Images that tell the world
Debate
What do television images tell us? What kinds of discourse lie behind audiovisual entertainment formats? Jordi Balló and Mercè Oliva speak with Joan Burdeus and Mònica Planas on the occasion of the publication of the book La imatge incessant (The Incessant Image, Anagrama, 2024).
An audiovisual format is a set of rules capable of generating narrative repetition. But what kinds of discourse lie behind these formats? How do they communicate with other visual languages? Taking as their starting point the questions that Jordi Balló and Mercè Oliva raise in their essay La imatge incessant, the philosopher Joan Burdeus and the journalist and teacher Mònica Planas explore with them the anatomy of the various audiovisual formats and the ethical and narrative problems they can give rise to.
Participants: Jordi Balló, Mercè Oliva, Joan Burdeus, Mònica Planas
