In my teaching and research activity, I explore the role of this social-psychological phenomenon in social, political and economic dynamics. In modern societies, public opinion is considered the only legitimate source of political power. Thus, the art of influencing public opinion is also the most desired skill for those who try to achieve power. The subject becomes awfully complex when we add mass media to the equation. This triangular relationship \u2013 public opinion, mass media, political power \u2013 is the axis around which my research agenda revolves. Lately, I have been taking interest in Audiovisual story telling. Audiovisual media (Cinema and TV) have become the most common \u2013 and popular \u2013 vehicle to tell stories. I analyze the historical development of audiovisual storytelling, the elements of the audiovisual syntax, as well as the different techniques to create meaning through fictional narrative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information about the instructor, go to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/jcdelama.info\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">jcdelama.info<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-genesis-blocks-gb-columns gb-layout-service-1 gb-layout-columns-1 gb-1-col-equal gb-has-custom-background-color gb-columns-center alignfull\" style=\"padding-top:8%;padding-right:10%;padding-bottom:8%;padding-left:10%;background-color:#f1f1f1\"><div class=\"gb-layout-column-wrap gb-block-layout-column-gap-2 gb-is-responsive-column\" style=\"max-width:1200px\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-genesis-blocks-gb-column gb-block-layout-column\"><div class=\"gb-block-layout-column-inner\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Jos\u00e9 Carlos del Ama<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>RVAC 31712<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(860) 832 3211<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please, use the \u201cContact the Instructor\u201d area in the course\u2019s main menu to ask questions related to this course.
