«Homo videns: la sociedad teledirigida» is the philosophical essay by Giovanni Sartori, published by Taurus in paperback (159 pages, in Spanish).
Sartori argues that television imposes the image over the word and turns homo sapiens into a homo videns, a viewer who sees without needing abstraction. He examines how this primacy of the visible affects politics, public opinion and the formation of individuals, and asks whether the multimedia era will open the way to post-thinking.
The Spanish edition appeared in 1998 and comes from the Italian original 'Homo videns. Televisione e post-pensiero' (1997). The work falls within the philosophy and sociology of communication.
For students and readers of political philosophy, sociology and communication; it addresses the role of television in public opinion.
Giovanni Sartori was an Italian political scientist who specialized in the study of democracy, political parties, and comparative politics. He held faculty positions at University of Florence, European University Institute, Stanford University and Columbia University.
