The deconstructed narrative: a research context for artistic learning based on simulation techniques

Abstract

• This article focuses on the contribution of new strategies for the decoding of visual information. Given that current circumstances comprise an image democratization and its problematic dogmatism as an informative document, we propose this work around a visual literacy media, widely worked in the mid-twentieth century because of its visual-narrative implementation in the cultural industry of that moment (the photo novel) and recovering at the same time this editorial format for its teaching treatment around visual narratives creation for various educational purposes.

From our point of view, the applications of the new telephone’s devices are also a competent tool to be included in the context of a contemporary artistic education. This approach exceeds the medium itself and bring us closer to new artistic-social considerations such as the post photography phenomenon, which make us to analyze new spaces of interrelations and educative mediation and artistic learning.

In short, this work recapitulates an educational experience posed by the reinterpretation of identity through the current photographic fact, exposed to different forms of simulacrum, underlying in contemporary culture, to activate different strategies of deconstruction of the personal and collective iconosphere.
