THE FRAGMENTED REALITY

Trends of media discourse



Abstract:



This number of Sphera Publica approaches, from different perspectives, contemporary storytelling changes in mass media. The aim is to deepen into the analysis of stories that presents today more fragmented than ever. Although it is not necessary to remember it, the process called "postmodern era" is present in this situation to underline the crisis of the big statements and the lack of accepted laws by the citizenship.



This monographic number includes articles that analyze the crisis of speech. Also, study the effects in different media manifestations of the culture of spectacle, close to other studies that raise possible alternatives to the apparent chaos. Within these processes, the innovation in the narrative borders that the Web has supposed must be included. The intimate but public diaries (blogs), the collective and stories with hipertext, or the micronarratives, are only some of these tensions still not fully solved in Internet, but that are giving place to a new field of experimentation and innovation.



Some of the questions that have used as impulse to the researches are the following ones: what transformations has provoked the development of culture of the spectacle in the media speech? How has it influenced the journalistic genres in the crisis of the big statements and the preference to the intimacy? What about the new role of identity? How does it affect the fragmentation inherent in Internet to the construction of the journalistic storytelling?
