“TELESHAKESPEREAN” MODELS. THE DILEMMA OF LITERARY QUALITY IN TELEVISED FICTION
Abstract
This paper holds that the narrative values assumed by the audio-visual culture have broadened the semiological horizons of televised fiction. The transition of fictional resources from one field to another has optimised the serial narrative and augmented its reputation, allowing for the reflection on its new status over the following pages. To this end, a heterogeneous corpus of television series has been selected randomly but not exhaustively. This enables consideration of the new codes and narrative mechanisms which have promoted the rise of the television series, its increase in value and its place at the epicentre of a new chapter of the classic cultural debate; namely whether it signifies the beginning of an apocalyptic end to culture or can be integrated and ultimately accepted.
