Diversity of serial forms of local television: names, forms, genres, programming and audiences
Discussants (throughout the day):
Ramla AYARI-CHERIF, Séverine BARTHES, Rina COHEN-MULLER, Moduk KOO, Stéphane THÉVENET.
The development of video-on-demand (VOD) and then streaming platforms has disrupted our consumption habits and brought about changes in content production. When they are not directly produced and broadcast by the platforms, series lose their televisual characteristics in the eyes of users and tend to become standardized in terms of serial forms. Indeed, the term "serie" (in English) is tending to become more widespread, to the detriment of the various generic names and specifications that have made the history of each local television (telenovela, dorama/drama, diziler, tamṯīlīyya / musalsal, etc.). At a time when we are witnessing the probable disappearance of television forms and genres, this study day aims to question the serial forms of television fiction and particularly their regional specificities. The aim is to study and question not only forms (number and length of episodes, serialization processes, programming strategies, etc.) but also thematic genres and the corresponding local names, in an approach to genre as a category of interpretation. The study and comparison of generic labels, the fruit of a consensus between producers, broadcasters and viewers, will provide a better understanding of the evolution of cultural and media practices in recent decades in our regional areas.
