Abstract

Abstract With the text "Reverie and Radio" by Gaston Bachelard (1884-1962) present in the book "The Right to Dream" we elevate the radio to a cosmic problem in which the imaginary unfolds in the structure of the mind. Through the inclusion of television that Jean-Jacques Wunenburger (1946-) addresses in the book "Man in the Age of Television" and in excerpts from "The Symbolic Imagination" by Gilbert Durand (1921-2012), we find neurobiological elements of the brain unfolded in the metaphor of television. With the issue of the pandemic, and even before it, both radio and TV had to reinvent themselves in the face of the era of artificial intelligence on the internet. The limitations and potentialities of this reality lead us to think about the reverberations and resonances of such a fact in our imagination. The objective of this communication is to explore the reverberation of the imaginary in the hypnotic spectacularization of the television communicative senses in our mind. How to bring new dreams and daydreams from the rupture with the language of radio consciousness? We intend to express what the image that moves towards the return of TV to the new spirit of radio, even if virtually, can mean, and what such new communication techniques between the human being and the world can bring to our imagination.
