Así, el "núm. 39-39695" corresponde a la ficha 39695, la cual está en el volumen 39 de la NRFH.

Parallel to the representations of the media, memes have become a powerful tool for Internet users to convey opinions and express emotions about war, giving rise to an unexpected communication phenomenon: talking about this fact with humor, despite the thousands of deaths and millions of displaced people. Given their persuasive nature and exponential dissemination, memes contribute to creating public opinion and social reality. Thus, this study aims to decipher and describe the meanings that predominate in the most popular memes about this event and identify their emotional or cognitive intention, rhetoric and style of humor, purpose, and, in the case of memes considered harmful, their objectives and audience to which the harm is targeted. From a rhetorical and content analysis performed on the ten most popular memes on Twitter, we found that these have a high moral content: they point out the mistakes of others. Criticism is directed at Latin America, Putin, the Western media, and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). The predominant emotion and intention are fear and social criticism. The intertextual character of memes implies three degrees of semantic dependency. These results show that behind apparently innocuous humor, there are ideologies, perspectives, and social criticism that find support in the network.

Social media, including Instagram, favor the construction of university communities beyond the campus due to their audiovisual nature and consolidation as communication tools in the educational field. Thus, the main objective is to analyze the strategies implemented on the platform by the top five world universities according to the Shanghai Ranking to determine the actions aimed at promoting an intentional community and assess the impact caused by them in the real-life community. For this research, a quantitative and qualitative methodology was chosen, performing an impact analysis of the profiles using the Fanpage Karma tool and a content analysis of the semiotics of discourse with Excel and SPSS statistical software. We examined 394 posts by the Universities of Harvard, Stanford, Cambridge, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), and California Berkeley between September 1 and December 31, 2021, the first three months of the academic year typical to the United States and the United Kingdom. The results show a non-proportional relationship between post frequency and impact and the existence of shared semiotic variables on which the message is based. However, a dichotomy is found between the actions of North American universities and the British one, reflecting the influence of idiosyncratic factors on the design of social media strategy.

Corporate activism has been a highly relevant business management concept in recent years, developed without specific theories to understand its implications. This article proposes a conceptual model that can be applied to organizations and their stakeholders from backgrounds such as cognitive dissonance or corporate citizenship. The method relies on analyzing the background of corporate activism and related theories, suggesting stakeholders’ acceptance or rejection of corporate activism (MACO model) based on congruence with the value system, the typologies of activism, and the degree of controversy of various industries. The main contribution of this article is providing the theoretical foundations of corporate activism and its relationships through the MACO model. Its main limitation is the novelty of the topic, which requires resorting to other disciplines and makes the relationship between constructs more complex. This model opens up new approaches to the phenomenon and offers a basis for further empirical research.
