Media and Everyday Life (60h)
Two concepts provide the basis for the development of this discipline: first, that the everyday is the environment where social transformations are processed; Secondly, that contemporaneity is acclimated by the media and, therefore, establishes a necessary relationship between media and daily life, with its reflexes in common sense. Such relations will be studied in the context of the society of the spectacle, of the commodity, and of the mediatization of social relations, with an emphasis on the role of the large media corporations and the perspectives of the “network society” with its possibilities and illusions. It adopts the perspective of the dialectic between phenomenon, process and discourses to approach the naturalization of facts, recurrent in journalism and in advertising, in the cinema and in other mediatic manifestations and presents the concept of suspension of the daily life as mediation for the critic Of common sense.
