Jesús Montoya examines the transformation of the gaze and the construction of the real in a world permeated by audiovisual technologies and mass media. A fundamental work for understanding the intersection between literary narrative, visual culture, and social criticism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStarting from the concept of \"simulacrum\" coined by thinkers like Baudrillard, the author analyzes how literary texts have incorporated and problematized the loss of a real referent in favor of a mediated and constructed reality. Throughout its pages, the narrative strategies that writers employ to represent a sensorium characterized by the saturation of images, virtuality, and the spectacularization of experience are explored. The book not only describes this phenomenon but also unravels the aesthetic and political implications of writing in the age of global communication.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe concept of simulacrum in contemporary critical theory.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe transformation of the gaze and perception in the mass media age.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c!--nl --\u003e\u003cli\u003eLiterature and visual culture: how literary texts engage with film, television, and the digital environment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe construction of the real and the crisis of representation in current narrative.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe impact of audiovisual technologies on literary production.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is aimed at students and researchers of literature, literary theory, philosophy, and cultural studies.
