To educate in audiovisual communication: a challenge for “updated” Cuba

Abstract

This article discusses the relevance of an education in audiovisual communication in the current context of Cuba, when updating the economic and social model is a priority for the Government. The “selective isolation” that, for decades, allowed the exclusivity of an audiovisual offer centralized in the media, property of the State, suffered an onslaught in 2008, with the boom of the “package”. Through this informal alternative for the distribution of contents, people consume foreign made audiovisual products, amongst others, in hours of their own choosing. Official discourses and the press admit the changes in the audiovisual consumption patterns, but the Government´s strategy privileges alternatives to banality, instead of taking formal responsibilities for the empowerment of the citizenship.
