We understand the Audiovisual as a field that involves the creation, circulation, and consumption of images and sounds, where aesthetic and political proposals are made.

By "local knowledge" we understand the sets of knowledge, practices, attitudes, skills, and experiences that are produced and shared in a commonplace way in our daily lives. Historically devalued throughout the trajectory of Western thought, which seeks to legitimize itself as universal, local knowledge gains visibility with the epistemological turn in the studies of the everyday, which has enabled other forms of understanding social practices and cultural multiplicity.

Although local knowledge has its privileged space for production, reproduction, and consumption in interpersonal relationships, the 21st century has expanded its ways of doing: they are transmitted today on social networks, in schools, and through audiovisual productions, due to their relevance for learning and their cultural significance.

Thus, the understanding of local knowledge carries with it the valorization of the cultural and epistemological diversity that inhabits our societies; and it pays special attention to the inseparability between audiovisual creation and the binding processes between people and territories.

For this dossier of the Revista A Barca, we propose the intersection between the fields of Audiovisual and everyday studies, thus seeking accounts that pursue this intersection as an active form of social, cultural, artistic, and political resistance.
