This article studies the influence of television programing in the formation of a threshold for critical thinking among Latin American spectators. Based on a revision of the literature on television and popular culture, and the progressive changes towards democracy in the region, the author explores issues that emerge due to a recent growth of drug-trafficking themed soap operas. Proposed as a literature review and discussion, the author analyzes how the television industry erodes pedagogical foundations necessary to galvanize the incipient democracy in the region. Instead of a pedagogical proposal, here is offered an analysis of the dynamic transformation of the television monopolies and how on behalf of soap operas are offered narratives and paradigms of action crossed by features such as an obsession for success and social recognition. There is where the profile of drug traffickers fulfills the thirst for novelties in language, themes and characters in television emporiums. However, the audience of such T.V. programs faces popular culture contents without a critical toolkit necessary to build for themselves moral frames that would lead to question the form how the industry is helping to celebrate and perpetuate violence and illegality. |
