- ¿Es necesario seguir un ritual? explorando los usos sociales de los medios de comunicación Bent Steeg Larsen Thomas Tufte Estudios Culturales Has media use anything to do with rituals? This question has notgone unanswered in media research. And there is much evidence thatsome kinds of media use actually liave the fonn and the functions of rituals.Most notably, perhaps, are the so called media events (royal weddings,Olympic Games, state funerals etc.) that can be seen as occasionalritual celebrations of society, constructed and transmitted by electronicmedia. This article is a preliminary study, employing the concept ofritual on a few extracts from two different empirical studies, one fromBrazil and one from Denmark. First we present some empirical examplesin order to introduce the main concerns of the article. Tlien we defineritual as a primarily anthropological concept and consider its qualificationsas an analytical tool in media studies. We then go on to a criticalreading of some of the ways the concept of ritual is applied in mediaresearch, and, finally, we re-analyze our empirical examples in order topoint out further theoretical and analytical perspectives. 2001 artículo científico 3061-7537 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=31601302 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=316 Estudios sobre las Culturas Contemporáneas application/pdf Universidad de Colima Estudios sobre las Culturas Contemporáneas (México) Num.13 Vol.VII
