Abstract
El presente trabajo presenta un análisis cuantitativo de la emisión de violencia en las cadenas de televisión más importantes que emiten para Madrid (España) a través de una metodología novedosa que selecciona aleatoriamente fragmentos de duración determinada de las emisiones televisivas. Con este instrumento, se recogen los actos de violencia que aparecen en esos extractos y se clasifican en función del tipo de violencia que manifiestan. Los resultados revelan una presencia elevada de actos agresivos, en los que sobresale la violencia física, y dentro de ella la mortal, que tiene su espacio natural en la ficción televisiva: películas, series y los espacios dedicados a anunciar su emisión (promos). Aparece, además, la notoriedad de la violencia en los espacios infantiles, así como la escasa diferencia en cuanto a actos agresivos en función de los tramos horarios. En conclusión, el patrón de los datos obtenidos sugiere que la emisión de violencia en televisión es fruto de una selección que enfatiza los elementos conflictivos de la realidad social y que aparece reflejadamente fundamentalmente en la ficción, los informativos y los espacios infantiles.
The present paper introduces a quantitative analysis of the broadcast of violence by the main television channels that emit for Madrid (Spain) through a novel method that randomly selects fragments of delimited lengths of time from television broadcasts. This device selects the acts of violence that are shown in those TV extracts, and c1assifies them according to the type of violent acts showed. The results show a high presence of aggressive acts, especially physical violence-and particularly of mortal character-, that has its natural environment in television fiction: films, serials and promos. This device a1so a1lowed us to establish the prominence of violence in children's programs, as well as the scant difference in the amount of aggressive acts through the time intervals screened. Concluding, the pattem of the data collected suggests that the broadcast of violence in television is fruit of a collection of violent acts that emphasize the conflicting elements of social reality and that is reproduced in fiction, news reports and children's shows.
