Abstract

This article offers an innovative research of the mediatic representation of poverty in mass media. This visual study, which compares Baroque Art to Neo-baroque mass media production, aims to notice similarities and differences and watch that there are cultural parameters that have settled in the collective ideals about the concept of poverty. Moreover, the paper proceeds to an analysis of media representation of social exclusion and its interpretation within popular culture.
