Television, violence and media effects

In the contemporary world, we observe the restriction of interpersonal relationships as a consequence of the violence present in the metropolis, of the stimulus to the conviviality restricted to the family and couples and of the production of personalized subjectivity. The illusion created by television that the spectator participates in the situation transmitted by TV contributes to this restriction, producing the mediated public space. Among the implications of this process we discuss the idea that television discourse assumes the function of the spectator's spokesman, expanding secondary violence when it establishes meanings to the virtual experiences of the subject.
