Ana Paula da Rosa 170 The question is: how to determine the norms to make subjects more or less recognized? It involves how the other is ap- prehended, and perceived as the other. The author calls framing the process carried out to contain, frame, and determine what is seen. However, in a society in mediatization containing and framing are not appropriate expressions since the frame does not determine the meaning production, although it affects it. To assume that the media framing is decisive6 would be to disagree with Verón that the grammars of production and recognition are always in disarray, as meaning passes through different layers in circulation. Thus, reinforcing Verón’s perspective in dialogue with Braga’s proposition (2014), the mediatization logics do not allow for unique contexts, as there are tentative actions on the part of the subjects. The point here is in the condition of visibili- ty (ROSA, 2020b) which, like recognition, precedes the constitu- tion of what is visible. When we talk about a condition, we think about a set of elements (norms, characteristics, moral values, imaginary predecessors) that allow visibility. In the case of Syr- ian children or political conflicts, they receive visibility because they are living bodies, indicating survival, perhaps signaling a possible success. On the other hand, favela children are dead bodies, faces that do not awaken interest, without value. Were they worthless subjects? In this same path, it is of notice that it is preferable to see the face of the future – the children of a different tomorrow – than the face of the past, frozen in archival photographs because the face of the present is unreachable. It is preferable to see the face of a foreigner and distant7 child, but not one that is close and calls us to think: who will be next? The child’s face is hope amidst the ashes and rubble. The face of the Brazilian favela resi6 The framing, in our view, is a constituent part of circuits, but the practice of the subjects in communication goes beyond the pre-defined framings. It should be of notice, however, that framing affects how an event is accessed and may interfere in the derived interactional processes 7 In an event with fellow researchers from Sweden, they presented us the debate on suffering at a distance, like Luc Boltanski’s work (1999), on politics and morality especially, which emerge from images in the media, such as the bombings. This approximation with the author has been carried out gradually, but there is a broad dialogue between the perspectives presented here and those developed by the author involving the politics of punishment and suffering that contacts us but does not make us move.
