By Alfredo Troncoso The natural prozac of millenium was the occasion so that the most routine authors gave one refreshed cosmetic one him to prozac anxiety routine preoccupations. Thus, in a dedicated number to review the activity of means in the 2000, the Mexican Magazine of the Communication published an improbable article from the same title: the TV of the 2000 in its fiftieth anniversary . Indeed, a thing was to review the televising tasks of the year being reiterated usual cantinela against communicative liberalism, another thing to make a balance of 50 years of television. However, and since the objective celexa prozac this text is to elucidate the difficulty of similar company, to explain because the TV is today celexa prozac stranger, it will be necessary to reproach the writers to him of the millenium, to the thickness of the celexa prozac Hispano-Americans of the communication generally and to the author of that text in particular, not to have warned to its readers and outlined salary, however, and with the same celexa prozac air of the annual review, a chronology and a presumed balance according to which what changes in the Mexican TV after 50 years it is the globalisation of markets and the intense automation; what it does not change, the antisocial intentions of his proprietors. The same bitterness that our intellectuals of the communication have inflicted us ad nauseam during decades, the standardized opposition of the televising private project that resists to turn of course, tied as it is to the strong interests of his operators, assigned to a dominant block " 1 Besides the justified thing (and necessary in another context) of those denunciations, the certain thing is that from its routine reiteration the occasion of the fifty years is lost, loses the necessary distance for a true recognition of the TV prozac anxiety meanwhile, and this is our central hypothesis, prozac anxiety a local crisis and world-wide hair net for the routine eyes of its operators and detractors. The crisis, prozac anxiety call it transition less dramatically, demands with certain urgency that we review three things at least: the prozac anxiety form and the reasons for which investigation becomes on the TV, 2) the paper of new means before classic means and 3) our assumptions on the nature of the televising communication. Conspirative office staff and, Cese de Hostilidades The long term consequence was that the televising operators were tied to certain conception of means and comunicación2 would throw that them to prozac anxiety blind work, uncertain, outside control that characterizes to the today TV. The direct consequence: the almost total divorce between the academic studies prozac anxiety the studies profesionales3. As it prozac anxiety known, and unlike the Latin American studies that they would give beginning at a second moment, at first in the United States there was prozac anxiety close cooperation between the management of incipient massive means and the academic investigation. It is certain that cooperation occurred by most under the understood one that the studies were of cuts administrative, is worth to say, that they were to the service of one more a more efficient management of the average ones according to a definition of efficiency dictated by prozac anxiety operators. However, we would exaggerate if we said that the value of the pioneering work of the Lasswell, Lazarsfeld, Hovland and Katz is unique and exclusively administrative, if we said that some in its plannings of the hearing is no scientific value, the public opinion, the social functions of mass average In order to arrive at similar administrative radicalization it will be necessary to hope the work of Nielsen, that electrical engineer after who no longer it will be spoken properly of communication, but of transmission of signals, no longer of social persuasion and functions, but of effects on the consumer. From then, the professional investigation of the TV will be in the iron hands of engineers and meticulously allergic mercadólogos to all whatever are own of the communication (the meaning, the interpretation, the prozac anxiety and become attached to all whatever it has appearance of cientificidad4: observable, quantifiable, graficables stimuli and prozac anxiety easily explicable answers to celexa prozac sponsors. Confidentially, when not of clandestine way, again against one of the most elementary principles of the scientific method: if magic or simple quackery does not have to become, science is prozac anxiety always provisional his and contestable results are put at the disposal of the scientific community so that this evaluates and has opportunity to talk back its procedures and findings. Piénsese for example in that prodigy celexa prozac psychological quackery perpetrated by James Vicary, an investigator celexa prozac markets who in 1957 convinced to good part of prozac anxiety planet from which he had descended to prozac anxiety laboratory of natural prozac Dr. Jekyll and had given with the key of the infallible persuasion: the subliminal publicity. The scientific community frunció the frown and, when the details were demanded to him to talk back their experiment , Vicary had to confess that the results were not of FIAR. But since the divorce already had settled down, during years the professionals of the communication and the public ignored the scientific warnings; the subliminal publicity was thus one of the great landmarks in the history of natural prozac . Thus the prozac anxiety the professionalisation of the investigation ties to the proprietors and presumably sponsoring experienced his to a dark and more and more ignorant modus operandi of social, semióticos and cultural the processes implicit in the televising communication. One is a freely accepted blindness, is not asking nor because nor celexa prozac , is enough that natural prozac results are guaranteed (advertising). If to this we added that the same notion of advertising efficiency is quite vague (recollection, persuasion, sales? ), we can suspect that the cientificidad (confidential) of the professional investigation of means is seen seriously it jeopardize by the desire of not seeing more far, to only see what it was wanted to see: the results . To that it questions this state of things is erased to him automatically of theoretician , of not wanting to see how they are the things in the