Espectadores da condição humana em ambientes midiáticos

Abstract

The article starts from contemporary discussions in the field of media studies that problematize the apathy of spectators in face of narratives that portray injustices and humanitarian tragedies. These researches identify that the insensitivity from audiences would also be tied to the dehumanization of the otherness that populates the media landscape. The intention is to address the issue by highlighting the circumstantial character of human condition and the obstacles to political actions whose are based exclusively on moral appeals. In the sequence is proposed a theoretical displacement from forms of structuring the claims to reconfiguration of sensibility regimes in the perceptive field of spectator, allowing that systematically violated lives would be finally be perceived as humanly knowable.
