This book's aim is to analyze some manifestations of the modern or postmodern culture as represented through the media. Its three main themes are the remediation (and figures of distance towards sources), the body in its extreme formes (violence, metamorphosis...) and the new forms of narrative with a significative tendency not to finish. The three subjects interwined as in psychopaths films in which the impossibility of death affects either to the protagonists and to the narrative itself.

Mockumentary is a filmic practice –which has undergone a certain rise since the mid-1970s– that simulates aesthetic modes and the strategies of discursive construction of the documentary genre. Together with this stylistic appropriation, the fake also proposes a self-reflexive meditation on the limits of representation, the credibility of the image and its potentially lying and manipulative character. This article approaches the phenomenon from a historical perspective in order to then define the reflexive, poetic and rhetorical characteristics that define it.
