Building fears: imaginaries and media narratives of violence

Abstract:

This article is part of the ongoing research "On the social construction of fear. Stories about the scope of violence among young people" of the Directorate of Research and Development (DIDE) Technical University of Ambato, Ecuador. Based on a systematization of readings on risk, violence and fears coming from anthropology, sociology and communication, the main objevtive is to map these discourses mediately as stories that have been assumed as something proper, normal and daily by the population. In this sense, the stories of fearhave a very important component in the images that facilitate the appropriation by the citizenship, for that reason the analysis of the images about violence and fears constitutes a way to understand the dynamics about citizen security.
