[ES] Este artículo estudia las posibilidades de una “historia material” de los medios en la II mitad del siglo XX. Tras un análisis de la teoría de Walter Benjamin, focalizando el concepto de “imagen dialéctica” como instrumento clave de su discurso crítico, se proponen dos series de imágenes relativas a dos medios distintos, la televisión y el teatro. En ellas se analizan los contrastes materiales que permiten despertar no sólo de los mitos históricos que las envuelven, sino también de sus respectivos discursos mediáticos.
[EN] This articles explores the possibilities of a kind of “materialism history” of the media in the second half of XX century. After an analyse of Walter Benjamin ́s theory, specially the concept of "dialectic image” as a key of his critical discourse, two series of images related two different media, television and theater, are proposed. In both cases the material contrasts are analyzed, which allow to wake up not only from the historical myths which wrap them, but also their media discourse.
