El acoso escolar visto a traves del videoarte

Abstract

Bullying, a pervasive problem in today's society, has taken on alarming dimensions that require deep understanding and awareness. This degree work delves into the problem of bullying, exploring its impact on the social context, but from a unique perspective: video art. Through extensive research and analysis, this study investigates how video art can serve as an effective platform to address and raise awareness about bullying. The main focus is on how video artists have used this visual medium to convey the complex facets that this medium allows. Video art works that address various topics such as bullying, victimization and their consequences are examined, and how these creations capture the emotions, narratives and social aspects related to bullying will be analyzed. In addition, the historical evolution and relevance of video art as a means of expression in the national and international context is considered. The creative strategies used by artists to highlight various issues are explored, including experimentation with narrative, the symbolic use of image and sound, and the application of montage techniques. This degree work aims to contribute to a greater understanding of the dynamics of bullying and the way in which visual art can raise awareness and encourage reflection in society. Through the convergence between art and social problems, we seek to promote a positive change in perception and action in relation to bullying, highlighting the power of video art as a tool for awareness and social transformation. As such, it investigates the various uses of video creation, elements that can be used to contribute not only to the subject that is being addressed but also to look for media ways to be used in other problems or social issues to which they necessarily have to give a voice of expression to the facts. Time-lapse, a photographic technique that allows long periods of time to be compressed into seconds or minutes, resulting in an accelerated visual representation of events or changes that would otherwise be difficult to appreciate in real time, was employed in this process. Also in terms of this process, ASCII art was used in various captures made, as well as various techniques that can be complemented in photography during post-production, such as the cut out animation technique where cuts are used in the images to generate movement, or manipulation in the contrast of some images for total purposes of experimentation and input, this providing a powerful visual tool to examine and communicate specific aspects of bullying, as well as to highlight the importance of addressing this problem. Ultimately, this study offers a fresh and significant look at a crucial issue in the educational and social sphere, emphasizing the importance of creativity and art as vehicles to address and combat bullying in contemporary society.
