Abstract
This article is an English-language translation of ‘De la paléo- à la néo-télévision’ by Francesco Casetti and Roger Odin (1990), originally published in French. The article highlights transformations in the transition from paleo- to neo-television in France and Italy at the time when private television proliferated in Europe. From a semio-pragmatic perspective, it seeks to understand how the change in ‘ dispositif’ leads to changes in the spectator’s positioning. Paleo-television is described as an ‘institution’, founded on a project of cultural and popular education. Neo-television breaks with this pedagogical communication model through interactive processes. The article theorises the two models and points towards their intersections.
期刊介绍:
Critical Studies in Television publishes articles that draw together divergent disciplines and different ways of thinking, to promote and advance television as a distinct academic discipline. It welcomes contributions on any aspect of television—production studies and institutional histories, audience and reception studies, theoretical approaches, conceptual paradigms and pedagogical questions. It continues to invite analyses of the compositional principles and aesthetics of texts, as well as contextual matters relating to both contemporary and past productions. CST also features book reviews, dossiers and debates. The journal is scholarly but accessible, dedicated to generating new knowledge and fostering a dynamic intellectual platform for television studies.
