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. La transmisión televisiva del fútbol se ha convertido en la vía por la cual la mayoría de los aficionados viven este deporte. Sin embargo, la televisación de los partidos convirtió el fútbol en un espectáculo mediatizado, donde la percepción del juego del televidente varía respecto a la del espectador presente en el estadio. Este artículo toma como punto de partida la noción del panóptico de Bentham, y muestra comparativamente la similitud entre algunos aspectos de este concepto y la transmisión de un partido de fútbol. Para ello, deja a un lado la dimensión sonora y se concentra en el análisis de las variaciones causadas por el sistema de cobertura de cámaras seleccionado. En conclusión, busca establecer semejanzas entre el panóptico y las técnicas de cobertura televisiva de un partido de fútbol así como reflexionar sobre las implicaciones que tiene la televisión en la experiencia de este deporte.  application/pdfspaUniversidad Católica del Uruguayhttps://revistas.ucu.edu.uy/index.php/revistadixit/article/view/386/360Derechos de autor 2014 Dixithttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/deed.esinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessDixit; No. 20 (2014): Dixit; 4-17Dixit; Núm. 20 (2014): Dixit; 4-17Dixit; N.º 20 (2014): Dixit; 4-170797-36911688-349710.22235/d.v0i20reponame:LIBERIinstname:Universidad Católica del Uruguayinstacron:Universidad Católica del Uruguaytelevisiónespectáculofútbolpanópticoángulos de cámaraTelevisionshowfootballpanopticoncamera anglesFootball as show: the panoptic character of TV football broadcastsEl fútbol como espectáculo: el carácter panóptico de su transmisión televisivainfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion10895/59162025-12-22 13:37:18.389metadata.onlyoai:liberi.ucu.edu.uy:10895/5916https://liberi.ucu.edu.uyInstitucionalhttps://liberi.ucu.edu.uy/Universidad privadahttps://www.ucu.edu.uy/https://liberi.ucu.edu.uy/server/oaifranco.pertusso@ucu.edu.uyUruguayopendoar:103422026-06-18T06:49:53.279630LIBERI - Universidad Católica del Uruguaytrue
