Abstract

The growing trend in media studies owing to the transnational dimension of trafficking and the production of images accompanies its displacement toward the center of debates about the role of representation in contemporary global cultures. These issues could be fulfilled in two keyproblems: the hybridization of disciplinary fields and the relation between the visible and the sayable. The essay aims to distinguish some transformations that directly affect the own methodological and epistemological constructions of the disciplines, contributing for this purpose some principles of this heteroclite and multiple field of the Visual Studies and the pending challenges of its development in Latin America.
