Hacia una pedagogía de la televidencia
By recognizing the specificity of television in its triple dimension
of medium, technology and institution, and the multiple interactions
taking place between television an its audiences, in this paper I
develop a pedagogical intervention perspective conceived as a participatory
research process which is focussed on the very process of television
viewing. This perspective is inspired in the work of Paulo Freire;
its main general premise is that the point of departure of any attempt
to transform television viewing is to make evident what is implicit
both in the television itself and in the audience's interaction whit
it. In this perspective is also assumed that a productive way to pedagogically
intervene in the television viewing process is by using analytical-ludic
strategies directed to facilitate viewers' their most integral and
live understanding of the various cognitive domains involved in their
interactions whit/and uses of television. This type of strategies
are thought to be specially suited to help viewers to effect changes
in order to become more selective, autonomous, and eventually, more
critical audiences.
La perspectiva de la recepción de
los medios masivos en la revista Comunicación y Sociedad. Una
primera exploración
This article attempt an approach to the present present state of studies
about receptions in communication by analyzing the articles published
by the Comunicación y Sociedad magazine on this issues. Construction
made by the different author are explored by focusing on their tratment
of assumed theoretical categories, the objects of research constructed
an their metodological proposals; that is, "what are they talking
about?", when they talk about "perception". Thus, after going through
each article, the underlying theoretical trends are exposed, as well
as the different subjets constructed from them. In such a field as
communication in which what is investigated and thought over is often
left aside (forgotten) by the whirling speed of the outlook, reflection
should be considered of vital importance.
