*“Visual, digital and media culture: Images among generations”*

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?
