Abstract

The aim of this work is to look into the different commercial strategies used by the cultural industry based on a choice of images of album covers of the 70s and 80s. Modes of mass circulation and proliferation of images constitute a social imaginary which settles prejudices and valuation turning into the morals of the consumer society. Stereotyped images will be analyzed evidencing repetitive formal features that carry a considerable ideological baggage which contribute to the sales interests. An underhanded large production that new visual forms propose from their apparent disobedience will also be distinguished. Inquiries associated to gender construction and affective-sexual relations are some of the interpretative lines that will arise from this proposal. We want to make them evident once again.
