Todos estamos juntos en esto. Explorando el uso de la segunda persona en los informativos de televisión
Resumen
La literatura existente sobre el uso de la segunda persona gira en torno a la relación del público con el texto. Los investigadores de la comunicación interpersonal y los expertos en narración y retórica sostienen que el uso de la segunda persona puede alterar los límites entre el autor, el texto y la audiencia en la interacción social, la ficción narrativa y la ficción interactiva. La literatura sugiere que este uso de la segunda persona puede cambiar la forma en que se conecta con el público, pero también crear un sentido de autoridad y aumentar la credibilidad de la narrativa.
En este texto, recojo estas ideas y analizo cómo el uso de la segunda persona en el texto de los informativos de televisión puede también alterar la percepción de la audiencia sobre los acontecimientos narrados y su involucración en ellos. Tras una revisión de la literatura existente sobre la perspectiva en segunda persona en los contextos de la interacción interpersonal, la ficción narrativa y los videojuegos interactivos, analizo la forma en que esas percepciones pueden utilizarse para comprender mejor el efecto que generan las noticias en televisión, adaptando un método y aplicándolo cualitativamente al texto de las noticias, y ubicando las conclusiones en la trayectoria conceptual de Michele Foucault y Edward Said.
