Análisis de la distopía como posibilidad crítico-comunicativa: una experiencia desde los estudios culturales en la línea investigativa "Comunicación, Tecnología y Poder" del Colegio Claretiano en el 2021-2022

Abstract

In this research, relationships are woven between educommunicative, artistic creation and ethical-political issues implied by scientific-technological advances to contribute to the construction of a more active, critical and purposeful citizenship. Due to the openness in the communication of new technologies, the approach to different points of view has been facilitated; however, there has also been a state and business control about the content, which has led to an informational and cultural industrialization, it is here where dystopias come to play an interpretative role, symbolic-cultural and critical of reality, since through them are presented ethical, political, social and cultural concerns of the societies in which they develop, which appear perfection, but reveal unequal and unjust structures and social relations. For this, a theoretical and methodological anchoring is made from Cultural Studies and Critical Communicative Methodology that reveal an analysis of reality from the manifestations of popular culture, daily life, the contexts of the subjects and thus propose alternatives from each interpretative agent in order to overcome issues through the argued discussion that builds democratic educommunicative spaces.

This work, carried out with students from the Claretiano School of Bosa in the Research Seedbed of Critical Thinking, especially in the line of Communication, Technology and Power, during the years 2021 and 2022, it sets out an educational proposal, whose backbones are the dystopian, the communicative and political so that it allows young people to express, reflect and create positions, doubts, desires, readings of the future and solutions to different social problems, by the hand of self-reflection on their relationship with the media, technology, science and knowledge.
