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?