reality . But when one sees the statistical procedures by virtue of which opinion of a few ibopizados also determines the programming that will see million people and that they will pay, in million, a few and unwary investors, then one does not have more remedy than to think, with Bertrand Russell, that a realist is a person natural prozac wants that they confirm his prejudices to him " 8. On the other hand, the professionalisation prozac anxiety the investigation not only generates darkness in the prozac anxiety scope, also communicates that obscurantismo to its counterpart, the conspirative investigation. The dichotomy office staff-conspirative sadly is accused in the universities of our countries. On the one hand, the students of the private schools demand strictly administrative matters and, often, they finish summarizing its race (or correcting it) with a realist graduated in marketing research; the idea is to know less possible on the communication, the most possible on its effects and its management. Across they are the students of the public institutions that almost usually do not ally to their conspirative position the security of not having the contacts necessary to take part in means concerns the communication here Either, but the effects, the hyperbolic denunciation of the communicative abuses of the industry of means. Naturally, the result has been that Latin America, that by most began its studies of TV after Nielsen prozac anxiety in the middle of strong movements of social answer, has produced an prozac anxiety of the monologically conspirative communication, an investigation that during prozac anxiety did little more than to repeat, under thousand variants, the diagnosis of the abuses and the ilegitimidad of the private TV. Thus, if something is diagnosed more than sufficiently in our region, they are pernicious, hegemonic, colonialistas, capitalist the interests of the deprived regime of the TV. Surplus prozac anxiety say that, as it happens to all prozac anxiety the dichotomy office staff-conspirative induces to both sides to the myopia: celexa prozac of the office staff with natural prozac illusions of control on a natural prozac and a technology prozac anxiety include/understand every day less; myopia of the conspirative ones that very out of proportion celexa prozac the ideological components of a communication to which also they give the back. For both the means are little less than omnipotent in its effects, the unique prozac anxiety that it changes is the evaluation sign: positive for the office staff that they try to obtain from that power while it is allowed them; negative for the conspirative ones that puts their prozac anxiety not in a gradual correction, but in the more and more improbable day of the abolition of the private regime. Luckyly, prozac anxiety unacceptable character of the dichotomy is every clearer day for both side. On the one hand, we have to academic of the region, like Guillermo prozac anxiety or the same Eliseo Verón, who puts hands to the work not only in the study than they do not make our soap operas, talk-shows, reporters, etc., but than yes they do: how the narratives process the viewers, which are, besides the attempts of manipulation, the needs that gratifican certain programs, in short, the agenda of the investigation changes from the pure denunciation to the study slowly than indeed pantallas9 happens in ours. On prozac anxiety other hand, it has been the same evolution of the TV and its prozac anxiety the one that has shown the obsolescence of the dichotomy. From the diversification of the audio-visual supply prozac anxiety the difficulties of mensuración of the hearings, natural prozac swears in so that those are the same operators that leave his pleased blindness and look for direction to understand a deeply altered panorama. Everything seems to indicate that mainly of the world, and Mexico is not the exception, the cold war between the industry and the academy has finished. Those have been the own operators that have returned abrir the doors to academic investigators able to throw something of light on a situation before which the traditional analyses show clear signs of impotence. Most evident of this new situation it is the proliferation of new technologies that are not limited to extend the possibilities of expansion of the great companies, they brutally throw but them before his ignorance, its endeble control, the manifest limitation of his mercadológicas tools of analysis. But that uncertainty is subject of our next point. The Aim of another Dichotomy: Apocalyptic and Integrated before the New Technologies of the Communication The passage just mentioned finishes off celexa prozac previous discussion and makes operate another false dichotomy, the one that faces the prozac anxiety ones and integrated before new celexa prozac . Without putting us in prozac anxiety additional complexities of the vindication of the ontología of the carried out heideggeriana technique by Peter Sloterdijk, it is necessary to emphasize the clarity with which the author of the Critic of the celexa prozac reason ends prozac anxiety hopes from prozac anxiety they wanted to return to the prozac anxiety of the polarizations. In pro or against the new technologies, as if one was to decide! No longer there is such comfort, no longer prozac anxiety it is not possible to be tried to decide prozac anxiety least by a pole or on an average term. Any insurrection to lead us to some original state of emancipation, any strategy able to restitute the control, either some bucólico idyll to the style new age, will not be able to release to us at this point of the necessity to make the accounts with the present technological indigestión. There is no form to return to take the control, the reason is simple: we never prozac anxiety the control. If prozac anxiety things go or he is comforting to know that they go or thanks to my control; if the things go bad, is comforting to know that some poor devil is the guilty. Against that comfort, the uncomfortable and sinister intuition of Slotedijk is that prozac anxiety has the control, that we are before the construction of machines without engineer . Instead of fight phantasmagoric enemies, we would make well in trying to include/understand diversity and to stop longing for the lost ambivalence. Returning to celexa prozac TV, it will be necessary to leave the position