| Sumario: | Most football fans experience the sport as a TV broadcast. TV, however, has turned football into a media show, and what the viewer perceives is different from the experience of a stadium spectator. This article takes Bentham's panopticon as a starting point and compares it to a football broadcast, finding some similarities between both concepts. To this effect, it sets aside the sound dimension and concentrates on the analysis of variations depending on the chosen system of camera coverage. To conclude, it tries to find resemblances between the panopticon and camera coverage techniques as applied to a TV broadcast of a football match, and also reflects on the implications of this medium in the experience of this sport. |
