LGBT+ media on the Internet: experiences of communication and information in Mexico

RAUL ANTHONY OLMEDO NERI (2023, [Artículo, Artículo])

Two digital LGBT+ media in Mexico are analyzed to understand the implications of their operation and their articulation with the informational and social needs of sex-gender populations. It starts from the communicational perspective to conceptualize these projects as exercises in technological appropriation but highlighting their empirical intersections with other analytical frameworks. Through the method of systematizing the experience, the trajectories of ANODIS and Seis Franjas Mx have been recovered; through semi-structured interviews conducted with their co-founders in February 2022, the reasons, horizons and challenges that these projects have faced are analyzed. The results show that the lack of LGBT+ content and representations in the media motivate the creation of these projects, which articulate a sense of collaboration and sociality with other users belonging to sex-gender communities. In addition, the people participating in these projects are part of the LGBT+ populations, becoming them producers and consumers of information that claim the gender-identity dimension in the content. Likewise, these initiatives are specified in the youth stage of their co-founders, which refers to rethinking the role of LGBT+ youth in the new forms of activism and socialization mediated by Internet. Finally, given the progressive formation of this area of ​​knowledge and the lack of consensus on its definition, it is proposed to name this interdisciplinary field of study as LGBT+ Communicational Studies, to show an epistemological perspective from communication and a Latin American ontological position.

KAREN RAMIREZ GONZALEZ (2024, [Artículo])

El trabajo tiene como objetivo analizar la percepción que tiene la comunidad estudiantil del oriente de Morelos con respecto a la habilitación de un baño incluyente, como parte de una política institucional de corte progresista. Mediante un diseño metodológico cuantitativo, se aplicaron 131 encuestas conformadas por cuestionarios estructurados de tipo mixto. En el análisis se estudian los efectos de la socialización de dos agencias: la familia y la educación escolar. El estudio concluye que la educación familiar y escolar y el contacto con grupos de pares vinculados a la comunidad OSIG LGBTQ+ incidieron en la disminución de estereotipos y roles de género e incrementaron la valoración positiva de las estrategias implementadas por las autoridades universitarias para la habilitación del baño incluyente.