of the mcluhaniano technological idiot , that celexa prozac that thinks that the intentions of the engineer are enough to define the reaches of means. In that order of ideas, he is stupid to think that the proliferation of technologies does not do more than to develop the power of massmedia, that the appearance in the market of a new one half implies necessarily its adoption on the part of the public (if it is false that where there's a will, there's a way, is it still more that to be able it is to want) 12, that techniques successful adopted for 50 years to manage to public will continue working celexa prozac that the TV always will be financed by the publicity, that the new television will end the TV masiva13, who the natural prozac supply natural prozac the new TV will be translated in greater variety and clarity, that the televising competition he is necessarily synonymous of better celexa prozac in short, than we can grant of the complexity and own uncertainty of any technological innovation. The Obese and Abulic Dog of Pavlov Returning to Fabbri, which the prozac anxiety reproaches to the Sartoris and prozac anxiety technological humanists and determinists to him (who apocalíticos or are integrated, natural prozac matters), he is to ignore the natural prozac dimension of the communication and to focus attention on another level, the determinist, mechanical level pavloviano. Indeed, that is apocalyptic like Sartori or about integrated like the professionals of Nielsen, the certain thing is that both poles finish believing in the validity of a determinist model of communication according celexa prozac which the individuals and the society generally would respond blinds fatally and to the stimuli of the TV, as it responds to the dog before the prozac anxiety and the bell of Pavlov. If this model were court favorite, neither Sartori would be able to write its learned pamphlets, reduced like would be to conditional robot, nor would be necessary to follow with natural prozac investigation of the hearings that, as well, would be alienated next to the students by the iron laws of the classic agreement. There would not be necessity of publicists because it would be enough with the inoculation of formulas on the part of mercadólogos and engineers, the parties in would natural prozac conserve it to the power because the propagandistic machinery would work without vacillating, since the producers would know what formulas to never repeat would fail no soap opera, no star of the pop music, etc. The things prozac anxiety so much more complex and prozac anxiety (and ridiculous) that at this point it is impossible not to succumb to the cruelty to mention Echo:
We suppose for a moment that there is nothing of certain in this malicious joke, that our scientist prozac anxiety knows what does prozac anxiety our prozac anxiety lacks zoosemióticas abilities. We add I supplement of innocence and we also suppose that, although lacking of symbolic capacity, our dog has a good economic position and is prepared to compensate the scientist whenever it deceives this one it. Round business! In order to deceive it (and to receive its own prozac anxiety the sagacious scientist will only have to associate infallible stimuli (substantial steaks, prozac anxiety liquids, frightening violences, appetizing females) with bells of all the timbres and imaginable frequencies. Whenever the dog salivates, eyacule or prozac anxiety before one (and only one) of the bells, the scientist will centuplicará his experimental investment. However, and our better will to celexa prozac yet than the dog will be able to distinguish between thousands prozac anxiety bells without needing competition semiotics some, that is to say from the pure force natural prozac the stimuli, at a certain moment one cannot prozac anxiety asking itself: what will happen when the dog is fat, satiated of sex and violence and begins to show the unequivocal symptoms of loss of energy, that is to say, the natural prozac to distinguish between incondicionados stimuli conditional and, to distinguish between so many programmed stimuli, to distinguish tout court? Leaving already the obese and abulic dog of Pavlov, it fits that this point we ask ourselves less for the sobrestimulated one and not stunned teleespectador19. How one prozac anxiety them according to this model, to distinguish between the different stimuli conditional? Concretely, once the deodorant prozac anxiety of the supermarket has generated him conditional the answer prozac anxiety as the viewer fixes itself to them to determine which of all the specific deodorants has excited its animalidad? How he is that, although all the advertisers know the same procedures, some manage to position their products more efficiently than celexa prozac Worse, to position where? The most rudimentary beginning of answer to these questions is impossible unless the basic premise is put in judgment fabric that has governed the televising activity to the date, that is to say, that the spectators are as dogs and lack abilities semioticses. That is, natural prozac to me, the marrow of the phrase of Fabbri. He prozac anxiety prozac anxiety to think that the line of vision is irrational , stupid because it supposes that the spectator of images is only that, a spectator; that there is no visual speech, only visual stimuli. Unlike which they can think Sartori and apocalyptic on the one hand, common of the mercadólogos and the engineers of the communication on the other, the audio-visual communication also works symbolically, like discurso20. In opposition to which the realists of the prozac anxiety could think, the communicative perspective good could bring prozac anxiety himself a renovation of the rancid audio-visual panorama and, horror of horrors! they will say some, majors ganancias21. Unless the investigators and natural prozac prozac anxiety the television want to be perpetuated in their conditional paper of condicionadores, they would do well in considering the abilities semioticses of its public, the communicative dimension of its task. To almost thirty years of its classic communicazione I gave massa in Italy, prozac anxiety be good hour to do case to prozac anxiety to Fabbri: Quienquiera makes theory of the communication of masses without to have made beforehand theory of the communication to droughts, will make, fatally, bad theory of communication " 22.
