Mediated Voyeurism"},"content":{"rendered":"<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">After some initial resistance, this clear invasion of the public into the private was no longer perceived as such and was assumed as an opportunity to exhibit and make oneself known, to achieve the so-called fifteen minutes of fame (<a href=\"https:\/\/locusterribilis.com\/en\/2026\/07\/30\/\u00a7-9-8-quince-minutos\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"1753\" target=\"_self\">9.8<\/a>). The functioning of this form of media exhibitionism requires the emergence of a new kind of voyeurism, not necessarily sexual, which Clay Calvert, a professor of communications at the Pennsylvania State University, defined as <em>mediated voyeurism<\/em>, which refers to<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">the consumption of revealing images of and information about others\u2019 apparently real and unguarded lives, often yet not always for purposes of entertainment but frequently at the expense of privacy and discourse, through the means of the mass media and Internet.<sup data-fn=\"09e0af1f-d20a-4564-9fc1-08e7f0e1135e\" class=\"fn\"><a href=\"#09e0af1f-d20a-4564-9fc1-08e7f0e1135e\" id=\"09e0af1f-d20a-4564-9fc1-08e7f0e1135e-link\">1<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">This new form of voyeurism\u2014which not only wants to <em>appreciate<\/em> fame but also to <em>encompass<\/em> it\u2014is at the root of traditional media as a threshold, a terrible place. The lack of distance between spectator and spectacle (<a href=\"https:\/\/locusterribilis.com\/en\/2026\/07\/22\/\u00a7-9-1-respeto\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"1703\" target=\"_self\">9.1<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/locusterribilis.com\/en\/2026\/07\/23\/\u00a7-9-2-publico-y-privado\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"1708\" target=\"_self\">9.2<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/locusterribilis.com\/en\/2026\/07\/27\/\u00a7-9-5-del-rigor-en-la-ciencia\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"1729\" target=\"_self\">9.5<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/locusterribilis.com\/en\/2026\/07\/28\/\u00a7-9-6-la-hora-de-mao-tse-tung\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"1736\" target=\"_self\">9.6<\/a>) implicit in mediated voyeurism not only devalues privacy, it simultaneously alters human interaction and the capacity for discussion among individuals. \u201cThe culture of mediated voyeurism is characterized by a number of attributes,\u201d says Calvert, \u201cit values watching over discourse, sacrifices privacy for other\u2019s enjoyment and enlightenment, and demands protection for often aggressive and intrusive gathering of visual images and information.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">But more importantly, mediated voyeurism separates us from the people exposed on the TV set. We are here and they are there, on the other side of the screen. They have become a new type of  \u201cother\u201d we can observe from afar without really committing, and that yet is extremely close and accesible. An alterity whose essence does not lie simply on \u201cnot being of the home\u201d (<a href=\"https:\/\/locusterribilis.com\/en\/2026\/04\/23\/\u00a7-0-24-domesticacion\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"1107\" target=\"_self\">0.24<\/a>) but in the fact of being assumed as something simultaneously distant and near, which we recognize as our own and yet constantly unsettles us. This new alterity is defined by taking place exclusively on the hyperreal threshold of the media (<a href=\"https:\/\/locusterribilis.com\/en\/2026\/07\/27\/\u00a7-9-5-del-rigor-en-la-ciencia\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"1729\" target=\"_self\">9.5<\/a>). The \u201cother\u201d is not simply who we see on the screen, it is anyone who has begun to inhabit a representation that claims increasingly more territory for itself. The other is all of us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-footnotes has-small-font-size\"><li id=\"09e0af1f-d20a-4564-9fc1-08e7f0e1135e\" class=\"translation-block\">Calvert, <em>Voyeur Nation<\/em>, 2-3. <a href=\"#09e0af1f-d20a-4564-9fc1-08e7f0e1135e-link\" aria-label=\"Jump to footnote reference 1\" data-no-translation-aria-label=\"\" data-trpgettextoriginal-aria-label=\"\" target=\"_self\">\u21a9\ufe0e<\/a><\/li><li id=\"52414dd9-0e83-402a-97f7-5e83c08c1d09\" class=\"translation-block\">Ib\u00edd., 24. <a href=\"#e08ab309-41fe-491d-a30d-a342e6b67aea-link\" aria-label=\"Jump to footnote reference 3\" data-no-translation-aria-label=\"\" data-trpgettextoriginal-aria-label=\"\" target=\"_self\">\u21a9\ufe0e<\/a><\/li><\/ol>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Luego de un poco de resistencia inicial, esta clara invasi\u00f3n de lo p\u00fablico en lo privado dej\u00f3 de ser percibida como tal y se asumi\u00f3 como una oportunidad para exhibirse y darse a conocer, para conseguir los llamados \u201c15 minutos de fama\u201d (9.8).
