Abstract
Media violence is one of the most relevant and recurring themes in DeLillo’s fiction This phenolnenon can be found prominently represented in Zero K (2016) as well as in Point Omega (2010), through the mediated consumption of distant suffering and the fictional lnurder respectively. This article, with the objective of deepening the understanding of audiences and violence consumption in DeLillo, examines the mediatization of said images as it appears in this author’s oeuvre, through the theoretical framework of media studies. Wars, natural disasters and murder appearing in DeLíllo’s screens, help us in our understanding of his representation of the spectator as passive witness and moral participant in the aesthetic and ethic discourses of violence representation in medial.
