Abstract

 

The article discusses how the simultaneity and ambivalence present in everyday experiences inscribe themselves in audiovisual productions of contemporary art. Based on theoretical and methodological studies of discursive semiotics, related to the effects of meaning units in audiovisual texts; of contemporary art, concerning the process of appropriation and resignification of images and sounds; and art education on reading images, it analyzes the video art Para Dentro and the reading of this work by a group of children. The analysis of this video art highlights the articulation, through superposition, of the several languages that constitute the audiovisual text and the presentation of images and sounds ambiguously, creating effects of ambivalence. What made the children the most restless during their reading were the visual and sound ambivalence. The results show the need of reflecting at school about the contemporary audiovisual narratives seeking to understand the present moment.
