The Youth Televisual Body

notes for a category analysis

Abstract

This article intends to present a methodological approach to analyze the relations between television narrative marks and the audiovisual produced and made available on the internet by the youth as tools for political dispute. I assume that in the 1980s an imaginary of television consumption was forged in Brazil through an aesthetic pedagogy of modes of production, linked to the audiovisual sector, in order to connect youth and television culture. I propose to analyze the ways in which this aesthetic knowledge presents itself as an important reference of youth visibilities in audiovisuals shared in social networks. The Youth Televisual body will be mapped from three axes: 1) the historical moment in which a television and youth culture was consolidated in Brazil, 2) the ways of narrating through the popular and 3) performance.
