Imagens de violência : construções e representações

Abstract

This work proposes to analise strategies of construction and representation of Violence within social mediatic and communicational space of the television and the cinema in this country (Brazil), particularly during the last decades. It identifies how ethical and aesthetical aggregated elements present in the audiovisual language, question the receptor through intensity and immediacy and share an aeshtetic status that, far from being an objective and true description of the dynamics of violence manifest within social reality, shows itself as a privilieged construction locus of values, identities, mediation and meanings.
