description This article undertakes an exploration around images that, with respect to their socio-cultural performance, are considered abject. It is based on two axes of analysis. A) realism and the impression of reality, considering the evolutionary development of reproduction devices linked to cinema; as well as the configuration and social insertion of those images that have been assumed and are assumed as realistic in the context of modern audiovisual culture. B) The controversy over the diffusion, circulation and consumption of media images of violence and death, taking into account their construction and their effects of meaning. In the present we are faced with a phenomenon propitiated by the Internet, namely that of deaths –by murder, suicide or accident– which are broadcast through social networks. The goal here is to elucidate some fundamental characteristics of this novel object, connected to amateur video and the determinant role of the Internet in the contemporary evolution of the urban myth of snuff movies. Such an object would imply, to a greater or lesser extent, an updating of issues related to audiovisual production and the mentioned myth. We intend to investigate what this supposed updating would consist of.

Se tienen en cuenta dos ejes de análisis centrales: a) el realismo y la impresión de realidad, considerando el desarrollo evolutivo de los dispositivos de reproducción vinculados al cine; así como la configuración y la inserción social de aquellas imágenes que se han asumido y que se asumen como realistas en el contexto de la cultura audiovisual moderna; b) la controversia sobre la difusión, la circulación y el consumo de imágenes mediáticas de violencia y muerte, teniendo en cuenta su construcción y sus efectos de sentido. Los fenómenos actuales propiciados por Internet, a saber, la emisión de muertes –por asesinato, suicidio o accidente– a través de las redes sociales. La meta aquí es dilucidar algunas características fundamentales de este objeto novedoso, conectado al video amateur y al rol determinante de Internet en la evolución contemporánea del mito urbano de las snuff movies (asesinatos perpetrados para su registro filmado). Dicho objeto implica una actualización de cuestiones vinculadas a la producción audiovisualal mito mencionado. El propósito es indagar en qué consistiría esa supuesta actualización.Universidad ORT Uruguay2019-07-04info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionvol10info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersiontext/htmlapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.ort.edu.uy/inmediaciones-de-la-comunicacion/article/view/288810.18861/ic.2019.14.1.2888https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.11968/3992http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.11968/39921688-86261510-509110.18861/ic.2019.14.1reponame:RADinstname:Universidad ORT Uruguayinstacron:Universidad ORTInMediaciones de la Comunicación; Vol. 14 Núm. 1 (2019): Inmediaciones de la Comunicación; 109-127spahttps://revistas.ort.edu.uy/inmediaciones-de-la-comunicacion/article/view/2888/2961https://revistas.ort.edu.uy/inmediaciones-de-la-comunicacion/article/view/2888/2928info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessDerechos de autor 2019 InMediaciones de la Comunicaciónoai:rad.ort.edu.uy:20.500.11968/39922026-06-16T04:09:57Z
