Exhibit show of intimacy and spectacularization of the self: celebration of the ordinary in the fictionalization of reality

Abstract

SIBILIA, Paula (2008). O show do eu: a intimidade como espetáculo. Rio de Janeiro: Nova Fronteira. 284 p. Exhibit show of intimacy and spectacularization of the self: celebration of the ordinary in the fictionalization of reality — New cultural practices associated with the use of technological devices of network communication are a contemporary phenomenon of the exhibition of intimacy and the celebration of the ordinary in the instantaneities of real time. The growing spectacularization of the self and the confessional tone of numerous autobiographical reports indicate a pressing need to validate existence in the transparency of the screen. In this context, the manifested subjectivity is legitimated in the mediated vision of the other and is transformed into a show.
