This research starts from the need of interpreting the communicators training in Mexico through cinema. It is made through three insert variables in cinematographic speech: freedom, justice and tolerance. It is based in speech analysis from an inductive model: symbolic-epistemic-aesthetic mode, the data interpretation through a corpus of movies from USA, Europe and Latin America and it has as a stating point the cinematographic text, conformed by the ellipsis and the off-the-record. Thus seeks to identify the features to train and project communicators in cinema.

Many authors recommend embedding entrepreneurship, innovation and creativity into Media Studies curricula. This article describes how one of these three dimensions (i.e., creativity) has been developed through Design Thinking in the Final Project of a Communication Degree, based on the testimonies of the tutors (both academic tutors and those of external companies and entities) and on the perceptions of the students themselves. The reinforcement of the multidisciplinary approach of the projects and the promotion of student motivation seem to be the most immediate challenges.

Cuando vemos una película no esperamos que nuestros actos interfieran con la narración, no experimentamos la sensación de agencia. Sin embargo, en algunas películas digitales podemos enfrentar situaciones en que de forma dinámica la narración cambia por nuestra participación. Podemos interferir la historia y los personajes para ayudar a resolver sus problemas. El artículo propone la reflexión a través del guión y la discusión sobre el sistema de interfaz física transparente de la película interactiva Arthur 2.0, en fase de producción. Este sistema integra software y dispositivos, permitiendo el mapeo ocular del interactor con gafas integradas a un dispositivo eye-tracking.

Prologue by Inmaculada Gordillo, Ana Mª Sedeño

Qualitative methods of research have in recent years-establish itself as a strategy, assertive and successful in the higher education system to link university students with the study of social phenomena from different disciplinary approaches. In the area of communication and specifically in the study of visual narratives, this paradigm, as embodied in the use of methods and tools, has enabled undergraduate and graduate students reconstruct reality from new interpretations of various social phenomena often they are outside its original context, such as poverty, inequality and violence, whether in the study of fiction programs or news. Through its approach to the world of research from the phenomenological paradigm, these researchers in training and upper middle class, encourage commitment and social awareness. This paper presents the results achieved by the authors for fourteen sixmonth periods as professors of three courses of Qualitative Research Methods: a professional level, and two graduate programs at a private university in northeastern Mexico. Notable in this descriptive analysis the methodological structure is based on courses, research skills acquired by students-translated master's thesis and publications in national and international conferences and journals. Are sampled the work through methodological framework in which the courses were based, research skills acquired by students, master's theses translated and published in national and international journals. Sample is taken as the work through methodologies such as qualitative content analysis, focus groups, ethnography and life stories, through techniques such as observation and in-depth interview.
