Medi\u00e1tico<\/em> is an academic blog devoted to the study of Latin American, Latino\/a, and Iberian media cultures (including those of national and transnational television, film, radio, music and new media, among others). It features a diverse array of research, news and views on these cultures — of any length and in a variety of formats — by scholars from around the world.<\/p>\n

To celebrate Medi\u00e1tic<\/em>o’s launch day we are especially honoured to publish an essay on Spanish television dramas<\/a> by Medi\u00e1tico <\/em>contributing editor Paul Julian Smith<\/a>, Distinguished Professor, PhD Program in Hispanic and Luso-Brazilian Languages and Literatures at the Graduate Center, City University of New York.<\/p>\n

Further original items have been produced by Medi\u00e1tico<\/em> founding co-editors Dolores Tierney, on Cuban digital filmmaking<\/a>, and by Catherine Grant on transnational Latin American film authorship<\/a>.<\/p>\n

For ease of access, we have assembled an alphabetically-ordered list of links<\/strong>, below, to all the content you can read at Medi\u00e1tico<\/em> to date.<\/p>\n

From now on, we hope to post at least weekly updates. You can follow us by email (see the right hand sidebar to subscribe), at Twitter (@MediaticoMFM<\/a>), or at our Facebook page.<\/a> If you’d like to contribute please take a look at our invitation to do just that<\/a>!<\/p>\n
