial saga section of the Chilean press, published since the second half of the 19th century, was a discursive space within which texts corresponding to the background of what became known as the modernist chronicle by the end of the 19th century. The motivation of this study lies in the absence of studies regarding this turn-of-the-century chronicle. It is therefore only feasible to analyze research that addresses the chronicle of the Indias and skip to modernist ones. In light of this absence, the hypothesis of this article indicates that texts that were published in the serial saga section since 1842 are the key to understanding the emergence of the modernist chronicle in Chile, as understood by J. Ramos (2003), S. Rotker (2005), A. Mateo (2009) and C. Ossandón (1998). The body of the analysis is concentrated in the Chilean newspapers El Progreso (1842), El Huasquino (1856), La Actualidad (1858) and La Brisa de Chile (1875). The methodology of analysis is organized following the proposal of Michel Foucault (2007) on discourse and Dominique Maingueneau (2007) on enunciation. The novelty of this research is the analysis of the non-narrative or fictional material of the serial saga section, which demonstrates an emphasis on the subject that enunciates and the feeling of rupture at the time. The conclusions indicate that the non-narrative materials of the serial saga section clearly demonstrate the crisis, the collapse of institutions and societal reorganization, resulting in fugitive discourse that attempts to explain the status quo of the last fifty years of the 1800s, elements that are condensed in the modernist chronicle.

The article analyses the academic social networks, Academia and Mendeley, studying their origins, purposes and ways of functioning as well as their use and expansion among professors and researchers from different areas of knowledge. A descriptive approach is made to the concept of academic social network and its implantation in the scientific community as one of the basic tools that the researcher uses to document and disseminate their work. In the methodology used, of a qualitative-quantitative nature, the methods of observation systematized, and the case study have been chosen. For the theoretical and conceptual framework have been accessed articles, studies, reports, definitions and references of the websites of the platforms studied in order to have a basis on which to interpret situations and develop more extensive research. The result obtained allows us to know the public to whom they are directed, the level of use and the various utilities in the field of research.

Government communication in Mexico has been used, regularly, for electoral purposes, this despite the fact that its regulatory design indicates a scheme of restrictions that seek to prevent, precisely, the invasion of that sphere. The legislation on social communication (government communication) although it seems to warn the extent and influence that the media have on citizenship, which could break equity in electoral processes, is aimed at regulating public spending for propaganda governmental but does not establish conditions for citizens to appropriate the necessary elements for decision-making; The media, due to their massive capacity, constitute the main platform that facilitates communication between government and citizens.

This article tackles with a research about the use of the Spanish language in relation to collaborative work on the Internet. It describes an early stage of an experiment carried out along with Wikimedia Spain and supported by three research centers. In this research it is analysed why Wikipedia in Spanish, which is the second language with more native speakers, holds the ninth place in relation to the number of articles in that encyclopedia. This work also deals with the study of Wikipedia intrinsic biases, both from the international scene and from the Spanish version. In order to explore the aforementioned behaviour, we have made a research based on 231 Spanish university students aimed at measuring users' creative skills.

The political-cultural reality that Valencian radio television (RTVV) reflected in its last years of broadcasting was an ideological projection of the political project of the Popular party in its most explicit version. If there is a particularly extreme case, it is the treatment of the Metrovalencia accident of July 3, 2006. Through the comparative analysis between the treatment of the news in the daily programs of those dates of the Rtvv information services and the Interactive proposal of Barret films, the web documentary O responsable, we intend to bring out the basic strategies with the audiovisual discourse of the tragedy, its manipulative dimension and the repercussion of this information on civil society, are built in this particular case, as in culture, memory or politics.

The algorithms’ growing importance shows the discrimination registered, especially on gender and minority groups, besides the need of transparency in the application of these formulas against the corporations' opacity. Despite these biases, the making decision on almost all the knowledge fields, as well as the social, political and economic activities, leans on algorithms because of the blind trust in computer processing and the technological imaginary about their ability to eliminate the error and the bias. The Search Engine Manipulation Effect (SEME) (Epstein y Robertson, 2015) shows very clear effects on voting behavior. Caliskan y Bryson (2017) have also detected the reproduction of gender and ethnic biases when working on already biased data, which lead to a very important statistical deviations in Big.

Using the new governance in education paradigm as the starting point, this article analyzes the editorials published by the newspapers El Mercurio and La Tercera, as part of the influential context in which the new teaching career project was debated in Chile. Utilizing Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), we identified the use of linguistics strategies such as the generalization and impersonalization of actors, and the authorization based on an expert discourse, as ways of undermining the role played by the Teachers’ Union during the discussion of the project. We also identified the conception of the ideal teacher, who was characterized as docil, willing to be constantly evaluated, and apolitical.
