Description:

Journalist and communicator of 3Cat and Catalunya Ràdio, Elisenda Carod, will present a Masterclass on La Marató de 3Cat on Wednesday 8 October in which some of the top people responsible for this solidarity programme will explain what a project of the magnitude of La Marató de 3Cat is like and how it is prepared, a telemarathon that has already become a benchmark at European communication level.

The class will feature Juan José Perona, dean of the Faculty of Communication Studies at the UAB; Lluís Bernabé, director of the 3Cat La Marató Foundation; Aleix Bou, creative head of the 3Cat Marketing Department; Jordi Català, director of the Audience and Analysis Area at 3Cat; Oriol Talon, director of TV3's La Marató for 2024 and 2025; and Virgínia Luzón, vice-rector for Communication at the UAB. Presenter Elisenda Carod, co-presenter in several editions of La Marató, will also provide her personal experience.                 

Attendees will be able to see first-hand how a programme as complex and diverse as La Marató is organised, where different programme formats coincide - discussion panels, entertainment, news, interviews - and with such an extensive duration of live television.

There will be a Q&A session before ending the event.

On 8 October, at 6:30 p.m., the Fort Pienc-Ana María Moix Library in Barcelona will host the first edition of the Jornades Chinacult.es. Producció artística entre Xina i Espanya [Chinacult.es Conference. Artistic production between China and Spain]. The conference was born with the vocation of creating a space for meeting and dialogue between artists, creators, cultural managers, the general public, students and academics interested in mobility, synergies and cultural exchanges between China and Spain.

The meeting will feature the presence of poet, writer and journalist Paloma Chen and author of theater, poetry and fiction Minke Wang, both descendants of Chinese migrants with different life trajectories that illustrate the historical and generational changes of the Chinese diaspora. Taking their works as a starting point and reference, we will talk about how the two artists have taken the floor, the difficulties they have had to face, identities, frictions, representations, positioning and power relations in the context of the cultural industries. The conversation will be moderated by Irene Masdeu, anthropologist and professor in the Department of Translation, Interpreting & East Asian Studies at the UAB, and Laia Manonelles, art historian and professor in the Department of Art History at the UB.

This activity is organised by Irene Masdeu and Roberto Figliulo, members of the Interasia Research Group at the UAB, and has the collaboration of the Humanities Library, the Confucius Institute Foundation of Barcelona, and the Department of Translation and Interpreting & East Asian Studies at the UAB.
