Scenes of testimony on television: the (non)encounter of worlds

Abstract:

This paper seek to understand how the media testimony can be conceived as a potentially political action in its ability of producing controversial scenes and simultaneously demonstrating a shared common and a separation. Such movement is inspired by the J. Rancière's political perspective. In this sense, we analyze the narrative about the daily routine of the young addict Paul "Thirteen" as told in the television show A Liga, or the Team as an evidence of the coexistence and contradiction of worlds established by the media testimony.
