Board gaming is an emerging cultural industry tightly linked to informal learning activities over a diversity of disciplines such as biology, math, and language. History is one of the most important fields of knowledge represented in these games as thousands of historical boardgames have been launched since the beginning of the industry 50 years ago. These games depict a large variety of eras and historical events, from Prehistory to the Cold War. There is a growing academic interest indeveloping Game-Based Learning methods where these boardgames can be used as learning devices. However, most of these works are focused on the use of video games in classroom contexts, and there are but a few authors who have focused on the interest of board gaming as an informal learning activity. This work explores the historical content found across thousands of board games understood as informal learning devices. The goal of this analysis is to know what History themes appear in commercial boardgames, thus contributing to the players' learning experience on History. A computational method based on topic modelling and data visualization has been applied to automatically identify themes in boardgames based on their text-based descriptions. The analysis presented here focuses on a comparative study of three periods at different scales: a) Medieval era, b)19th Century, and c) World War 2. Results show how themes included in boardgames are directly related to the era they represent, and reveal the existence of noticeablebiases towards the overrepresentation of wars and European History. These findings suggest that boardgames can promote informal critical learning of historical events while reinforcing an unequal public perception of our past.

The perception of poverty in Colombia allows to complement the diagnoses on welfare in the country, in order to ensure its economic and social development. For this reason, this article analyzes the incidence of individual characteristics and environment on the perceptions of poverty reported by Colombians in 2003 and 2016. For this, two models are estimated: a probit and a generalized ordered logit, using the National Quality of Life Survey for both years. It can be concluded that monetary income continues to be important to face the feeling of poverty, although its contribution has lost its weight, and other factors have been positioned, such as a good state of health, access to new technologies and solutions to vehicular congestion, among others. Finally, this study shows that there are factors that continue to be necessary to reduce people’s perception of poverty but have not been sufficient to change their perception.

During election campaigns the mass media favor political debate, giving relevant issues a particular framing. In this coverage the use of the conflict frame stands out, and although it usually presents politics as an exercise of confrontation and attack, it can also show it as a process of discussion and the exchange of opinions. A content analysis was conducted on television and press news during the 2018 presidential and the 2021 federal legislative elections in Mexico. The findings confirm the existence of two differentiated frames, that of “conflict” and that of “discussion and political agreement”. Furthermore, a connection between the two frames was detected in the media coverage of the campaigns.

This paper analyzes the fictional brand Wonka through the use of the reverse product placement tool. It has an exploratory-descriptive methodology that has required a bibliographic review and in-depth interviews with the experts responsible for the brand. The results illustrate its treatment in the market reflecting on its transmedia identity. In this way, a vision on the application of this technique is constructed through the study of a case of an advertising practice that has been little investigated in the academic field.

Expert and primary sources, as opposed to institutional sources, predominate, while collaborative practices with related media for the development and diffusion of content are also common.
