Social
context determined by the culture of media convergence, together with the
proliferation of digital devices connected to the Internet and their
penetration among citizens, has given relevance, more than ever, to the media
and visual culture. Digital media and images have conducted visual field
towards the study of consumer´s practices and producer´s image, in accordance
with the social aspects and the cultural contexts that characterize them.
To the
multidisciplinary approach of media and digital literacy, intergenerational
issue is added as the starting point of this issue, which seeks to delve into
the fact that the media experience occurs in differentiated conditions,
characterized by different cultural (media and digital) competences between
generations: analogical and digital citizens, emigrants and digital natives.
From the family portraits to the /selfies /of our smartphones, from soap opera
and TV series to social networks. Images produced and consumed get increased
from a diversity of experiences and memories, from a multiplicity of lifestyles
and media uses, which is worth to be rethought from the idea of
"generations".
Which are
the visual environments of socialization for the different generations? What
influences do they exercise in their daily lives, in their experience, and in
their memory? What is the role of visual and media literacy in the process of
understanding the relationship between different generations and the different
media? How visual culture contributes to the pedagogical processes? Does the
generational perspective contribute for the understanding of the image
transformation and impact in contemporaneity? Is the visual culture an
approaching element among generations? Which are the more suited proposals and
theoretical reflections in the current context? Is the visual culture an
inspiring element to favor participative methodologies in this field? Can digital age and its visual culture favor
generational barriers? Does the digital visual culture assume an
intergenerational perspective?
