Documentary cinema and television news programs share a way of looking at the world characterized by a particular relation with reality. Both belong to genres known by presenting facts, characters, places, etc. which belong to the historical world. This article reflects on the relations established between these discourses (established as credible) and their representations, and the beliefs and previous ideas of the spectators. We focus on the theoretical perspective of Eliseo Verón, added to the contributions of Social Psychology in respect to social identity, and the construction and functioning of social thought.To exemplify these concepts, a set of Argentine audiovisuals are analyzed taking into consideration three concepts (genre, technical images and the link between individual and social representations) that are understood as theoretical and operative instances for the development of analysis and reflection.
