Abstract

In this article we seek to analize the image published by Charlie Hebdo in September 2015 regarding the photograph of Aylan Kurdi lying dead on the shore of a beach in Turkey. We introduce the idea of the media event in two stages and we seek to place the photography on the current realm of the visible. We propose to look at the Charlie Hebdo image from the clssic idea of the narcotic disfunction.
