Resumen
This round table’s main goal was to analyze and disclose the way in which the Myth of the American West was introduced as a valid narrative through different audiovisual products that had an impact in the Spanish television audience of the 1980s. The three speakers offered different critical reviews of varied audiovisual products from the 1980s Spanish television, ranging from movies to TV shows and cartoons, in order to analyze how they contributed to the implementation and assimilation of the Myth of the West as an authentic symbol of America. The tone and style of this round table mixed a scholarly rigorousness with a personal and emotional perspective, blending affective recollections with academic scrutiny. The final intention was to examine the strategies through which we were formed and grew up both as individuals and as academics by this exposition to audiovisual products representing a mythic perspective of the American West
