The expressive and communicative potentialities of digital media have challenged the established assumptions about the audiovisual and multimedia as contexts and objects of study. The screens are multiplying, the apparatuses of access to contents are hybridizing, the emerging technologies are becoming new modalities of mediation and gaining centrality in daily life, the texts are fragmenting, the receiver acquires a double and simultaneous status of consumer and producer. Through the work of national and international researchers, this special issue explores contemporary dynamics of the processes of creation, distribution and reception of the audiovisual and multimedia in different fields, contributing to an updated reflection on their impact on cultural and societal practices.
