Repensar Gran hermano veinte años después: la casa como simulacro

Abstract

At the end of the 20th century, a revolutionary television program emerged world-wide within the entertainment competitions and maintained until today: «Big brother». The transparency as an ideal alignes with that which  characterizes today's society. In this case, the hyperreality that founds the space is seen in the construction of replicas that try to pose as simulacra. But the character of simulation is exposed in its content —its inhabitants— and in its continent: the artifices that surround it, as well as in its infrastructure, with the enclosure known as a confessional that functions as a truth provider.

KEYWORDS: television; representation; transparency; reality; sex.
