Visual sparklings by VJs. Poesy of clichés?
Keywords:
imagens cintilantes, clichê, metanarrativas, poética, qualissignoAbstract
This paper discusses the visual ad-libbing of VJs and their strategy to build metanarratives by reiterating clichéd images. These images depict commonplace television scenes, stereotyped behaviors and images used for urban signaling. The poetics thus derived — a concept propounded by Paul Valéry — reconfigures the redundancy of such icons. Due to the juxtaposition of frames and the temporal sequencing of meaning-laden images, semantic and visual shocks are established which promote the resignification of the cliché. In other words, singular audiovisual expressions are built through repetition and shock.Metrics
