Constructing an audiovisual discourse based on conflict: the use of photoanimations as a resource for examining reality

Abstract

By using the process of rebelliousness that is characteristic of the teenage stage, this investigation puts in practice a project with a research purpose based on the idea that it is possible to make use of the internal conflict experienced by young people to create a series of audiovisual stories. This project enables us to determine the problems which affect today’s youth and to help teachers and researchers gain a greater understanding of this juvenile universe which they are involved in. The results of this experience, which can be seen on the net at the address http://narrativasfotoanimadas.blogspot.com.es offer clear proof that an exercise of self-reflection within the classroom not only invites young people to defend their own identity through their speech, but also invites teachers and researchers to gain a greater insight into the current teenage reality.
