Tendência espectral do audiovisual contemporâneo no Youtube

Abstract

This thesis aims to reflect about an existing spectral trend in contemporary neo-baroque audiovisual, in particular the one circulating on YouTube. The affirmation of the existence of such a trend is due to the perception that in this setting there is a mixture of different types of video footage mounted with archival footage and technically original videos (recorded with camera) seeking clear references in previously made material. In addition, by contagion, there is a recurring return of images, directly or indirectly, by repetition or by difference, that are creating an imagistic "ghost-state", in which the images live, die and move around. The ghosts are (or not) recognized in memory for remembrance images of what we see in what looks at us. These videos are, side by side and anachronistically, in the same interface (YouTube), and compete equally for the interest of viewers-users. The montages were analyzed and organized into a constellation, through a ghostly bias, in the following dialectical images: file-image, direct ghost-image, indirect ghost-image and undefined ghost-image. The methodology employed involved the articulation of intuitive (Bergson), cartographic (Benjamin), deconstructive (Derrida) and dissecative (Kilpp) procedures.
