What will happen to our archaeologist in the future in about five hundred years who manages to recover all, or partially, our current material and technological media supports and try to decipher our culture based on the standards of media genres?
At this moment, it would be of vital importance to remember for those who still don't know that in the first moments of the creation of cinema, when the first productions began to be shown in auditoriums transformed into movie theaters, there were, obligatorily, two important professionals so that the film shown could be understood by the audience inside the cinema; as in the early days of films there was no sound recording, the films were speechless and without music, there was always a pianist providing the film's soundtrack, playing live inside the cinema room while the film was shown in every screening session. film projection.
The second professional was there to narrate the scene markings, where he helped the spectator watching the film to locate himself spatially and temporally with each cut from one scene to another scene in the film's plot, acting as a scriptwriter, so the language of cinema was new, made with cuts forward in time and backwards in time, with changes in scenery locations, all of this was informed so that the viewer would not get lost in the rapid changes of cuts because the natural sequence of real-life events was broken and they were shortened. in many days, years, hours, the scenes that appeared in the film; pre-cinematic culture needed to incorporate and learn to decipher the visual language of the new type of visual spectacle, with its tricks of appearance, disappearance, continuities and discontinuities of narratives; To this day, there are very complex film scripts in which the viewer needs time to perfectly understand the concatenation of the scenes, imagine at the time when this visual language was being invented!
The question then is: will our future archeology students know how to unravel and distinguish all genres when they study our cultural production, separating genres, separating what was truth from what was fiction; They will be able to know how to distinguish in a reality show what was an act, what was a simple lie, what was an exaggeration, what was just an artificial ploy, what was a spectacle, what was a pretense, what was true, what was the custom and not an aberration of a minority of celebrities, of what was merely artistic, of what was true?
How will they understand our culture, our current humanity?
In the same way, when we interpret ancient books such as the collection called the holy bible, we do not have the standards to know what the genres that are mixed there were, what was poetry, what was simple mythology, what was historical fact, what were the everyday facts, what was staging, what was the epic narrative, what was a true report?
