Bibliographic Details
Summary:This text is a panoramic analysis of the media narratives through the Travel and Share platform, focusing on five videos available on its YouTube channel in the space of five months. The methodology used was a content analysis instrumented by data collection and analysis, analysis of visual and audiovisual content (Bardin, 2000). Adopting the texts, The Narrator and The Work of Art in the Age of its Technical Reproducibility (Benjamin, 1985), The Power of Vulnerability (Brown, 2010) and What is the Contemporary? (Agamben, 2009), we seek to understand some narratives exposed in the investigated content. With this study it is concluded that the vulnerabilities caused by the pandemic and linked to autonomous audiovisual narratives provide an exchange of experiences through the stories told, leading to a greater expectation, in search of understanding the new ways of being in a constantly changing world.
