Psychology of social cognition as the construction of the image of the social world requires addition of the concept of deep mediatization (N. Couldry, A. Hepp). In the frames of modern sociology and cultural-historical psychology it should be talked about the mediatized construction of the image of the world, mediated by the language of mass communication. The code of media language — not verbal, but visual — is analyzed in the epistemological and methodological contexts of the visual turn in the humanities. The realization of this trend in Russian psychology is the aesthetic paradigm of the everyday life (T. Martsinkovskaya, M. Guseltseva, D. Khoroshilov). Its main idea is the comparative analysis of the languages of the scientific concepts and art and media images, what allows to explicate visibility optics of the everyday life in the modern society. The article concludes with the aesthetics and psychological explanation of the phenomena of deep mediatization of social cognition from Nicola Gogol to the popular TV series «Black mirror».
