Espetacularização midiática da crueldade e a ordem da representação: o filme Contra todos
Palavras-chave
Media hype and the order of representation: the film Contra todos Taking as a starting point the banalization of violence vis-à-vis cruelty, fuelled by excessive media hype - which consequently affects the order of representation, this paper ask if we are not in danger of recycling violence, when we should be moving away from it altogether. It is worth capturing the relationship between cruelty-violence and mass media, particularly in products that aim to dramatize the urban space, which in turn is affected by communications networks and the flow of information, as studied by Martín-Barbero. Considering the meanings of cruelty, from those commonly understood and established by the media, against those defined by Clément Rosset, one should highlight the film “Contra Todos” directed by Roberto Moreira, and its reception by the written press and the Internet. Thus the main approach is focused on the relationship between cruelty-violence, contemporary city and its representations. Key-words
