Ciudadanos y culturas mediáticas: ocultos en la formalidad democrática

Abstract

We are facing a way of understanding the relationship between communication, culture and politics, broadening the meanings of the social dimension in life. Different processes of media inclusion are evidenced, and they are assumed by media receptors in different fields. This way, a concept of mediation applicable to the field of interactions among varied disciplinary glances and among the offers and readings made of them, is recovered. The feelings of belonging appeal to individual levels and collective atmospheres that are installed and move constantly, generating changes. In this process, the culture and society association is especially outstanding, allowing the under-standing of positioning with regards to power. These mediations are cultural, but they are also social and, especially, political. Thus, the concept of democracy emerges reinterpreted by the audiences, evidencing hidden diversities by the formal political exercise. The text raises the curtain to evidence subjective worlds of reinterpretation. This way different locations and definitions of citizenship are identified. Movements between in-formation and pleasure are evidenced beyond a simple content analysis.
