«Homo videns. La sociedad teledirigida» is the essay by Giovanni Sartori and Fernando Savater, in Punto de Lectura paperback (256 pages, in Spanish).
Starting from the «animal simbólico», Sartori analyses how television imposes image over word and reduces the capacity for abstraction and critical thinking. The «homo videns» is exposed to remote-controlled opinion, which alters democratic life and citizen participation.
Work originally published in Italian in 1997 under the title «Homo videns. Televisione e post-pensiero». This edition is from 2005.
Work of interest to readers of political philosophy, sociology and media criticism.
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.
